Hello. My name is Lisa Barnes. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner. I have 21 years of experience providing mental health services. I'm excited to have started my private practice, Fall Forward LLC, in 2020. My focus is to help guide my clients through the process of healing with the use of acceptance, mindfulness, values clarification and a loving and compassionate stance.
I spent 11 years working as a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) specialist at the Department of Veterans Affairs in Grand Island. I have developed a passion for treating clients who have experienced trauma. I specialize in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and borderline personality disorder.
My desire is to help individuals move beyond their pain and suffering and enable them to live a meaningful life. As Denzel Washington said, "Fall forward; Sometimes, it's the best way to figure out where you're going. Never be discouraged, never hold back, give everything you got, and when you fall throughout life remember this: FALL FORWARD.
