Barry Parker

Barry Parker is a Christian husband, father and animal lover who brings 27 years of professional experience to his work as a therapist in Indiana. He is licensed in Indiana as an LCSW-C - Indiana Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Clinical, license number 34004674A, and offers practical, straightforward care grounded in decades of practice.

Barry has experience helping people with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career matters, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. He has worked with children as young as 5, with teenagers, and with adults up to age 107.

Barry believes the individual is the expert on their own story and focuses on refining, defining and developing existing and new tools to help clients face life’s challenges. He maintains an easygoing approach, avoiding clinical jargon and speaking with clients as he would with anyone else, using his skills to connect the dots and make sense of what is happening in a person’s life.

Because of personal trauma, Barry is not a good fit for the LGBT+ community. He does not accept cases with active court involvement or child abuse cases that have DFC involvement.

At home he cares for three dogs, four cats, chickens and rabbits, and he often closes conversations with a welcoming note - he says he will “leave the light on.” He identifies as a male, older, conservative therapist and aims to support clients who are seeking a more fulfilling and happier life.
