Specializes In:
Tristan Barney helps adults and seniors across Kentucky build practical skills to manage life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and improve overall emotional well-being through evidence-based mental health care at LifeStance Health. He provides a supportive, structured environment where individuals and couples can work through concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related stress, while gaining tools to navigate daily life with greater clarity and confidence.
His approach emphasizes collaboration and individualized care, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and couples counseling techniques. Tristan works with a diverse range of clients, including individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, first responders, and military or veteran populations, and he also offers support for additional concerns beyond his primary focus areas.
While Tristan does not focus on a single specialty area, he is committed to addressing the unique needs of each client, helping them explore patterns, build resilience, and create meaningful change. He offers both individual therapy and couples therapy, supporting clients through life transitions, emotional challenges, and relationship concerns with a balance of compassion and clinical expertise.
Tristan earned his doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from William James College and completed advanced clinical training across outpatient, community, and veteran-focused settings, giving him experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns.
Outside of his clinical work, Tristan enjoys going to the gym, walking his dog, cooking, and is a dedicated Harry Potter fan, bringing a grounded and approachable perspective to his work with clients.
