Jennifer Barabas
I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker who believes that healing happens in safe, supportive relationships. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and never judged.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps the brain process and heal from distressing or traumatic experiences, so they no longer feel overwhelming. I have seen firsthand how transformative this work can be in helping clients move from surviving to truly living.

I work with individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, and individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, OCD, grief, and chronic stress as well as other things. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in your strengths. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, building tools for coping while also addressing the deeper roots of what’s bringing you into therapy.

I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, gain insight, and create lasting changes that support their well-being and overall quality of life. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in that process.
