Brenda Barrow, MSWI

Brenda is a therapist intern in her final year of the Master of Clinical Social Work program at Brigham Young University. Having previously received her Bachelor’s degree in Recreational Therapy and Youth Leadership, she worked for many years as a recreational therapist and recreational and experiential director in several different treatment settings. Her experience includes helping individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, mood disorders, trauma, betrayal trauma, self-harm, and attachment. She also has experience working with neurodiverse populations, implementing ABA therapy to support clients in achieving their goals.

Brenda believes everyone deserves to have a safe place to share their story and feel seen and heard. She finds joy in accompanying her clients on their journey of self-discovery and healing by utilizing evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). With her work rooted in mindfulness, self-compassion, connection, and empowerment, Brenda guides her clients to explore, identify, liberate, reclaim, build, heal, and move towards a fulfilling life.

In her free time, Brenda enjoys painting, photography, mountain biking, canyoneering, camping, and hiking with her dog.
