My background allows me to understand people deeply while also recognizing the real-world pressures they navigate every day. Whether we’re working through trauma, rebuilding confidence, or creating a path forward, you’ll find that our work together is grounded, strategic, and truly transformative.

Lakeisha Barnes

Lakeisha Barnes

Therapist

Virtual • Delaware


I believe that healing happens best in a space that feels both professional and human. With over a decade of experience supporting vulnerable children, families, and adults, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people navigate their most challenging seasons—specializing in substance use recovery and child and adolescent mental health.

My background is rooted in a BA in Psychology from the University of Delaware and an MSW from West Chester University. While my training prepared me to navigate complex medical and educational systems like school IEP/504 meetings, disciplinary boards, hospital teams, and the foster care system, my real-world experience has taught me that every individual and family needs a unique, compassionate approach.

I’m a firm believer that the world needs more laughter, and that therapy doesn't always have to feel heavy. When I’m not in the office, I’m usually painting or glued to a good book. I believe that therapy, much like art, is a process of creation and discovery, and I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just trying to find your footing during a difficult season of life, I want you to know you don't have to navigate it alone.

My own story began in the Dominican Republic, and I was raised in the heart of the Bronx, NY. Growing up between two distinct worlds gave me a deep appreciation for culture, identity, and the unique stories we all carry. Because of this, I am proud to offer a completely bilingual space, holding therapy sessions in both English and Spanish.

With over 10 years of experience as a therapist, my main goal is to make sure you feel seen, safe, and truly understood. I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to mental health. Instead, we work together to help you find balance, heal from the past, and build a life that feels genuinely good to live.
