I specialize in anxiety and ADHD and use mindfulness to help you find wellness from within - Using a holistic approach to healing can help you to tap into your natural ability to find meaning in your struggles. I will help you better understand your pain, your conflicts and your mental health and teach you how to use coping skills that work.

Meet Bruce Barrett
Psychotherapist
Therapy weaves life into the fabric of our stories. We may seem rootless, but our roots spread far and wide. We struggle to make sense of our wonders, worries, and wanderings; our adventures. I love deeply those adventures. Narrative Therapy (Dulwich style) cultivates awareness, wisdom, and meaning in your life, and in the lives of others. It encourages vigorous authority over our unfolding narratives. I bring lived experience to our shared tasks of healing and finding - healing the aching, anger, anxiety and fear; finding new meaning, vigor, pride, and hope. I believe that our growing sense of fellowship, adventure, and even duty rekindles our hearts to both meaningful purpose and priceless perspective. We thrive when we find each other again, regardless of the time passed.

Why Psychotherapy?
Your whole life could change.
At Duxbury Counseling we use traditional methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy along with nontraditional approaches such as mindfulness to accomplish the deepest level of healing possible. We believe that the mind, body and spirit can be viewed as one unit working in harmony and seeking integration and balance. We provide a safe and comfortable environment to work with clients, one in which we uncover conflicts, process trauma, depression and anxiety. We will work together to come up with useful tools to improve daily functioning and find happiness.
