Find Support That Meets You Where You Are

THERAPY ISN’T ABOUT FIXING YOU.

It’s about walking with you as you remember who you’ve always been.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by relationship patterns, struggling to connect with your children, or carrying the weight of childhood wounds you’re just now beginning to understand—therapy can help you come home to yourself.

At The Way Therapy, we offer emotion-focused, trauma-informed support that honors your pace, your story, and your capacity for growth. You don’t have to journey alone anymore.

Here’s how we can walk the path together.

Individual Therapy

Parenting Support

Highly Sensitive Adults

Individual Therapy

A SPACE TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR INNER WORLD, ONE LAYER AT A TIME.

So many of us go through life feeling disconnected—from ourselves, our bodies, and the people we care about most. Maybe you've always felt like you're too much… or not enough. Maybe you’ve been performing for others for so long, you’re not sure who you are beneath the surface.

Individual therapy is a space where we make contact with what’s real—your pain, your strength, your unmet needs, your capacity to heal.

In our work together, we might explore:

Childhood or attachment wounds that still shape your relationships
Emotional patterns like people-pleasing, shutting down, or lashing out
Grief, shame, or self-doubt that’s been sitting quietly beneath the surface
Moments in your life when you felt alone, unseen, or misunderstood

We’ll move slowly and intentionally. You’ll never be pushed to go deeper than feels safe. This is your space—to feel, process, explore, and begin again.

You are not broken.
You are becoming.

"Therapy with me isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about showing up as you are, and discovering that’s more than enough."

Parenting Support

HEALING YOUR STORY SO YOU CAN PARENT WITH CLARITY, PRESENCE, AND GRACE.

You love your child deeply—and yet, parenting can bring up emotions you never expected. You may feel triggered, reactive, or ashamed of the way you respond. You may find yourself repeating patterns you swore you’d break. Or you might feel unsure how to connect with your child when your own childhood left you feeling unsupported or unseen.

Parenting support sessions give you a space to look inward—not to judge yourself, but to understand yourself. Together, we’ll explore how your own attachment history shows up in your parenting, and how to shift those patterns with gentleness and intention.

In this work, we might explore:

How to regulate your nervous system in moments of parenting overwhelm
Ways to build emotional safety and attunement with your child
Triggers rooted in your own childhood experience
Guilt, anger, fear, or confusion that’s hard to talk about elsewhere

You don’t have to be a perfect parent.
You just have to be present, reflective, and willing to grow.

"When you heal, your children benefit in ways that ripple through generations."

Therapy for Highly Sensitive Adults

YOUR SENSITIVITY IS NOT A FLAW. IT’S PART OF YOUR GIFT—WHEN YOU KNOW HOW TO WORK WITH IT.

If you feel things deeply, notice subtle shifts in tone or energy, and often feel overwhelmed by the world around you—you might be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). While sensitivity is a trait, not a diagnosis, it’s often misunderstood by others and even by ourselves.

You may have grown up hearing that you were too sensitive, too emotional, or too intense. As a result, you might struggle with overstimulation, chronic self-doubt, or a harsh inner critic.

In therapy for HSPs, we’ll work together to understand and embrace your sensitivity—not as something to manage or hide, but as a beautiful part of who you are.

We may focus on:

Identifying overstimulation triggers and learning how to self-soothe
Setting boundaries without guilt
Reframing sensitivity as strength
Understanding how emotional intensity is tied to empathy and intuition
Exploring how your past shaped your relationship with emotions and needs

This space is designed for quiet strength, thoughtful exploration, and deep emotional resonance. No part of you is too much here.

"Your sensitivity doesn’t need fixing. It needs a home—and a path forward."

Meet Christina

Hi, I’m Christina Barnes (she/her), founder of The Way Therapy. I’m not here to heal you.

I’m here to hold space for the healing that’s already unfolding within you.

As a trauma-informed, emotion-focused therapist, I believe in the power of presence, curiosity, and coregulation. I work with adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, heal with intention, and finally feel seen not just by others, but by themselves.

My approach is collaborative and intuitive. You’ll never be asked to rush your process. I’ll walk alongside you, offering support and reflection, as you begin to write a new story for yourself.

SAY HELLO

I don’t believe in surface-level fixes or quick solutions.

I believe in the power of slowing down, tuning in, and creating space for what’s real.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can bring your full self—without shame, pressure, or pretense. A space where your story is honored, your emotions are respected, and your pace is never rushed.

I believe:

Your story is sacred. There’s no one else with your lived experience. I won’t try to fit you into a mold—I’ll meet you exactly where you are.
Healing happens in connection. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. When we feel safe with another person, new ways of being become possible.
You don’t need to be “ready” to start. You just need to be open to noticing. I’ll guide you gently, offering insight and reflection when you’re ready.
You already have the wisdom inside you. My role is to help you uncover it—not by giving you answers, but by helping you hear your own voice again.
