About

Katie Barr, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Carlsbad's Village district holding California Board of Behavioral Sciences license LCS20913. A graduate of UCSD and San Diego State University's 1996 MSW cohort, Barr brings more than 20 years of clinical experience across residential treatment, outpatient programs, school-based counseling, victim-of-crime advocacy, and Department of Defense behavioral health, a continuum of care that intersects with palliative support at Hospice of the North Coast. Barr's practice specializes in crisis intervention, addiction, mood disorders, parenting conflicts, and adolescent behavioral issues using cognitive-behavioral therapy and family-systems frameworks. She has provided clinical supervision to fellow therapists and practicum interns for more than a decade, training the next generation of North County clinicians. Referral coordination extends to senior-care settings, including communities such as Carlsbad By The Sea Retirement Community, where geriatric mental-health support complements on-site residential programming. Assessment and diagnosis services cover DSM-5 mood-spectrum, anxiety-spectrum, and substance-use disorders through individual, couples, and family modalities delivered in-person and via HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
