Hello, My name is Barry Parker. I am licensed in Indiana with 27 years of professional work experience. I have seen it all, during my years, not much surprises me. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I have worked with children as young as 5, teenagers (who often are not that accepting to therapy) and to adults as old as 107. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My role to refine, define and develop existing and new tools in your tool bag to take on life. You are taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life, which takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I believe one of the key elements of therapeutic bond. Due to personal trauma, I am not a good fit for the LGBT+ community.
I do not take cases with active court involvement, Child abuse with DFC involvement.
I am a animal lover, have 3 dogs and 4 cats, not to mention chickens and rabbits. I am easy going and do not use a lot of Therapy Speak, I tend to talk with my clients as I would with anybody else. Using my skills to connect the dots of what's going on in your life, to make sense of it, the best I can.
Hope to see you soon,
I'll leave the light on.
Barry

Barry has been the best for me. He really listened to me and had a lot of great suggestions for me to heal from a breakup. I would highly recommend Barry.

Barry is genuine and really listens. We’ve only just started our journey so I’m only speaking from the few sessions we’ve had so far but I really think he’s trying to get to know the inner me. The person that not everyone else gets to see. I like his feedback and he feels like a safe place for me to confide.

Barry is a please to sit and have a chat with every week. For me, it's great to just be able to have a chat about what I'm going through, day-to-day, with someone who doesn't come into the conversation loaded with knowledge about me and who isn't going to judge anything that I bring to the session.

Love that Barry is always just a message away whenever I need him. He’s given me some very useful things to help get through my cycle of abuse, learning breathing techniques and how constantly encourages me to do what’s best for me.
