He provides treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, addiction and chronic pain.
Dr. Barnes provides scientifically backed therapy techniques and closely follows evidenced-based treatments. He recognizes, however, that the most evidenced-based factor impacting psychotherapy outcomes is the quality of the relationship between the provider and client. Therefore, he strives to create an authentic and emotionally vivid relationship.

I help clients resolve psychological or psychiatric problems that keep them from fully experiencing their lives. I also help people achieve their life goals. Because no two people are the same, treatment for every person should be individually tailored. I do therapy, and use medications when they are needed. Some of the therapies I use are hypnotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, couples and family therapy. I can help with anxiety, depression, habit problems, psychological or psychiatric problems in people who have neurological or medical problems, and with relationship and family problems.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety disorders, panic, and OCD, especially when fear and avoidance start shaping how they live. Anxiety is part of our natural threat-detection system, but sometimes it becomes overactive, labeling everyday experiences as dangerous. You might find yourself avoiding situations, sensations, or even thoughts in an effort to feel safe. While that can bring short-term relief, it often deepens the cycle of fear. Our work together focuses on breaking that cycle so that you can feel more grounded, flexible, and connected.

I work with individuals who experience ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, and related challenges. These conditions can deeply impact how you think, feel, connect with others, and manage everyday life. Although each experience is different, many people struggle with similar challenges—such as regulating emotions, handling stress, staying focused or motivated, and feeling connected to themselves or the people around them. I have worked with people from all walks of life from all over the world, such as young adults, seniors, Native Americans, veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

FAQ - Chronic Pain Psychiatrists
How does chronic pain affect mental health?
Living with chronic pain—whether due to an injury, illness, or another condition—can be an emotionally and physically debilitating experience. In addition to persistent discomfort, individuals with chronic pain often face disruptions to their routines, limitations in physical functioning, loss of independence, and challenges maintaining work or social relationships. These stressors can lead to or worsen symptoms of a variety of mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety. Because chronic pain affects both the body and the mind, many individuals benefit from not only medical treatment for their pain but also psychiatric care to support their mental and emotional well-being.

How do psychiatrists treat chronic pain?
Psychiatrists who specialize in chronic pain understand how chronic pain can impact mood, sleep, motivation, and quality of life. They often use a combination of medication and psychotherapy to help clients manage the emotional aspects of chronic pain. This may include prescribing antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, or other medication types that can also assist with sleep or pain modulation. In therapy sessions, psychiatrists may use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns related to pain, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients cope with symptoms, and mindfulness-related techniques to help clients manage stress and improve resilience. Psychiatrists may also work collaboratively with pain specialists, primary care providers, and physical therapists to help ensure a client's care is coordinated across their different treating professionals.

How can I find a psychiatrist who specializes in chronic pain?
Psychology Today's online directory is a useful tool for finding psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who have experience working with individuals managing chronic pain. The platform offers filters to narrow results based on areas of specialty—such as chronic pain and/or chronic illness—as well as details about therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, language preferences, and session fees. Reviewing these profiles can help individuals and families find the right mental health provider for their needs, whether seeking short-term support or ongoing care for chronic pain.
