My name is Danny Barclay. I am studying Marriage and Family Therapy at Liberty University. I am a leader in student and outreach ministries through Memphis Christian Church in Memphis, Indiana and Youth For Christ's Campus Life ministries. I have a passion for equipping families with the tools they need to deal with interpersonal conflict, cognitive distortions, and trauma as a unified front. I believe none of us are an island and that families are best able to deal with individual problems when they take them on together, and that's just one of the many reasons that I deeply enjoy working at Brandon's House Counseling Center.
