Barbara Mey , LMHC

Barbara Mey acts as a guide for people seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth. She provides a calm, peaceful space where individuals can explore their concerns, learn new coping skills, and take practical steps toward meaningful life goals. She adapts her counseling style to fit each person, using psychodynamic psychotherapy alongside cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients find approaches they are comfortable with.

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) - a credential that indicates advanced graduate training in mental health counseling. She holds a Master’s degree from Providence College and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study from Salve Regina University. Prior to joining Sheehan Psychotherapy, she worked at a substance abuse clinic providing group, individual, and family treatment, and she spent nearly ten years in a community mental health setting working with a wide range of people.

Her clinical background includes work with individuals living with mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, substance abuse, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. She has experience supporting people coping with low self-esteem, trauma recovery, relationship and family issues, life transitions, and codependency, including adult children of alcoholics or addicts as well as partners and family members affected by addiction. She places high value on a supportive, honest therapeutic relationship and strives to remain present, compassionate, and open-minded throughout the therapy process.
