Melissa Barton, LPC

At Barton Counseling Services, we believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. Life's journey can be filled with challenges and unexpected turns, and sometimes we need a supportive guide to navigate those complexities. Our dedicated team of licensed professional counselors is here to provide a safe and confidential space for individuals, families, and teens to explore their concerns, process emotions, and develop the coping skills needed to thrive.

Our Approach to Therapy

We recognize that each individual's experience is unique, and we tailor our therapeutic approach to meet the specific needs of each client. Our core philosophy is built on empathy, compassion, and respect. We strive to create a collaborative and empowering environment where clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their journey towards healing and personal growth. We utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and family counseling techniques to address a wide range of concerns.

Specialized Services

Our practice offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to address various life challenges:

• Individual Counseling: We provide individualized therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress management, grief and loss, trauma, and self-esteem challenges.
• Family Therapy: We believe that strengthening family bonds is essential for individual well-being. Our family therapy services are designed to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and enhance understanding and support within the family system.

• Teen Counseling: Adolescence can be a particularly challenging period filled with identity exploration, peer pressures, and academic demands. Our therapists specialize in working with teenagers and their families to navigate these complexities and develop healthy coping strategies.

• "Failure to Launch" Syndrome: We understand that transitioning to adulthood can be a difficult process for some individuals. Our specialized services address the concerns associated with "failure to launch" syndrome, helping young adults develop independence, set achievable goals, and make successful transitions.

• Online Counseling: For individuals who prefer the convenience and flexibility of remote therapy, we offer online counseling sessions through a secure and confidential platform.
