About Dr. Barton

I am a psychiatrist in Nashville providing comprehensive, individualized care that integrates psychotherapy with medication management.

My work is grounded in careful listening and a thorough understanding of each person’s situation. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work to understand the broader context of a person’s life —relationships, work, and personal history— and how these shape their current difficulties.

I have over 25 years of clinical experience and trained at Harvard Medical School. I work with adults facing a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Appointments are typically available within a few days, and in urgent situations, I can often see patients sooner.

I maintain a private-pay practice and I do not participate in insurance networks. This allows for greater flexibility, privacy, and a more individualized approach to care. I can provide documentation for patients who wish to pursue out-of-network reimbursement.
