About
Tanadja Barber is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri who works with adults and couples across a range of relational and life-change concerns. With eight years of clinical experience, she focuses on LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting questions, and navigating significant transitions. Her practice aims to create space for exploration of identity, roles, and emotional patterns without assuming a single path forward.
Barber integrates creative methods with verbal therapy to help people access feelings when words may be limited. She draws on art-based work alongside existential, cognitive behavioral, relational-cultural, and DBT-informed mindfulness strategies to support reflection, boundary setting, and shifts in self-understanding. Artmaking is offered as an optional tool for expression and insight rather than a requirement.
In sessions she attends to how culture, relationships, and systemic pressures shape emotional experience. People seeking assistance with managing expectations, family tension, caregiving stress, or the strain of being misunderstood may find a collaborative environment for examining painful patterns and identifying practical steps that fit their life.

Online sessions with creative and skills-based options
Barber offers remote sessions that combine expressive techniques and skill-building strategies. She may invite optional artmaking as a way to explore feelings and patterns when talking alone does not feel enough. Art activities are presented as flexible tools for reflection rather than assignments.
Her work also incorporates cognitive behavioral elements to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking, along with DBT-informed mindfulness practices to build moment-to-moment regulation and stress tolerance. These approaches can be adapted in conversation or paired with brief exercises during sessions.
People who prefer collaborative, practice-oriented sessions may find this mix helpful for addressing relationship concerns, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and transitions. Remote appointments are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different communication preferences.
