Counselor Bio
Barrett Brackett, M.A.
Barrett Brackett is a master's-level Christian counselor offering biblically-based, trauma-informed, gospel-centered care. It is her joy to come alongside others as a compassionate witness to their stories, meeting them with honesty, gentleness, and care. She is deeply committed to walking with people as they make sense of their shame, sin, and suffering within the context of their story, creating space for healing, deeper freedom, renewed purpose, and a more wholehearted presence with God and with others. As a survivor of traumatic loss and foster-adoptive mom of neurodivergent children, Barrett brings hard-won wisdom from the school of life. Her insights reflect both professional training and personal experience, offering care that is deeply empathetic and biblically rooted.
