Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Dr. Ozella Barnes, Psy.D
Greetings Beautiful People... I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 25 years of direct service experience helping people who have experienced significant pain and trauma in their lives. I describe myself as a straight talk, no chaser kind of clinician who uses compassion with honesty to help confront the difficult things that keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns in our lives.
The goal is to heal from the inside out... gaining insight and understanding to help you develop skills to achieve the long term growth and change you want to achieve in your life. I understand that life can be messy and I'm here to help!
In addition to my clinical experience, I am also a civil rights advocate for marginalized populations, including the elderly and LGBTQ. I have a solid educational foundation and a passion for working with people who have experienced out of home care (i.e. residential and group homes, emergency shelters and crisis care), as well as those in underserved and impoverished communities. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology (2004) and Master's in Clinical Psychology (1996) both from Wheaton College.
