Had my first meeting with Barbara and she was very easy to talk to, really listened to me, and gave me realistic goals to work on to help myself step by step! Looking forward to meeting with her again!

I had a really good first session with Barbara! She was very open minded, calm, and I felt very much so like she listens well and wants the best for her clients.

My first therapy session with Barbara was exceptional. She created a safe, welcoming space where I felt comfortable being open and honest. Her ability to listen with intention and respond with genuine empathy made me feel truly understood. What I appreciated most was her ability to offer practical, manageable solutions—focused not just on progress, but on showing real impact and effort. I left the session feeling supported, empowered, and hopeful. An outstanding start to the journey.
