Welcome to Barton Counseling Services
“Life is simply better when we are with others, and worse when we are isolated”. — Dr. John Townsend, co-author of Boundaries
At Barton Counseling Services, connection matters. Building a relationship with you that makes you feel heard and understood, is my priority. It is through this relationship that we will build a space that feels safe enough to explore the roots of your emotional responses and ensuing behaviors to identify the missing relational nutrients that leave you feeling unfulfilled. Together we will create a secure and non-judgmental environment where we will tailor your therapy sessions to suit your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and holistic approach to your healing journey.

We are not meant to feel alone.
It is not by chance or accident that you are visiting this site. Perhaps you are feeling hurt, misunderstood, unnoticed, or lonely. Whatever the reason for the visit, I'm glad that you are here. The therapy space is certainly a place to learn skills to manage big emotions. More than that though, it is a connection point. It is a place to feel seen, heard, and understood. Standing at this connection point with you is a privilege. To set up appointments, please click on Book Now below, or send an email to nancy@bartoncounselingaz.com.
Relational Nutrients
We can learn to trust others and feel ok. (Attachment)
We can be different from others and feel ok. (Separation)
We can disappoint others and feel ok. (Integration)
We can say, “no,” and feel ok. (Adulthood)
Just like plants need nutrients to grow and thrive, so do you! In our time together, we will identify the missing nutrients in various areas of your life. We will begin a process of learning how to pay attention to your emotions and subsequent behaviors. You will then learn to identify the roots of the emotion so that you can react and behave in the way that you want to. We will work within the construct of four main character structures: Attachment (how we connect with others), Separation (how we identify where we start and end and others start and end), Integration (balancing both the good and bad in life), and Adulthood (identifying our own authority and acting with autonomy).
