About
Helene Barnett
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MA, LCSW-R
I have been a therapist for over 30 years and work primarily from an insight-oriented perspective, incorporating psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT approaches. My work has also been influenced by humanistic, interpersonal, and Gestalt therapies. I have attended the Gestalt Institute for Psychotherapy, in addition to earning advanced degrees in Psychology and Social Work, and I believe strongly in the connection between mind and body.
I value clarity, nonjudgment, and empathy in supporting a person’s desire to develop new meaning and a deeper understanding of themselves. Meaningful change occurs on an emotional level and involves reworking the ways we think and behave, ultimately leading to shifts in how we feel.
My approach emphasizes creating a safe, secure, and nonjudgmental environment. My style is interactive, involving attentive listening, mirroring, and reflecting back what I hear from my clients. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, addressing issues such as addiction, codependency, depression, and relationship challenges, as well as supporting the “worried well.” I have extensive experience with relationships, addiction, and co-occurring disorders. Above all, I believe that change is possible.
