Hello

I believe therapy is both a place for healing and a place for transformation. My passion lies in helping young people and families discover resilience, strengthen their sense of self, and move forward with confidence. I see wellness and identity as deeply connected, and I strive to help clients embrace both as they create lives that feel meaningful and whole.

Hi,

I’m Ty’Desha Barley, a Licensed Social Worker and Psychotherapist at New Paths Counseling. I am passionate about helping clients build resilience and clarity as they navigate challenges. Whether you’re adjusting to a new environment, dealing with stress, or looking for guidance in your personal or professional journey, I’m here to walk alongside you. I believe therapy is a place not just for healing, but also for growth and empowerment—so you can step into your future with confidence.

Educationally, I obtained a Bachelor of Social Work from Temple University and earned a Master’s of Social Work at The University of Pennsylvania. My professional career has blended program development, case management, and clinical practice, with a deep commitment to education as the heartbeat of community and a foundation for growth. I have enjoyed supporting and building lasting relationships with youth and families for the past 5 years at the Department of Human Services’ Education Support Center, as well as serving as a School Social Worker, supporting K–8 students and families through social-emotional learning, crisis intervention, and holistic care. 

I’m passionate about helping teens and young adults navigate life transitions, school and career changes, and the challenges that come with finding your path. Together, we’ll create a space for healing, growth, and empowerment. In our work together, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and compassionate space where you feel seen and supported. My goal is to help you build resilience, find clarity, and strengthen your confidence as you move through life’s changes.
