About Me

My name is Caren L Barnes. I am an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I am a Certified Autism Informed Professional and a trained and certified provider of the Safe and Sound Protocol.

My approach offers  compassion-focused sessions that consider your individual needs (emotional, cognitive, biological, social, environmental, and spiritual.) I will share nervous system regulation techniques, cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and other research based practices. We can do this in the natural therapeutic setting of walk and talk therapy or in the office. 

I have 20 years experience in counseling. I have worked with preteens through adults. I have specialized training in depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, ADHD, and education. I have life experiences that extend my understanding as it relates to divorce, caregiving, parenting, and affirming all individuals.

I have walked alongside people grieving from the loss of a loved one, loss of relationships, loss of a career, and other difficult life transitions. I have helped individuals with heightened or sensitive nervous systems decrease anxiety. Some of these individuals are considered neurodiverse, with challenges like ADHD and Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome. 

I encourage you to walk with me. Through the harmonious blend of nature, movement, and mindful conversations, you will discover resilience, self-regulation, and a path to emotional well-being. Take mindful steps with us on your journey to healing anxiety and grief. I would be honored to share your journey, where you can find growth and joy.
