Kalah Barlow, RCSW
Kalah is a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern who brings empathy, respect, and a genuine passion for helping others into every session. She understands that life can be complicated, especially for individuals and families navigating tough times, and she’s here to walk alongside you through it.
Kalah holds a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from Southern New Hampshire University and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida. She is trauma-informed and ACT (Adoption Competency Training) certified, with a strong background in supporting individuals and families impacted by trauma.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. No matter the method, Kalah’s priority is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
Specialties
Children and Teens
Kahlah especially enjoys working with children, teenagers, and families, helping them strengthen relationships, improve communication, and create more harmony at home. She understands that family life can be challenging at times — whether it’s navigating big emotions, dealing with behavioral struggles, or simply trying to connect in a busy world — and she’s passionate about supporting families through those ups and downs.
Kahlah believes deeply in the healing power of creativity. She often weaves art, music, and other creative activities into her sessions, giving clients a safe and natural way to express themselves beyond just talking. This approach can be especially helpful for children and teens, who sometimes find it easier to share their feelings through creativity rather than words alone.
In her work, Kahlah focuses on creating a safe, supportive space where kids, teens, and parents feel heard and understood. She tailors her approach to each family’s unique needs and works collaboratively to build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and encourage healthy communication.
Whether your family is adjusting to a big life change, working through conflict, or just trying to feel more connected, Kahlah is committed to helping you find balance, build stronger bonds, and create a more peaceful and supportive home environment.
