Sem Barnes, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida
Warmest greetings to you! My name is Semone Barnes, but I often go by “Sem” for short. I am INCREDIBLY passionate about faith and personal wellness! I believe in the power of the Holy Spirit and God as being the ultimate source that drives our healing, strength, and trajectory of our lives. Through my personal journey, as well as in those I have counseled, I have been incredibly humbled by the transformations and progress made with the help of these “higher hands” and the hard, yet rewarding work put in by the client. While I know that seeking help, especially in a therapeutic manner, may feel overwhelming or even uncomfortable, I am excited that you have decided to take a step anyway!
I primarily focus on working with women in life transitions, and specifically feeling stuck relationally. Some of the challenges women work with me on are gaining self worth and value, healing from unwanted unwanted memories, trauma, depression/anxiety, and intimate partner violence. Know that I am here to support you, regardless of where you are! Please feel free to reach out to inquire about the next steps.
