Get the care you deserve.
“Seeing my clients heal and find new ways of coping is success to me. I am right there beside them along their journey.”
Welcome to Core Values Psychotherapy! I'm Jazmine Barnes, a licensed psychotherapist. This message is for the ones who feel like they have to brave life's waves on their own. The ones who feel like they can't talk about their struggles because they don't want to be a "burden". This is for the ones who feel at a loss and don't know what to do next. The ones who feel disconnected or unsure. Let me ask you this... are you also feeling overwhelmed, lonely, or out-of-sorts? Feeling like you have to put on a face to show that you have it all together? Are "small" things setting you off? Do you feel sadness or anxiety from past experiences or current events? Not feeling heard, seen, or understood? Maybe it’s hard to even pinpoint?
This is where I come in. Asking for help can be hard. You may be worried that you’ll have to feel feelings or re-live traumas you’ve worked hard to avoid. While I can’t promise that therapy will be easy, I can promise that I will provide you with a safe space, inclusive and free of judgment, where I will help you learn to slowly approach and process what is hard for you to hold on your own.
I create real connections with my clients that help them feel safe to explore the past, be in the present, and work towards a brighter future. I help you uncover and face negative patterns or beliefs that may be holding you back (even subconsciously). There is hope!
A path forward, towards a life you want to live, does exist. In our sessions, we’ll navigate your challenges and define what feeling better looks like for you. Therapy is different for everyone, so I work with you to individualize a productive plan that helps you to take the steps to have a more balanced life and to live more self-assured. Let’s get started!
Common Reasons to Start Therapy (to name a few):
Feeling detached, unmotivated, or overwhelmed
Anger or resentment
Feeling isolated
Feeling like you're on the verge of tears at inopportune moments; highly anxious
Burnout
Forming harmful habits to cope from past or present traumas
Getting feedback from loved ones about their concern for you
Unsure of the root cause regarding how you're feeling
What You Get Out of Therapy w/ Me:
A safe space that is inclusive and judgement free
Skills to boost emotional awareness and mood regulation
Honest feedback from a licensed professional
Productive sessions that give you insight into the root of the issue(s)
A steady and consistent resource for personal growth
Optional post-session notes available with reminders & reflections from our conversations (I know sometimes it's easy to forget what was discussed so the form is helpful!)
Some Bits about me…
I have a dog-daughter named Josie! She’s a 3 year old Micro Goldendoodle and is the apple of my eye! You might see her pop her head up in the zoom from time to time!
You will definitely see me with a different quirky mug everyday. If I could put an IV bag full of matcha in my veins, I would.
I’m originally from Delaware (parents were in the military so moved around a BUNCH) but spent most of my youth in Georgia. After 18 years, it’s safe to say that this is home now.
I absolutely love what I do! I feel like this career is a privilege! I get to walk alongside people that I admire and respect every single day.
