About Us
About Barber Mental Health Associates
At Barber Mental Health Associates, we believe therapy works best when it feels personal. We’re a small, in-house team of licensed counselors and social workers who truly care about helping people feel heard, supported, and understood. Every clinician is hand-selected and meets regularly with our leadership to make sure you’re getting consistent, high-quality care.
What started as one counselor’s mission to meet Northwest Indiana’s growing mental health needs has now grown into a practice that has helped over 1000 clients and families find hope and healing.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship struggles, or life transitions, we meet you where you are—offering practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a safe space to work through life’s challenges.
Our Backstory
Barber Mental Health Associates started because there simply weren’t enough mental health practitioners in Northwest Indiana—or across the state. People were waiting too long for help, and we wanted to change that.
While working for someone else, founder Philip Barber, LMHC, NCC, felt limited to helping the 40–50 clients on his caseload. Opening BMHA meant reaching more people by building a team of trusted clinicians and collaborating with other providers in the community.
We don’t see other practices as competition—there’s too much need for that. From day one, our goal has been to work together to meet the mental health needs of our community.
