Discovery Psychotherapy Center

Name of Primary Practitioner
Dr. Christopher Barker, PhD
Business Description

Guiding Principle

Our practice is focused on the voyage of discovery.  We facilitate clients discovering “what is okay about themselves” and not to focus on a constellation of problems.  This journey sorts through the parade of events that shaped who we’ve become to understand what we might leave behind.

Alternative lifestyles are not often understood, and the counseling field still often views this as a pathology when it may in fact be the only stable part of one’s life. Nuances created by alternative lifestyles may not fit traditional molds of what we view as mental health. It’s always about creating “your best life.”
