About Tanadja Barber
Barber creates a reflective, nonjudgmental space where clients can make sense of their emotions, address the inner critic, strengthen boundaries, and examine unhelpful patterns. Her work recognizes that personal distress often emerges within cultural, relational, and systemic contexts - including pressures from family, workplace dynamics, discrimination, and feelings of being misunderstood.
She is an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - and also identifies as a board-certified art therapist, which means she offers artmaking as an optional method to foster expression and insight when words are limited. Over eight years of clinical experience inform her integration of art-based work with existential thinking, cognitive behavioral strategies, relational-cultural perspectives, and DBT-informed mindfulness techniques.
Together with clients, Barber focuses on building greater self-understanding, healthier relationships, improved emotional well-being, and a life that feels more authentic and sustainable.
