hello there.

I’m Emily Rose Barr (she/her), Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). Whether this is your first time in therapy or you have worked with a therapist in the past, you are welcome here. At A Soul Awake Psychotherapy, LLC, I work with women in their mid-20s to mid-40s whose lives have gotten a bit off kilter.

Resilient, bright, determined women.

Fatigued, stressed, and anxious women.

Women who need a reminder of who they are beneath their carefully polished exteriors.

I know what it’s like to hide behind the pretenses of perfectionism and people-pleasing; to appraise yourself based on the opinions of others; to take on the emotions of loved ones without paying enough attention to your own, But I also know what it’s like to lead from a self-affirming space, one in which you can honor your needs and live by your values.

Throughout our work together, I’ll invite you to come as you are, not as who others demand you to be. I will always ask how you’re doing, how you’re really doing, and sit with you as you find your voice.

You’ll learn how to accept your experience while quieting self-judgment, and replace thoughts of inadequacy with a balanced understanding of who you are and who you are working toward becoming.

A reminder that they are whole because of their flaws and failures, not in spite of them.

During my time with Emily, she created a safe space to work through some of my challenges. She perfectly balanced empathetically meeting me where I was and gently challenging me to reframe negative thoughts. She provided great tools and resources to help me learn more about myself and find greater self-love. Emily is the reason I encourage all my loved ones to participate in therapy!
SAMANTHA M. | CLIENT
From the beginning, Emily took great care in listening to me and was able to hone in on what I was saying versus what was underlying. She challenged me to view things from different angles, allowing me to build a robust toolbox I continuously turn to while navigating life. I am grateful for her support.
STACY P. | CLIENT
I’ve been in counseling with Emily for over 2 years. Though I came to her with a specific issue in mind, she not only helped me address that concern, but many others related to anxiety, family, career, and my romantic relationship. I’ve found her to be a caring and encouraging presence who helps me reframe thoughts, gain new insights, and identify specific strategies to address different patterns and issues. She supports and respects my values and has done it all from a virtual environment.

With a number of diets dictating how much, how often, and what we should eat, it can be difficult to distinguish ingredients our bodies need to thrive from those that leave us feeling drained, imbalanced, or even depressed.
