Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sarasota, FL


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience. My current focus is working with children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 2 and 22. My practice is dedicated entirely to this age group because I believe early intervention and meaningful support during formative years can have a lasting, positive impact on a young person's life. I have worked with youth navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, and family, social and school-related stress. I often incorporate play therapy techniques into my work with young people, highlighting the ways that children and youth often express and process their experiences most naturally, through creativity and play. I also have a strong commitment to supporting parents as partners in the therapeutic process.

Kenya Barnhart

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


My name is Kenya Barnhart. I was born and raised in North Carolina. I have many interests. I love anything involving the arts. I love reading, poetry, painting, and spending time with my family. I am married to my best friend, and we reside in West Palm Beach, Florida with our family

In my experience as someone who advocated for a family member, it was important in our search for a therapist to find someone who was experienced in techniques and interventions that would allow the client to reach their therapeutic goals. You may be wondering how I can help you therapeutically. In the quietness of your struggles have you ever wondered, why do you have challenges in regulating your mood, can you heal from past trauma, how can you get beyond the hopelessness you feel, and how can you adjust to life changes? If you are someone who has challenges with anxiety, Depression, Self-Esteem issues, Past Trauma, Family issues, Conflict/Divorce, Marriage/Couple issues, Adjustment Disorder, Relationship issues, Grief and Loss, Communication Skills, Behavioral skills, and Coping Skills; I may be a good fit for you.
