Hello, and welcome to Tiny Planet Counseling! My name is Tahja Barnes. I have earned a B.S. in Psychology & Human Services with a minor in Sociology and a M.S. in Clinical and Counseling Psychology. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences free of judgment. I am passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults experiencing various mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, and behavioral issues.
I take an integrative approach to therapy, utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and accompanying behaviors, person-centered therapy to help clients understand their self-concept and capacity for self-actualization and personal growth, and mindfulness-based therapy to help clients develop self-compassion, bring awareness to their body in the present moment, and foster acceptance of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, validation, understanding, and a genuine desire to empower my clients to build resilience and develop healthy coping and problem-solving skills.
Taking the first step towards therapy can be overwhelming and intimidating, but taking this step is also courageous. Remember, taking care of your mental well-being is a sign of strength, and I commend you for beginning this journey. You are not alone, and I am grateful for your trust. I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards mental wellness.
