Dr. Courtney Barber, PsyD, LMFT, AAMFT-S
Psychologist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Clinical Supervisor, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Providing quality therapy is not just my career—it is my passion. I believe healing extends beyond the physical to embrace mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. True wellness comes from within, and I firmly believe that everyone has the ability to break free from the negativity of the past and present. Our past experiences can teach us valuable lessons, but they should never control or define who we are.
I specialize in working with couples, families, and teens, bothe civilian and military. helping each individual and group overcome obstacles and create meaningful change. As an active duty military spouse, I have firsthand experience with the unique challenges and complexities of the military lifestyle. Whether military or civilian, each family and relationship brings its own dynamics, and I am here to help you navigate challenges, strengthen connections, and foster growth. Families, much like dynamic systems, thrive when every part works together harmoniously. When that harmony is disrupted, therapy can support the process of development, discovery, and growth. I focus on restoring connection, improving communication, and navigating conflict in a way that strengthens bonds. Additionally, I have extensive history working with teens, particularly those who feel resistant to therapy; this work has been especially rewarding. I take pride in helping adolescents find clarity and a renewed sense of direction, even when they initially struggle to engage.
Clients often describe me as direct but genuine and kind, which allows me to address challenges effectively without judgment. I do not rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach; instead, I tailor therapy to each individual’s unique circumstances and goals. My focus is on meeting clients where they are in life and working alongside them to help them become who they want to be. Most people seek therapy for a reason, and my goal is to quickly identify negative cycles and assist in breaking them so clients can move forward freely and confidently. While therapy is not always easy, I believe the hard work is worth it because you are worth it.
Beyond my work in therapy, I am also a dedicated advocate for mental health, particularly when it comes to addressing access-to-care challenges. I am deeply committed to raising awareness about the barriers that many face, especially within the military community, where logistical hurdles, stigma, and systemic limitations often prevent individuals and families from receiving the support they need. These challenges are personal to me, and I actively work to promote solutions that make mental health care more accessible, equitable, and effective for all. I believe mental health is just as important as physical health, and no one should feel alone or unsupported in their pursuit of wellness.
Your journey toward balance, healing, and overall wellness begins with a single step. I am here to support you in breaking free from what weighs you down and finding the peace you deserve.

What Clients are saying about Courtney....
"If you are in need of a counselor with excellent communication skills, empathy, problem solving, acceptance and diversity, multicultural competency, and flexibility, you are in great hands with Barber Family Counseling." -Anonymous Client
"This lady (Courtney) has counseled me off so many ledges I’ve lost count! She’s not only kind and empathetic, but able to really give practical tools and steps towards healing. It doesn’t feel like you’re talking to a doctor, but a friend.. and the office at Barber Family Counseling is simply beautiful."
-Anonymous Client
"Courtney is a wonderful coworker and cofacilitator. She is a very direct communicator, so I and clients never have to wonder what she is thinking. She is very helpful for clients who need structure, as she is comfortable being solution-focused and goal-oriented. Her clients individually and in groups see results! Especially with teens, she is wonderful with "resistant" clients because she is able to see through the facade, speak to the person's reality and draw out their own internal motivation to grow."
-Anonymous
I prayed for a miracle and I believe that God sent us Courtney. She has a special gift that allows her to reach teens in a way that transforms their lives. I was completely at the end of my rope with my teen. My sweet, kind adorable baby had entered the dark realm of "teenhood", and I did not know how to handle it. Courtney was able to uncover the root of her anger and open the doors of communication for both of us. Courtney gave me hope, peace and my sweet baby girl back! She was the answer to my prayers. I will never be able to thank her enough.
-Anonymous Client
"Courtney has been my compass as I navigate through life. She is compassionate, professional, and truly cares about each of her clients. She tailors her approach to each client so you never feel like a case study, or that you are getting a “cookie cutter’’ treatment. Courtney is the first counselor that actually listened to me and addressed my concerns. I always feel better after I meet with her. She has truly been my life line, and I cannot recommend her enough!"
