Blake Barber

I have experience working with those who have been victims of sexual abuse as well as those with past offenses. It is often helpful to gain perspective in looking back on events to establish where responsibility lies and acknowledge factors outside of one's control, with the ultimate goal of feeling safe and in control in the present.

I have experience working with anxiety and trauma-related disorders through exposure and desensitization as well as using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to reprocess past traumas and adverse life experiences. Mindfulness and relaxation is also integrated into treatment as a necessary component of learning effective coping skills and ability to self-regulate.
