Barbara McNamara

Resident In Counseling

Independent Contractor, Roanoke Valley Counseling Center, LLC

Barbara is passionate about helping individuals recognize their inner strength and discover their ability to truly thrive, not just survive. As an integrative therapist, she uses a holistic, biopsychosocial–spiritual approach to uncover the root causes of challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions. Barbara believes that real healing requires treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—so you can move beyond symptoms and gain clarity about your story, your experiences, and your path forward.

In therapy, Barbara partners with you to build resilience by combining evidence-based therapies, mindfulness practices, and practical lifestyle strategies. Her approach is especially helpful for individuals seeking trauma-informed care, stress management, emotional regulation, and personal growth.

Barbara strives to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. She would be honored to walk with you on your healing journey as you become the healthiest and most authentic version of yourself.
