Destinee Barker, LCSW, PMH-C

Are you feeling overwhelmed by pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, or the many transitions of life? Have you been feeling overwhelmed by stress, grief, or chronic illness? Struggling to cope with feeling down, scary thoughts, or anxiety? Perhaps you and your partner are experiencing infidelity, feel stuck, disconnected, or face communication challenges. Or hey, maybe you’re just really freaking tired from carrying it all.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) Tennessee & Texas therapist offering compassionate, trauma-informed therapy through virtual appointments. I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, including pregnancy, infertility, new parent transitions, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.

I also support adults, teens, and couples experiencing anxiety, OCD, chronic illness, grief, depression, trauma, life transitions, identity or relationship challenges.

Virtual therapy is available statewide for clients located anywhere in Tennessee & Texas, including Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, Houston, Austin and beyond. No matter what you are facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy can be a place to breathe, reflect, share humor, and start again. Let’s plant the seeds of healing and help you bloom within.
