About Dr. Barrett & New Dawn
About
Dr. Barrett
I am a Ph.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in the intersection of high-stakes performance, executive burnout, and complex life transitions. My clinical methodology completely moves away from traditional, open-ended "vent therapy" models that frequently entrench individuals in their symptoms or keep them marinating in their problems . Instead, I operate an active, specialty behavioral consultation model built exclusively for high-functioning adults, corporate leaders, and founders who want a structured, data-driven strategy to navigate reality effectively .
My foundational expertise is anchored in a deep, rigorous scientific background. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Mary’s College in Indiana before obtaining my Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology from the University of Wyoming. Throughout my extensive doctoral training and nearly a decade of independent practice, I have delivered advanced psychological care across an elite range of clinical ecosystems—including community mental health centers, specialized university clinics, private practices, and intensive telehealth programs.
Crucially, I completed my doctoral internship and spent years practicing as an outpatient psychologist within the complex, high-pressure environment of the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center healthcare system. Operating within multiple specialized clinics and hospital sectors allowed me to master the rapid deployment of evidence-based strategies for trauma integration, severe anxiety, and acute systemic stress.
Today, my private practice utilizes Customized Evidence-Based Process Therapy (CEBPT) . By drawing fluidly from clinical, social, developmental, and experimental psychology, I target the deep cognitive, emotional, and neurobiophysiological systems driving your current bottlenecks . Whether you are managing the unyielding pressure of a corporate vertical, navigating modern adult ADHD, or seeking to align your daily execution with core existential values, our work provides a safe, highly collaborative "sandbox" to practice the exact flexibility you need in the real world .
Because my practice is entirely virtual via PsyPact authorization, I provide premium, confidential, and seamless continuity of care across Texas, Florida, Utah, and 40+ states .
Therapy with me isn't about fitting you into a rigid box, nor is it about venting
aimlessly. My practice operates on a deliberate balance of core elements:
​
• Flexibility & Guidance: You steer the content; I guide the process.
​
• Your Experience & My Expertise: You are the expert on your life; I am the expert
on psychological strategy.
​
• Innovation & The Tried-and-True: We use modern, creative approaches grounded
in proven science.
​
• Flow & Structure: Sessions feel natural but always move toward a clear purpose.
​
• Compassion & Change: I will validate exactly where you are, while firmly pushing
you toward where you want to be.

About
Dr. Barrett's Practice
New Dawn Psychological Services does not operate on a traditional, generalist mental health model. This is an active, highly specialized behavioral consultation clinic engineered explicitly for motivated, high-achieving adults, corporate leaders, consultants, and founders who want an executive strategy to navigate reality effectively.
If you are looking for an expert-led behavioral model rather than passive, open-ended emotional venting, this clinic is designed to build the concrete systems, cognitive tools, and behavioral flexibility required to optimize your functional life. My practice operates on a deliberate balance of flexibility and clear clinical guidance. While you steer the specific operational content, I guide the psychological strategy based on proven science.
We exclusively utilize Customized Evidence-Based Process Therapy (CEBPT). Rather than chasing surface-level diagnostic labels, sorting through generic symptom lists, or marinating in past complaints, our sessions function as an active "Sandbox". Together, we run a precise behavioral diagnostic on the deep cognitive and neurobiophysiological systems that dictate your current performance bottlenecks, executive burnout, or adult ADHD presentation.
An Ideal Fit for This Practice:
-
Outcome-Focused Professionals: Individuals who view their time and energetic resources as a premium investment and expect a clear, time-limited therapeutic blueprint to carry them forward.
-
High-Velocity Execution: Leaders and high-performers navigating uncomfortable transitions, intense decision fatigue, or acute "boardroom vs. bedtime" context switching.
-
Commitment to Real-World Application: Clients who understand that sustainable functional health does not come from passive venting inside the room, but from collaborative, real-world behavioral experimentation between appointments.
