Annette Barton

Annette Barton, an accomplished clinical social worker and therapist, believes that every individual possesses the capability to overcome challenges and adversities. She understands that stress and difficult life situations can leave people feeling unbalanced, making it challenging for them to access their inner strength and resources. In her practice, she collaborates with clients to help them access their inner wisdom and regain their sense of balance. Annette is dedicated to empowering her clients through a process that requires great courage — seeking assistance in a safe, nonjudgmental environment that is crucial for exploring personal challenges and facilitating life transformation. She employs a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual's unique situation, ranging from in-depth psychotherapy to short-term, situation-specific interventions based on client needs. Utilizing cognitive behavioral interventions, psychoeducation, insight-oriented techniques, psychodynamic strategies, and ego-supportive methods, Annette provides a comprehensive therapeutic experience. Additionally, she incorporates EMDR and other power therapies when addressing trauma and phobias. Recognizing that many individuals suppress their pain, she encourages her clients to express their feelings, which is essential for reclaiming emotional strength. Her approach empowers clients to take ownership of their lives, transforming from feeling like victims of circumstances to becoming balanced and centered creators of their own journeys.
