About Dr. Carla Barnes

I started my career as an educator over 25 years ago. I work as a mental health professional and a professional school counselor. I strongly believe self-care, mental health, nutrition, and wellness are instrumental in our quality of life. In addition to being a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor and certified school teacher, my qualifications include a master of science in nutrition and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) certification. I advocate for healthy living using a holistic approach to physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
