I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and a 2022 graduate of Walden University and earned a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.


I recognize and appreciate that every person is a unique individual and there is not a “one size fits all” approach to counseling. I will work with you to determine the best approach to meet your goals. I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist-Associate who serves adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with young people experiencing disruptive behaviors, and individuals experiencing change of life concerns, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders, as well as aiding individuals in developing anger management skills and coping skills to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

Sarah Barkley

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Asheville, NC


I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.

The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!
