Branding Spotlight - BARBARA TEMPLETON EMDR therapIST
Show your clients who you are before they walk through the door

If you’re a therapist, coach, or wellness professional, your brand starts with you. And your headshot shouldn’t be an afterthought.
We recently worked with Barbara, an EMDR therapist, who wanted to update her branding portraits to better reflect her professional identity. Her goal was simple but powerful: to create a visual first impression that was open, trustworthy, and aligned with the calming, supportive space she offers her clients.

My name is Barbara Templeton, and I am a licensed EMDR therapist. I am deeply passionate about EMDR therapy because I have witnessed firsthand its transformative power in individuals’ lives. I chose this path because EMDR is a scientifically validated approach. My mission is to assist individuals in liberating themselves from limiting beliefs that perpetuate outdated patterns of behavior, which can manifest in various health challenges. I work with individuals seeking a fulfilling, productive, peaceful, and healthy life.

Helping others live with greater resilience and self compassion.
“Providing peace and power to individuals through therapy, yoga and meditation”
It has been an honor to support clients in reducing or eliminating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) behaviors, and negative thought patterns. Additionally, I assist them in navigating complex relationships and processing traumas such as sexual assault and various forms of abuse. My ultimate objective is to provide attentive listening and guide clients in eliminating negative core beliefs. I empower them to replace these beliefs with positive affirmations.
My clients come from diverse backgrounds, spanning the teenage years to the elderly. EMDR facilitates the brain’s natural healing process, leading to holistic healing on all dimensions of an individual’s well-being.

Clients are looking for connection before they ever reach out. A warm, authentic portrait can be the first step in building trust. Especially for therapists, where the relationship is the work, your photos need to communicate more than just what you look like—they need to show who you are.
What We Focused On
For Barbara’s session, we prioritized:
Natural light and soft tones to reflect a calm, safe space
Professional yet approachable wardrobe choices that echoed her overall brand palette
Poses and expressions that showed compassion, attentiveness, and calm confidence
The result? A cohesive gallery of portraits that she can use across her website, Psychology Today profile, social media, and marketing materials—all reinforcing the same message: grounded, open, and professional care.
