Tiana Wheeler-Barnes, MSW, LCSW

"Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear." I know this to be true as much as anyone. Depression, anxiety, lack of assertiveness skills, chaotic environments, and the fear of the unknown are just some of the challenges that make it difficult to navigate through life. But still, you deserve to live a life worth living. Nothing about you is a mistake. You are here for a purpose, and you deserve to hold space in this world. I can help you find your strength, your courage, and your truth in order to create the life you deserve. I’m a behavioral psychotherapist committed to helping individuals learn how to start, or get back to, living their best life. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors and habits while decreasing negative symptoms and increasing overall functioning. I offer skill-based, mindful, somatic modalities that give my clients the ability to create a toolbox of skills relevant to their own lives and needs. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. I am extremely passionate about helping those who are underrepresented and underserved in the community. I am skilled in empowerment techniques and helping people become more self-sufficient, resourceful, and capable of being their own advocate. My best quality is that I can connect with people in a very genuine way while offering a safe space for everyone to be their unique self.
