Katrina Barnes

Katrina Barnes holds that real wellbeing rests on balance — and that balance lives or dies in our relationships. Working from Vancouver, Washington and available online, she approaches therapy as a collaborative process of tracing the threads that connect how we think, feel, and show up for the people around us. When something frays in a primary relationship, she sees the effects ripple outward into family life, work, and community; her role is to help clients follow those threads back and begin reweaving them.

She works with teenagers and young adults, women, and older adults navigating a wide range of concerns: anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, professional burnout, family conflict, co-parenting, marriage and couples issues, aging parents, and chronic illness. For clients who find that worry trails them through every notification and that the mental load of the day rarely powers down, that exhaustion shows up in the room too — and it belongs in the conversation.

Katrina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Bowenian Family Systems, Solution-Focused, and Narrative approaches. Across all of them, her orientation stays consistent: she listens carefully, looks for existing strengths, and works with clients to write a next chapter that moves past the stuck places toward something more whole.
