Meet Chad Barron, MS, LMFT

Chad graduated in 2006 from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas with a BA in Youth and Family Ministry. After serving as a youth minister in the Tampa Bay area for six years, Chad felt called to work more closely with families and individuals going through crisis and returned to Harding to pursue his MS in Marriage and Family Therapy and Mental Health Counseling.

As a clinician, Chad has worked in private practice, substance abuse counseling, adolescent residential treatment, and as an Intensive In-Home therapist. Chad has a passion for coming alongside families, couples, and individuals struggling with a wide variety of mental health and inter-personal struggles. His approach is solution-focused, family systems oriented, and rooted in building healthy relationships both with the self and others. For those who are interested, Chad is well suited and glad to provide coaching services through a Christ-centered lens.

Chad grew up in a military family but lived mostly in Fort Walton Beach, Florida growing up. He has been married to his beautiful wife, Justine, since 2006 and has four amazing kids. He loves exploring the mountains of Western North Carolina with his family, finding the best “hole in the wall” restaurants, and playing guitar and piano.
