What other services does Dr. Barnhart offer?

I’m a relationship coach and have been a licensed psychologist for nearly 30 years, helping couples move from disconnection to deeper intimacy. Whether you’re in the early stages of commitment, navigating parenting stress, or adjusting to the empty nest, I guide couples through stuck patterns using my signature Harmony Method, a practical, compassionate approach I designed to help partners communicate clearly, manage conflict, and reconnect emotionally.

I work with:
✔️ Premarital and newly committed couples
✔️ Parents feeling overwhelmed or disconnected
✔️ Long-term partners seeking to repair trust or rekindle closeness
✔️ Empty nesters adjusting to the next chapter

Thanks to PsyPact authorization, I can now provide secure online couples therapy in 42 states. This means:

• If you or your partner lives in a different state (or travels often), we can still work together
• If you’ve moved but want continuity of care, you don’t need to start over
• If you’ve been looking for experienced couples support and haven’t found the right fit locally, I may be able to help
