Dr. Barnes' Philosophy of Wellness
“When Needs Are Met, Relationships Flourish."
This is the foundation of our belief --- our client's mental health, spiritual health, and physical health needs are of the utmost importance for experiencing a balanced life. The "whole person" must be treated, empowering the individual to achieve maximum happiness with the choices they make. Our success is defined by how well we serve others and help individuals, families, and groups get their health needs met with a variety of therapies, a holistic approach!.

Our team is committed to meeting those needs, tailoring the therapeutic modality(ies) treatment planning protocol to the individual's therapy using a holistic (whole-person) model of wellness, as founded in homeopathy by Samuel Hahnemann and Constantine Herring. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the globally accepted work of Albert Ellis, its father, and other therapeutic modalities are utilized to provide a balanced holistic therapeutic approach to mental health.
Clinical diagnoses are based on the criteria as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-V). More than 70% of our clients come to us as referrals from pediatric physicians, schools, and individual word-of-mouth.

Cultural diversity, gender diversity, and a leader who for 46 yrs h​as made the needs of others his mission has resulted in a holistic coun​seling services agency for local and international communities.
BHCTI is a holistic counseling agency for the global community. Many of our counselors speak multiple languages and have lived and worked in North America, South America, Eastern, and Western Europe, the Philippines, and Africa. We have a healthy worldview and a strong appreciation for people and cultures around the globe. "And He (GOD) made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. Acts 17:26 (Amplified Bible)
We do consider and understand the special needs of persons with physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. Our holistic counseling professionals work closely with medical professionals to ensure we are treating the root causes of the presenting problem(s) not a symptom approach which according to the Journal for American Medical Association (JAMA) yields only a 17% accurate diagnostic rate in doctors' offices.

At Barnes Holistic Counseling Therapies Institute (BHCTI)
The client is viewed as a spiritual being created in the awesome image of GOD, as we know and understand Him.
The client is seen as a human being with spiritual, emotional, psychological/mental, biopsychosocial, physical, educational, financial/socio-economical, and intellectual needs that influence their capacity to adjust to environmental conditions and often facilitates or inhibits connections and bonding with others.
The client is a physical being that must be nurtured, respected, and cared for holistically (spirit, mind, & body) in order to have a healthy expression in life. The spirit, mind, and body frequently experience emotional trauma, physical injury, organic degeneration, infection, and/or insult as a result of deprivation, genetics, negative life experiences, negative self-talk, low self-esteem, neglect, unmet needs, and present as organic deterioration and degenerative processes.
We view all these processes as connected and must be treated in totality in order for the person to return to a balanced state of homeostasis which we refer to as wellness.
GET HELP and discover the reason holistic counseling and wellness therapeutic modalities are replacing traditional medicine worldwide. People are tired of being medicated, feeling drugged, becoming addicted, and/or suffering from negative side effects of prescription drugs! Help yourself or a family member you know who is stuck in prescription drug dependency, abuse, and/or addiction. Discover the power of resonance frequency & energy therapy, Bach flower essences & other homeopathic remedies. There is a wholesome alternative WELLNESS approach that works! There is a place for allopathic medicine, however, its place is not to tell the well-educated public they don't know how they feel or what they should have the freedom to have access to. Receive a TMS (transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) referral for persons suffering from long-term depression, autism, and bone regeneration therapy. It works! I would not recommend this treatment if I had not had it myself or witnessed the amazing results of a pain-free advanced technology approved by the FDA, Medicare, and the Veterans Administration.
21st Century Healing and Wellness for the WHOLE person.
"No matter the illness, infirmity, affliction, predisposition, or disease state, let us help you improve your quality of life. With GOD, all things are possible, and with cognitive-behavioral therapy, homeopathy, a complementary alternative approach to wellness, and by applying multiple disciplines to wellness, the impossible is being achieved naturally or in combination with low-dose pharmacological approaches and without side-effects every day." - Bishop Dr. W. T. Barnes, PhD., DD, LHD
