Barbara Woods Barnes

Barbara Woods Barnes is a Jungian analyst and psychotherapist with a private practice in Saint Augustine, Florida. A native Texan, she was schooled in California and trained in Florida. Her clinical training has included Grief Recovery, Sandplay, Trauma, EMDR, and Addictions, all layered onto a deep Jungian foundation. She is one of the few IAAP-certified analysts practicing in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine corridor.

Barbara's approach draws on the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, whose depth psychology seeks to facilitate a conversation with the unconscious energies that move through each of us. Her work addresses the past, present, and potential future by increasing embodied awareness of repeated life patterns, dreams, and important images. Painful suffering and traumatic experiences can be approached and transformed through this process, and during the second half of life, analysis can help clients explore where they have been and what wisdom they have gained.

In her free time, Barbara is an enthusiastic horsewoman, nature enthusiast, music lover, and quilter. She considers it her life's work and honor to accompany clients through their inner journey, helping them find meaning in life's ups and downs and achieve peace of mind and healing.
