Lynn Barrette, LCSW

Hello and welcome! I am so glad you are here!

In 2018, I opened Center for Dynamic Healing to create a space where I could bring together the different dimensions of my work—clinical therapy, Brainspotting, mindfulness, spiritual insight, teaching, and parent support. I believe healing is deeply personal, and that the most meaningful change happens when we honor the whole person and continue learning and growing throughout our lives. I believe in lifelong learning and growing! It’s a joy to share these tools and insights in as many ways as possible.

I am licensed to practice in both Illinois and Florida, although some services may be supported in other locations. I’ve been a clinical therapist for nearly 20 years and have spent 30 years as a spiritual counselor. My journey began in a Unity church, where I became a Licensed Unity Teacher and Spiritual Counselor back in 1994.

Dual Licensure in Illinois & Florida

Founder/Managing Director

Around that time, I met my incredible spiritual mentor, Jane Elizabeth Hart, who created her spiritual education organization, Center for Enlightenment later, in 2000. She guided me through some challenging emotional times and equipped me with valuable tools that I still use today, both in my own life and with my clients. I actually moved from Chicago to Florida in 2020 to work with her, support her organization, and be supported by her years of wisdom and guidance!

Under Jane's guidance, I became a Certified Center for Enlightenment Teacher, offering classes and counseling using the foundations of her teachings. Center for Enlightenment continues to be my spiritual home.

In 2019, I became a Certified Brainspotting Consultant after several years of appreciating how Brainspotting supported my clients as an effective emotional processing tool. Brainspotting is a focused mindfulness process that helps loosen and release emotional stuck places stored in our mind-body system, freeing us to feel more fully.

I love teaching classes on meditation, soul evolution, forgiveness, and emotional self-determination. The teachings I learned from Jane have truly become a part of who I am, and it is my joy to share those teachings and help others experience transformation as I have. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!
