Dr. April Barnett

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
PSY 24765   

Welcome to Barnett Psychological Services, where we focus on providing mental health services and individual therapy specifically treating young adults (18-24), adults (25-64), seniors (65+), active duty service members, first responders, and their families. Our mission is to create a supportive environment to help you develop insight and understanding about how past experiences and conflicts can affect current behavior. Sessions focus on creating safe, accepting, non-judgmental and self-led explorative spaces in which you can better understand who you are, unlock your potential, and break unhelpful old patterns of behavior. We strive to help clients work towards positive change and to meet your treatment goals. 

My Specialization

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, PTSD, Trauma Recovery, EMDR, Stress Management, Depression, Couples Therapy, and Grief & Loss.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has worked side by side with highly trained medical staff providing a comprehensive range of trauma focused psychotherapy services for adults, active-duty service members, first responders, and their families for over 16 years. 

 

As a trauma specialist, my goal is to help you process, understand, and change the way you view yourself, others and the world. I believe that changing the way you think can help change the way you feel ultimately changing your behaviors. I also specialize in working with grief and loss, specifically the loss of a loved one by suicide as well as miscarriages and infertility issues. Grief changes shape but it never ends, and I can help you through the complicated process of the 5 stages of grief.

 

In addition to being a trauma specialist, I am also an insight oriented and person centered therapist. My goal is to help you uncover what is getting in the way of you leading a happy and healthy life. While we can’t undo the past, we can work together to find hope and meaning in the present and future by developing insight and understanding about how past experiences affect current behavior. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Here at Barnett Psychological Services, we are dedicated to offering a wide range of mental health services to address the unique needs of our clients. Our approach includes evidence-based practices and personalized treatment plans to promote overall well-being. We are committed to supporting individuals and couples in their journey towards mental and emotional wellness.
