I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in Oklahoma and Missouri with over 19 years of experience working as a family and children's therapist, and as a crisis clinician through community mental health centers. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including trauma-based disorders, depression, anxiety, family relationship issues, parenting problems, ADHD, and ODD. I am also experienced in crisis care, and short-term inpatient care.
My therapy style is warm and interactive, but straightforward, and with a bit of respectful humor. I believe in treating all people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, structural, client-centered, trauma-focused or trauma-informed therapy. I prefer to come alongside a family or individual in partnership rather than to lead or dictate them through resolving their struggles.
My schedule is mostly focused on evenings and Sundays after 12pm.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Relationship issues, Sleeping disorders, Anger management, Self esteem, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, ADHD, Adoption and foster care, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Blended family issues, Co-morbidity, Codependency, Communication problems, Coping with natural or human-caused disaster, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), Dissociation, Domestic violence, Drug and alcohol addiction, Family of origin issues, Family problems, Fatherhood issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hearing impaired, Impulsivity, Mood disorders, Obsessions, compulsions, and OCD, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Self-harm, Sexual assault and abuse, Social anxiety and phobia, Young adult issues

Barry does a fantastic job of listening to me and then giving constructive feedback on how to tackle issues. I have several different fires burning and he still affirms me I’m handling it well even when it doesn’t feel like it.

It’s been great working with Barry so far! He offers lots of different coping techniques that I wouldn’t have tried on my own. I always feel comfortable sharing what’s going on in my life and feel he listens. He makes light conversation at the end which always makes me leave the session feeling calm and relaxed. So far I’ve made lots of progress with my personal goals, and I genuinely believe it’s due to having someone hold me accountable in such a supportive judgment free way :)

Barry is a great support to anyone dealing with family related issues, he has deep knowledge about what it means to go through stresses at home, work and family life. I thought I needed a female therapist but I gave it a shot and I’m glad I did. Few things can replace a truly human approach, empathy and understanding. Something we all need

Barry has been a great help to me already, he is very welcoming and makes me feel comfortable. He listens and provides interesting connections or way of thinking about things I’ve never previously considered. I look forward to my sessions with him each week and am so glad I took the step to start therapy.

I have had Barry Plumlee for a couple of weeks now and I can say that he is a great therapist. He definitely understand my situation and what I feel. I love that he asks me questions and engage in our conversations which is something that I did not have with my previews therapist. He give me exercises to practice so that I can deal with my issues better and shift my perspective of life/situation to a much more rational and healthy level. I love how patient he is with me and how he does not mind going over the same topic as many times as I wish. So far all the sessions that I have had with him have been very helpful.
