Dr. Barimany’s approach combines mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and modern research on consciousness development to re-balance psychological dispositions and expand one’s capacity to apply novel approaches to recurring problems. Having been trained as a family therapist, she conceptualizes adult development through the lens of the family system. She also integrates EMDR to help clients process formative experiences that impact current functioning as a way of working with traumas that are beyond the reach of normal talk therapy. And since everyone needs some motivation and accountability from time to time, Dr. Barimany pulls from her background as a competitive athlete to help coach clients when they need a little push in their career, their relationships, or with self-development. She describes her style as “forward leaning” — meaning, she likes to get everyone working hard from the very first meeting.

Dr. Barimany specializes in working with emerging adults, couples, and mental health professionals seeking their own therapy. Much of her work also centers on training counseling residents and mentoring therapists professionally via the Junior Associate program. Dr. Barimany has taught at the George Washington University, Northwestern University, the Johns Hopkins University, Hood College, and the University of Utah.

Frog Point Therapy the result of marrying her two passions and areas of expertise: clinical treatment and counselor education.
