Services

Life can get complicated. Together, we'll take things step by step and get you back on track.

Individual Therapy

Take time to focus on you! Voice your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental space. You are in charge of finding your health, happiness, and success in life but I can help guide your path. Are you ready to get to work?

Couple's Therapy

Do you feel like you're in a rut with your significant other? Every relationship is unique and can bring out the best versions of ourselves when tended to with safety, love, and hope. A little outside perspective can be a game changer. Are you ready to find that spark again?

Family Therapy

Whether you're five or you're ninety-five, everyone can grow. Let's get the whole family together if things don't feel comfortable or welcoming at home. You don't have to dread pulling into your driveway. Are you ready to create your team?

About JoAnne Barnes

Therapy is My Passion

Welcome! Let me be the first to congratulate you on starting this journey towards self-discovery and optimal living! As a life-long resident of Central New York, I know that life can change just as fast as the seasons do around here. I earned my bachelors of science in psychology at Cazenovia College, with honors, in 2011. My motivation was to learn as much as possible about what makes people tick. From there, I completed my graduate degree at Syracuse University, earning a Masters Degree in Social Work in 2013. The world became bigger, issues became more complicated, and I became more passionate about providing direct, clinical services to anyone brave enough to reach out. I have worked successfully in community-based programs, foster care programs, domestic violence programs, and a fast paced community outpatient mental health clinic.

I love working with anyone experiencing a major life transition: changing jobs, expecting parents, moving cities, graduating, grieving losses, and everything in between. It's the turbulence in life that can show us what we're made of! I am trained in several modalities including EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), motivational interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, child-centered play therapy, and exposure-response prevention. I know every person is different and every session is different. Together, you and I will create a unique, boutique blend of skills and modalities to best serve you! So let's get started!
