Theresa Barker, MFT

Registered Marriage & Family Therapist

I’ve been working with families navigating separation, divorce, and co-parenting for more than 20 years. My focus is always on supporting children’s best interests while helping parents find healthier ways forward in very difficult circumstances. I bring compassion and clarity to situations where emotions run high and relationships are strained.

Over the years, I’ve developed deep experience in complex custody evaluations, especially around estrangement, parental alienation, and situations where conflict feels overwhelming. I continue to train in areas such as domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and personality disorders, because I believe clients deserve care informed by the latest research and grounded in evidence-based practice.

In addition to my clinical work, I provide reports, assessments, and expert testimony that give families and courts clear, balanced insights. Whether I’m meeting with a child, sitting down with parents, or preparing an evaluation, my goal is the same: to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and help families find a path that prioritizes stability and healing.
