Emily Barr(She/Her/Hers)

Emily Rose Barr is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington, Oregon, and Maryland where she works with women in their early 20s to mid-40s. Many of Emily’s clients excel in their academic and career pursuits and have a strong drive toward achievement and personal growth. However, they often find that high levels of stress, anxiety, and self-doubt interfere with their capacity to navigate life's inevitable challenges and disruptions. Emily is particularly drawn to working with women facing transitions such as moving to a new city or beginning a relationship, and can readily relate to those who struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, or feelings of low self-worth. She also has advanced training in Nutritional and Integrative Medicine, a whole-body approach that focuses on the intersection of mental health and nutritional sciences, and is a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP).

Emily's therapeutic orientation is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Strength-based techniques, through which she helps clients explore the role their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors play in their perception of self and others. She supports clients as they develop a more balanced understanding of who they once were and who they are working toward becoming, learning to be more compassionate toward themselves and approach life's difficulties with greater confidence and ease.

Emily is committed to creating a safe and inviting space for everyone she serves. Her style is warm, patient, and reflective. She values taking the time to get to know each of her clients on a deep level that goes beyond their presenting concerns, and encourages clients to see themselves in this way too.

As a seasoned Telehealth provider, Emily offers the convenience of remote therapy sessions and is excited to welcome new clients to her online practice!
