Meet Gwendolyn Barnhart
Licensed Psychologist & Autism Specialist. Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Provider
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with broad experience working with people of all ages. I specialize in supporting those with autism, developmental and intellectual disabilities, and serious mental health issues. My services include therapy, psychological assessments, and diagnostic support tailored to each individual's needs. I focus on creating an inclusive environment for special education and reasonable accommodations.
My therapy approach is personalized, blending techniques like narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. I also offer telehealth services for easy access and include animal-assisted interventions at my therapy farm during certain months, enhancing the healing process through nature.
In our sessions, you can expect a supportive space where you'll explore and grow. My aim is to help you understand your values and navigate life's challenges confidently. Through our work, you'll feel more connected and ready to take on life with a clear sense of purpose.

My philosophy
Treatment Philosophy:
I believe in a patient-centered approach that respects each individual’s unique story and experiences. My focus lies in creating compassionate connections, especially with those facing autism, developmental challenges, and mental health issues. I utilize engaging methods like play therapy and animal-assisted interventions to foster healing and growth. Collaboration with patients, families, and multidisciplinary teams is key. Together, we’ll tackle obstacles, enhance life skills, and promote resilience. I am committed to supporting vulnerable populations and advocating for their needs. My goal is to empower every person I work with to lead fulfilling lives and embrace their potential.
