Dr. Barbera earned his PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of New Mexico in 1997. He completed his internship with a specialization in Health Psychology at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. As an Active Duty Air Force Psychologist he worked at the Eglin Air Force Base Hospital for the first 4 years of his career and the Hurlburt Field Behavioral Health Clinic for 2 years. In 2001 he moved to Indiana to join the St. Vincent Family Medicine Residency Faculty. In 2019 he moved to Riverview Health in Noblesville, IN to help their healthcare system start a Behavioral Care Clinic.
I'm committed to providing evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, chronic pain, diabetes self-management, obesity, and nicotine addiction. My patients can expect to learn coping skills for managing their symptoms and improving their quality of life in a welcoming, relaxed, and compassionate environment. Typical between appointment homework includes: symptom monitoring, reading, writing exercises, and coping skills practice.
If you receive primary care services within the Riverview Health system in Hamilton County Indiana then I would be happy (and required to by my employment contract) to see you through our Behavioral Care Clinic.
