About

I’m Judy Barnes, LPC BCC— a dedicated therapist and board-certified coach passionate about helping individuals and couples heal from addiction, relational trauma, and sexual health struggles. My approach blends cutting-edge research with deep empathy and is rooted in relational-psychobiological theory, adult attachment, developmental psychology, interpersonal neurobiology, and spirituality.

​

In my work supporting recovery from sex addiction and ongoing infidelity, I recognized that many traditional treatment models focus solely on individual healing — often encouraging partners to work essentially apart. I believe healing together is often a more powerful path. That’s why I offer relationship-focused intensives and couples work grounded in a framework that honours both individual and relational transformation.

Drawing on years of intensive study and practice in adult attachment, addiction, trauma, and couples work, I integrate evidence-based treatments such as NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model), John Gottman-informed methods, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CSAT-Candidate, and the Partner-Centered Recovery and Intimacy Anorexia models. I bring specialized training in relational trauma and sexual health recovery, offering a nuanced, compassionate lens for both individuals and couples.
