Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

I am Dr. Kristina L. Barker, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Doctor of Marriage and Family Therapy at our Bowie, MD clinic.
I work with young to middle-aged adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, women’s issues, and self-esteem challenges using CBT, DBT, faith integration, and relational approaches.
I help clients better understand emotional patterns, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and build confidence. My approach is supportive, collaborative, and empowering, integrating mindset work, self-awareness, and practical coping tools to promote lasting growth and emotional wellness.
I believe healing begins when people feel seen, supported, and understood. I strive to create a safe and compassionate space where you can grow with confidence and hope. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and wellness.
