About Michael Barr

This therapist specializes in working with individuals experiencing complex mental health concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Complex PTSD (CPTSD), substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions. With particular experience supporting veterans and trauma survivors, care is structured, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices.

With specialized training and clinical experience in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), this therapist integrates DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions according to each client’s individual needs. Treatment focuses on strengthening emotional regulation, developing mindfulness skills, improving interpersonal functioning, supporting trauma recovery, and creating sustainable behavioral change.

This therapist also supports individuals experiencing overwhelming emotions, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm concerns, providing a nonjudgmental environment where difficult experiences can be explored safely and openly. Through collaborative skill-building, clients learn practical strategies for managing distress, strengthening relationships, and navigating challenges more effectively.

Currently accepting new clients, this therapist is committed to helping individuals build resilience, regain stability, and work toward a safer, more meaningful and fulfilling life.
