Transforming Lives...

After more than four decades of clinical service Kathy has stepped away from private practice and the office of Kathy Barr Counseling & Consulting concluded operations in 2025.

During those years of service, Kathy specialized in helping clients navigate and prevail through difficult life transitions. Kathy saw older teens, young adults, adults, parents, families, executives, and retirees. Regardless of age or circumstance of her clients, Kathy’s work reflected her firm belief that human beings have an amazing capacity to learn, change and heal.

Kathy’s practice was dedicated to serving individuals, families, and organizations in the Greater Charlotte Metropolitan area and beyond.
