Making the first step is the hardest, but will always make the difference.

Origin’s Counseling Interns

  • Dan Barnhart

    I don’t like it.

    I don’t like that you’ve had to go through hard times in your life. I don’t like that you’ve had to endure diffi cult people and tough situations. I don’t like that you worry and that sometimes you’re afraid because you feel too much. Or maybe you don’t feel enough and wonder why. It’s a hard thing being human.

    But it's also pretty cool. And a lot of times, it’s really amazing. Let’s work together on getting your life closer to amazing.

    You’re likely looking for more than just a place to vent. You want real, lasting change. On the outside, things might look fi ne, but on the inside, you might feel stuck in your head, overwhelmed by big emotions, or caught in repetitive patterns that hold you back in life and relationships.

    I strive to create a warm, safe, and collaborative space where you can slow down, put words to your thoughts and feelings, and gain deeper insight. Healing isn't just about managing symptoms, it is a natural impulse, and I am here to help you reconnect to it.

    I believe that the ultimate point of life is to learn and to heal. I also believe that healing can be achieved in countless ways, but the best way is the one that works best for you, now and for the rest of your life.

    With a unique background spanning research, music, business and psychology, I bring a grounded, deeply human perspective to our sessions. I blend curiosity with practical insight and therapy approaches and modalities, to help you:

    ● Understand the patterns that keep you feeling stuck or out of control

    ● Navigate emotional weight, anxiety, and diffi cult life transitions

    ● Develop greater self-confi dence and self-compassion

    ● Build more authentic, fulfi lling relationships with yourself and others

    I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health at Adams State University and would be deeply honored to walk alongside you as you discover what true healing looks like on your own terms.

    And you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. When you’re ready, I’m here to support you.
