Kandace Barkham LCSW

In our first session, we will build rapport and I will take a brief history. This helps us to make goals for treatment and identify what could be addressed in therapy. We will discuss what you would like to get out of therapy and identify goals for treatment. I often ask about your experience with previous therapists to allow the client to identify what was helpful or useful for them. I want clients to feel empowered and supported through therapy. I hope that they walk away from sessions feeling prepared to lean into personal growth and capable of showing themselves compassion as they grow and heal.

I utilize several modalities in therapy depending on the needs or requests of the client. I am very familiar with Inner child work, TFCBT, DBT, REBT, ACT, NET, CBT, Somatic Bodywork, Mindfulness, and MI. I like to include a wide variety of tools based on the individual learning style and feedback about how they would like to accomplish their goals. I include journal exercises, grounding techniques, mindfulness, ted talks, art, distress tolerance skills building, boundary exploration, trauma narratives, and somatic experiencing.
