Using the services of a counselor is much like using the services of an accountant, attorney, or personal trainer. You benefit from using a professional’s education and training to attain the best, fastest results. A professional psychotherapist can guide you to true life transformation. Nothing is quite like when someone is there, giving 100% of their attention to YOU and YOUR needs and feelings. There really is no need to “go it alone.” Complete confidentiality is ensured (with rare exceptions, such as danger to self or others). Barbara specializes in all types of couples counseling, utilizing advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), proven by research to be 75-95% effective compared with the average relationship counseling techniques most therapists use which are only 20-30% effective. EFT is a respectful and warm method of helping couples resolve conflict with a very practical approach. It is a method that views relationship issues through the couple’s own realities and experiences, getting right to the heart of the matter, to help create the lasting change they are looking for.
