Wanda Barnes

Wanda Barnes is a licensed clinician with fifteen years of professional experience working in both Florida and Maine. She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and supports people managing mood disorders, addiction concerns, and a broad range of relationship and family issues. Her work includes assistance with bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma related to domestic violence, grief, parenting challenges, and concerns related to eating and body image.

Her approach centers on listening and creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. She combines structured techniques with a collaborative stance, drawing on cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness skills, and solution-focused strategies alongside trauma-focused work. Wanda pays attention to patterns that affect communication, coping, and emotional regulation and partners with clients to identify practical steps forward.

Wanda also accepts clients who speak English or Romanian and works with families, couples, and individuals facing transitions such as adoption and foster care, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and divorce. Prospective clients are invited to take an initial step toward change by completing a brief matching questionnaire to determine fit.
