Welcome to my practice! Navigating major life transitions and personal challenges can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. I'm dedicated to help individuals overcome obstacles and become their best selves. With over two decades of experience as a clinical psychologist and educator across multiple settings - clinic, school-based, and private practice - I have guided individuals toward reaching their personal and professional goals. This background allows me to bridge the gap between internal processing and identifying practical strategies to help adult clients reach their fullest potential.
I help clients manage their anxieties and provide action-oriented tools needed to navigate life’s critical turning points. My approach is collaborative – one which builds an empathetic partnership that empowers clients on their journey. I am caring, compassionate, and personable, often with a touch of humor, and I respect my client’s readiness for change.
I offer two distinct services. Psychological Services: Clinical, evidence-based therapy designed to address mental health conditions and past trauma. Life Coaching: An action-oriented approach for individuals who need support to navigate major life changes. Not sure which service is right for you? Contact Dr. Barmak for a 15-minute free consultation.
