Chris Barela, LMFT

I've spent nearly 20 years in social services and counseling. In that time I've learned that real change doesn't come from someone handing you a list of answers — it comes from understanding your own situation clearly enough to make your own choices.

I work with individuals, couples, and families using CBT, EFT, attachment-based approaches, and straightforward talk therapy — whichever fits what you're dealing with. You set the direction. My job is to help you see things clearly and give you tools that actually work.
