Charlar Barnes, LPC

I have tried many counselors before and have always been slightly disappointed in their level of awareness, knowledge, horizont and approach to counseling. I felt the counselors were a bit overwhelmed with my situation too as I am looking for clear, rational, approachable solutions and not a pat on the back or going in circles, whining about my situation. When I was ready to give up and fix things myself I found Ms Barnes. The Sessions with Ms Barnes are extremely helpful and I feel she understands where I stand. She has a high level of awareness and has a very positive attitude towards solutions and changing the perspective. She is efficient in her approach, listens and tackles the subject in a rational way which is so refreshing and I love it. I am not a person who enjoys going in circles, so I feel she is a solution oriented person. I respect that a lot as I felt heard and my time is respected. Before I felt that my investment and the weeks of counseling were completely wasted. After all the frustration of not being able to move forward I am happy to talk to a person who has a good IQ and EQ and is not only sitting there waiting until the time is over and trying to push the "solution" to the next and the next and the next session as some do it )) I might say that I can sense genuine interest, and I feel Ms Barnes is genuine and committed to her work. Cudos to Ms Barnes, and I think my subject is not for the light-hearted either, so big big thanks for looking at me with clear eyes and a clear mind. Thank you!!

She is easy to talk to and provides great tools to help outside of the therapy sessions. It’s the homework that she gives to aid you in the right direction! She is straightforward while giving new perspectives to tackle challenges.

I could not have found a more understanding therapist. I get so much more than I ever thought I would out of our sessions.
