I greet you with acceptance and an open heart. Life can throw surprises or maybe you've hit a roadblock and realize something has to change? Counseling provides a safe and confidential space to share worry, fear, sadness, anger, hopes and dreams, and then learn tools to deal with any challenge in your life. Call me now if you seek a path to the happy and serene life you deserve.

My ideal client is a client that wants therapy. A client that is willing to work a treatment plan and willing to go out of their way for their success.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist that works exclusively with individuals and couples. I enjoy helping each client identify the core struggle, expand awareness, heal relationship issues, and discover new ways of connecting to your inner self and others. I strongly believe each client has the creativity and power within to self-generate and grow. I am here to help support and encourage you on this journey.

Do you have feelings of being overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Are you or your family having a difficult time? We all experience hard things through life, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I am here to help explore and process feelings/emotions in a safe and comfortable environment.

Problems overwhelming you? Ready to take action and make changes within a confidential, supportive environment? I've helped people with relationship issues; bereavement issues; job problems; substance abuse; traumatic events; stress and anxiety; women's issues; improving communication skills. I believe we gain new insights when we are able to look at our problems and lives through a different perspective. My goal is to teach clients new ways of perceiving the problem, healthy coping skills for responding to the problem, and healthy attitudes and communication skills for working with partners, families or work environments.

I bring the depth and breadth of fifty years of professional experience to people of all ages, life styles, and cultural and spiritual backgrounds. I work with individuals, couples or families creating a safe environment to reduce stress, anxiety and depression, release trauma and reduce both emotional and acute and chronic physical pain. I integrate holistic psychotherapy, neurobehavioral approaches, family systems, dream and imagery work and psychological type. Listening carefully to your needs, I will work with you, helping you acquire tools to life a more fully empowered and happy life.

I think "moving on” from life's challenges isn’t easy; it doesn’t matter what actually happened/happening... getting over whatever is going on in your life is just hard. I think “moving on” actually means you have to move “through” & I provide a safe space for that to happen. I’m an experienced therapist who believes some topics deserve a deep dive & others are better tackled with solution-focused coaching. Over the years, I’ve helped people cope, heal, recover & basically “move on” from the hard stuff.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, family conflict, or just not feeling like yourself anymore? Do negative emotions or memories seem to make unexpected appearances at the worst times? If these are things you are struggling with, I can help. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to work through difficult emotions. I can help you or your adolescent find ways to improve the important relationships in your life, including how you feel about yourself.

I'm Barbara L. Mason-Palmer; I've treated clients of all different ages and backgrounds ranging from 6 to older adults. My areas of expertise include Anxiety, Depression, Teen Issues, ADHD, Grief and Loss, Marriage or relationship issues and Family concerns. More commonly my focus in treatment involves that of Cognitive Behavioral, Psycho-Educational, and Psychoanalytic Therapy.

Hey there! I could tell you how much I love to be in nature, drink coffee, and play with my dogs, and while those things are wholeheartedly true, they don’t tell you anything about who I am as a human or as a therapist. I’m not a “rainbows and unicorns” person. I don’t believe in spending money, time, and energy for me to tell you what you want to hear. I’m not fancy or quiet or scared to tell you what I’m thinking. I’m a real human whose been through real shit.

I focus on trauma initially because what I have found in over 6 years of work as a trauma therapist, is that so much of our present concerns and limitations is rooted in trauma exposure and history. This lends itself to unhealthy patterns of avoidance, hypervigilance/hyperarousal, disturbance in mood and cognitions. and being inundated with intrusions and flashbacks. Many patients that have struggled with years with anxiety and or depressive episodes really have suffered from trauma that has not yet been dealt with. T Fields Trauma Therapy is for you if this describes you!

Did you know that it’s ok, not to be ok? Before you can heal, change and transform yourself, you must accept where you are and what you feel right now. Being confronted with obstacles and stressors in life can be confusing and challenging, but you do not have to tackle them alone. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken the first, and hardest step; reaching out for help. No matter what struggles you may be facing, always remember, the comeback is stronger than the setback. As a Licensed Psychotherapist, with an educational background in Behavioral Neuroscience & Clinical Psychology; I will help you better understand - YOU.
