Miranda Barker, MS, LPC

I specialize in working with couples who are ready to move beyond surface-level communication skills and get to the heart of what's really happening between them. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, the wounds that continue to show up in your relationship, and the changes needed to create a deeper, more connected partnership. My approach is honest, compassionate, and direct, I believe growth happens when we feel both supported and challenged.

Do you feel alone in your relationship? Do you love your partner but can't stop fighting? Relationships can be one of the greatest sources of joy in our lives, and one of the greatest sources of pain. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, stuck in the same argument over and over, struggling to rebuild trust after a betrayal, or wondering how you ended up feeling so alone in a relationship, you don't have to keep repeating the same painful cycle.

I also work with individuals who find themselves repeating painful relationship patterns, struggling with self-worth, people-pleasing, anxiety, trauma, or difficulty trusting themselves. Many of my clients are highly self-aware and know why they do what they do, but still find themselves reacting in ways they wish they could change. Therapy can help bridge the gap between insight and lasting transformation.

You can expect me to show up as a real person in the room, warm, authentic, engaged, and invested in your growth. I believe healing happens when we feel truly seen, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. My goal is to help you build stronger relationships, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and create a life that feels more connected, intentional, and fulfilling.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I'd be honored to walk alongside you in the process.
