Services
Counseling
Individual therapy for adults, in person in Raleigh or by secure video anywhere in North Carolina.
This is the core of the practice. Dr. Barnett’s clinical specialty is addiction, and he treats it alongside the things that usually travel with it: anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain all of it puts on the people around you.
Service description
Mental health counseling involves a collaborative therapeutic process aimed at addressing addictions, emotional, behavioral, and/or psychological challenges. Through confidential sessions, we provide support, guidance, and evidence-based interventions to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and improve overall well-being. The goal is to promote insight, resilience, and positive change in individuals’ lives.
What it covers
Anxiety
Persistent worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, avoidance. We work on what is driving it, not just managing it.
Depression
Low mood, loss of interest, exhaustion that sleep does not fix.
Trauma and PTSD
Processing what happened at a pace you set, with the goal of it taking up less room.
Relationships
Communication, boundaries, and the patterns that keep repeating with partners, family or at work.
Personal growth
Self-awareness, life transitions, and working out what you actually want. Not everything that brings people to therapy is a crisis.
Sessions are typically weekly for the first four to six weeks, then adjusted as progress allows. Most major insurance accepted, and self-pay is available.
Reaching out is usually the hardest part
Everything after it is easier. You don’t need the right words to start.
