My name is Sarah Barkley and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker here in stunning Golden, CO. I know great outcomes can be obtained with the right balance of realistic goals, hard work and desire. I truly believe in my clients and their intrinsic wisdom. If you've been to therapy in the past and it "didn't work", or you're just looking for something unique, I tend to have an "outside the box" approach.
The work I do, I consider to be a combination of art and science.
Women's Specific Therapy
Women need a therapist who understands the psychology of women. One who can offer you the safety of another woman who personally understands and has thousands of data sets for others who have come before you, feeling the pressure to be everything to all people. Let us figure out together what's not working for you and how to change it. Become aware and get beyond the sabotaging influence of your past relationships and negative belief systems in order to become the woman you were meant to be. Let's do this!
Adolescent and Family Therapy
Social workers tend to not look at "the person as the problem", but the whole system surrounding the client and how we can strategically alter certain aspects of the environment to help them grow and heal. Being adults, we forget how profound adolescent struggles feel. We often overlook the importance of our teens passing through life challenges in a complete and successful way in order to have a strong and empowered sense of self moving into adulthood. I often meet with older adolescents and later, bring the family together, in order to achieve greater understanding between the generations.
Trauma Therapy
As a clinical therapist with a strong background in individual trauma and PTSD therapy, I long ago became certified in EMDR therapy. EMDR is one of the most proven therapy techniques in clearing/ desensitizing traumatic events in a way that traditional talk therapy has not allowed clients to do in the past. EMDR is utilized to not only decrease trauma but as a powerful technique for performance enhancement be it public speaking or athletic performance. Whether it's a "big" issue or a "small" one, it is all relative to how it is impacting your life.
Therapy for Trauma Professionals
The rewards of being a trauma professional; be it a police officer, nurse, physician, military personnel, educator, attorney, investigator or therapist, is immense. However, the world in which we work can feel dark at times. After years of working with individuals who do potentially traumatizing jobs every day in the hopes of bettering the world, I decided it was imperative I aid in supporting those individuals so that they can maintain a balance between the intensely difficult work they do and seeing the beauty that is often overlooked in the world.
It is never too late to create the life you feel you should be living.
