Dr. Tom Barbera earned his PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of New Mexico in 1997 and completed an internship with a specialization in Health Psychology at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas. He began his career as an Active Duty Air Force psychologist, serving at Eglin Air Force Base Hospital for four years and at the Hurlburt Field Behavioral Health Clinic for two years.

In 2001 he relocated to Indiana to join the St. Vincent Family Medicine Residency Faculty, and in 2019 he moved to Riverview Health in Noblesville to help the health system establish a Behavioral Care Clinic. He is a licensed psychologist in Indiana and brings 29 years of clinical experience to his practice.

Dr. Barbera provides evidence-based treatment for a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, chronic pain, diabetes self-management, obesity, and nicotine addiction. His approach emphasizes practical coping skills that help people manage symptoms and improve quality of life in a welcoming, relaxed, and compassionate setting.

Clients can expect between-session work such as symptom monitoring, reading and writing exercises, and practice of coping strategies. If a patient receives primary care within the Riverview Health system in Hamilton County, Indiana, Dr. Barbera is available – and required by his employment contract – to see them through the Behavioral Care Clinic.

He is also licensed to provide telehealth services through the PSYPACT agreement.
