Philicia Barbieri

Philicia Barbieri is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a client-centered, humanistic perspective to clinical work. She also holds training as a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor and integrates an existential stance that honors each person’s capacity to craft meaning. Over a decade of practice, she has supported people through addiction recovery, trauma, and major life transitions using trauma-informed methods and structured therapeutic tools.

Her approach blends EMDR for processing stuck or distressing memories with cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing to help clients identify patterns and set achievable goals. Mindfulness, meditation, and yoga-inspired grounding frequently appear in sessions as practical skills for emotional regulation and increased self-awareness. She offers individual and relationship counseling for adults and couples dealing with challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, grief, and life changes.

Philicia completed a Master’s in Professional Counseling and has experience in crisis counseling, community-based settings, and group work. She aims to create a calm and attentive space where clients can explore values, rebuild internal stability, and move toward the changes they want to make.
