Dr. Justin Barker is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a private practice in Los Angeles, California. He is the co-author of The MindBody Workbook, Volume Two and the co-creator of The MindBody Healing Journey online video course, both with Dr. David Schechter. He is a regular contributor on Curable. Dr. Barker experienced four years of chronic back pain and was subsequently healed utilizing a neuroplastic recovery approach. His psychotherapy practice focuses on helping people heal from neuroplastic symptoms through addressing underlying fear, anxiety, sadness, guilt, anger, and other strong emotions. Additionally, Dr. Barker utilizes behavioral strategies to help people resume living the life they want. Because clients with neuroplastic pain are usually self-critical, Dr. Barker approaches therapy and health coaching with kindness, compassion, and warmth. Dr. Barker has specialties in treating people with co-occurring obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and pain, as well as a special interest in how people-pleasing fuels pain.
