I work with various individuals who are struggling with mental health symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, and depression. As well as individuals who are experiencing life challenges such as unhealthy relationships, life changes, job concerns, situations where they feel “stuck” and every day stressors. My goal as a therapist is to gain an understanding of your life, identify possible blind spots, hold space for you to process emotions and increase personal insight, and encourage life changes that promote a better quality of life.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me! Whatever struggles you are facing, therapy is a courageous step towards personal growth and healing. I am Tanya Barnes, a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Idaho (LCPC-7511) and a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon (C7272). I have been a therapist for the past seven years and have worked with a variety of mental health diagnosis’,and mental health symptoms, trauma, multiple life transitions, relationship stressors, and diverse clients within the community and government sectors.

I am a Person-Centered therapist, trained in Brainspotting with a foundation of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. In my therapeutic approach I integrate various treatment modalities to fit each client’s individual needs and counseling goals. I approach clients from a trauma informed, humanistic, and strength-based perspective designed to facilitate the creation and development of personal insight along with strategies to obtain your counseling goals.

The opportunity for personal growth is significant with good therapeutic rapport together with improved self-awareness, self-acceptance, and resilience. I believe people can grow and change when given the time and space to speak their truth and develop their personal insight. Whether you choose to address past experiences, present challenges, personal healing, or desire to establish better relationships, I offer a calm and impartial space to address your individual needs.

Please reach out if you have any questions about the typical process of starting therapy or potentially having me as your therapist.
