My Approach to Helping
Welcome to Core Values Psychotherapy! I'm Jazmine Barnes, a licensed psychotherapist. This message is for the ones who feel like they have to brave life's waves on their own. The ones who feel like they can't talk about their struggles because they don't want to be a "burden". This is for the ones who feel at a loss and don't know what to do next. The ones who feel disconnected or unsure. Let me ask you this... are you also feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or out-of-sorts? Do you feel like you have to put on a face to show that you have it all together? Are "small" things setting you off? Do you feel sadness or anxiety from past experiences or current events? Not feeling heard, seen, or understood? Maybe it’s hard to even pinpoint.
This is where I come in. Asking for help can be hard. You may be worried that you’ll have to feel feelings or re-live traumas you’ve worked hard to avoid. While I can’t promise that therapy will be easy, I can promise that I will provide you with a safe space, inclusive and free of judgment, where I will help you learn to slowly approach and process what is hard for you to hold on your own.
I create real connections with my clients that help them feel safe to explore the past, be in the present, and work towards a brighter future. I help you uncover and face negative patterns or beliefs that may be holding you back (subconsciously and or consciously). There is hope!
I take an integrative approach to treatment that includes person-centered therapy, strength-based, radically open dialectical behavioral therapy (RO-DBT), culturally sensitive cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused CBT, mindfulness-CBT, exposure response prevention (ERP), and solution-focused therapy. I love to pull from a variety of options to tailor treatment specifically for my client.
A path forward, towards a life you want to live, does exist. In our sessions, we’ll navigate your challenges and define what feeling better looks like for you. Therapy is different for everyone, so I work with you to individualize a productive plan that helps you take the steps to have a more balanced life and to live more self-assured. Let’s get started!
