Barbara Carson has 30 years of experience in child welfare, juvenile court clinics, and community mental health. She has provided consultation and training to staff around childrens' protective service issues, and also has run support groups for daycare providers caring for abused and neglected children. With MFCS since 1991, her work is now primarily focused around individual adults and couples. Her specialty areas are mood and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, relationship issues and adjustment to life changes. Her approach is to help clients use their own strengths and insights to deepen an understanding of themselves and their relationships, and to change those damaging thoughts and beliefs that have prevented them from achieving a desired quality of life.
