Hallie Barbara, LPC

Welcome. Impact Mental Health Therapy, LLC is a intentionally small private practice motivated to reach those looking for an improvement in their life. I have witnessed many people believe that mental health therapy is only for those with a major crisis in their life or have to have a current mental health diagnosis. Some tend to think that they can handle it on their own or ‘it isn’t that bad’. Unfortunately, due to that belief, many people suffer alone or with the continued patterns that distress them and those around them. I am a strong advocate for overall mental health well being and am here to let you know no matter how small or big the issue, Impact Mental Health Therapy can benefit you. I truly believe our overall mental health is just as important to our physical health. I can partner with you to navigate life’s ambiguous journey. Since 2007, I have had experience in helping older children, adolescents, adults and families. Various settings include individual, family, group in the outpatient, intensive outpatient and school setting. I have worked in the following areas over my career: substance abuse, adolescent and adult co-occurring disorder, domestic abuse, in home family therapy, court ordered treatment, probation, mood disorders, attachment, trauma, …… My current specialties include trauma, various areas of grief and loss, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relational dynamics, and life transitions. I utilize evidence base approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, Relational and Family Systems. These approaches lay the ground work as we tailor the sessions around your individualized wants and needs in a non-judgmental, transparent, empathetic way. Through the therapeutic partnership, we will address your individual symptoms in a realistic way with what you are comfortable with and in the context of your life.
