Marriage & Family Therapy – The Integral Therapist
Carla Barrow, JD, LMFT, operates The Integral Therapist, a South Florida mental health practice with offices at 2419 E Commercial Blvd, Suite 203, in Fort Lauderdale, and 1776 N. Pine Island Road, Suite 318, in Plantation. Barrow holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential as well as a Juris Doctor, bringing a legal background to her clinical work with clients navigating relationship and emotional challenges.
Services offered include couples counseling, premarital couples therapy, trauma counseling, depression counseling, anxiety counseling, skills training groups, and EMDR therapy. Couples work is a central specialty of the practice, with a focus on conflict resolution, communication improvement, and affair recovery. The practice uses the Gottman Method as a framework for couples interventions, and Barrow holds Levels 1 through 3 Clinical Training certification in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as certification in the Gottman Relationship Checkup assessment tool.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is described on the website as a modality that addresses emotional processing in the right brain while engaging the logical left brain, used in the context of trauma and PTSD treatment. Skills training groups are offered to help clients develop emotional awareness and regulation capacity.
Barrow is a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and holds an affiliation with the Florida Society of Clinical Hypnosis. The practice is also verified on Psychology Today. Sessions are conducted in person at both the Fort Lauderdale and Plantation office locations, giving South Florida clients access to the practice from two Broward County locations. Intake forms are provided for completion in advance of an initial session, streamlining the onboarding process for new clients.
The practice is accepting new clients. Premarital therapy is also listed as a distinct service, separate from general couples counseling, reflecting the practice’s breadth within relationship-focused work. Specific insurance plans accepted and telehealth availability are not detailed on the homepage. Contact: (954) 247-8120; CarlaBarrow@TheIntegralTherapist.com.
