Helen Barker, msw intern

 LGBTQIA+ Affirming

 Are you feeling overwhelmed, navigating grief, or struggling with anxiety or depression? As an MSW intern at Community Counseling of NWA, I am here to support individuals through life’s difficult seasons. 

I am dedicated to supporting individuals across the mental health spectrum, including those facing grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and more. At this time, I am seeing clients ages 10 and up. 

I also see clients navigating infertility challenges, and am a certified bereavement doula. I like to incorporate compassion-focused therapies and mindfulness-based practices for clients who find these approaches helpful. However, no one approach fits all, and I tailor treatment to each individual. My approach is grounded in a foundation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic principles, and I can ensure that we can collaboratively choose the tools and methods that resonate best with you. 

I aim to create a warm and candid space where you can feel safe to navigate your current challenges. I believe that we’re all navigating life in our own boats, and that healing isn’t necessarily about anchoring in calm waters. Instead, it’s about learning how to ride the waves and knowing how to navigate toward calm waters when we need to. Together, we’ll work to ensure you feel supported and empowered in steering your own course. 

Community Counseling of NWA is proud to offer MSW Interns the opportunity to broaden their experience and expertise in this important educational step. 

Rates for seeing Helen range from $5 to $50 for those experiencing difficulties in accessing support for their mental and emotional health.  You choose the amount that you are able to pay.
