Dr. Jane Barton is a licensed psychologist who has worked in the mental health field since the early 1990s. Born and raised in Tulsa, she received her doctorate in psychology from Oklahoma State University, but the beauty of the Smoky Mountains and an internship at the University of Tennessee drew her to Knoxville. Her compassionate approach with clients emphasizes empowerment, emotional healing, cognitive/behavioral change, and assisting others to reclaim meaning in their lives. She has special training and experience in treating substance abuse issues, eating disorders, adult survivors of sexual abuse and/or sexual trauma, family and couples counseling and women's issues. Another area of specialty is helping families cope with a loved one who has an addiction but seems unwilling or unable to change. She also works with people on issues of anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and a variety of other concerns. Dr. Barton sees both adults and adolescents.

Dr. Barton believes in the adage, "Change your mind and change your life." She believes that changing how we think can be healing and can eliminate the roadblocks to one's hopes and dreams. Dr. Barton enjoys being a guide and a partner in the process of changing old, negative thought patterns and helping clients find meaning and purpose in their lives.
