It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments.

Barnetta is able to be professional but is gifted in mixing her ability to give you on point guidance, while making you feel comfortable and at ease, while you share your deepest thoughts and concerns. She Never gives you the sense that she is shocked by Anything you say or share with her. Her concern and commitment to support you puts you at ease, keeping you from trying to hide deep issues you might otherwise be afraid or even ashamed to admit. When you’re talking to her, you feel as if you a sharing your soul with someone who has known you, all your life, yet still accepts you just as you are and believes you can conquer your deepest fears and find the best part of you and believe in yourself and your ability to be successful in living your best life.
