Barbara brings experience, warmth, and humor to the therapeutic environment and creates a welcoming space for client concerns and challenges. She employs Internal Family Systems (IFS) methods to help clients learn to understand their "bad actors" (personality parts that engage in impulsive or harmful behaviors), as well as those that manage the client's life and keep them out of trouble. Barbara facilitates clients' re-discovery of their own vast internal resources and with this, they begin to realize their authentic qualities and strengths. . . . . . Barbara Wegener, LPC, Shadow Lantern Counseling, LLC
Imagine your personality as a core, authentic Self: calm, wise, compassionate. Around this core Self, a bunch of little selves caught in time, some carrying burdens of sadness or pain, others ready to use extreme strategies to prevent such pain ever happening again. With IFS, "parts" can calm down, release burdens and extreme behaviors, and regain stability.
My background is diverse, thanks to my experience in prisons, the military, and community mental health. I welcome clients of every race, faith, nationality, sexuality/gender or any other trait. Therapy is hard work but I strive to facilitate it by earning your trust and using effective methods. Openings are available for appointments by telehealth.

"
IFS: I will assist you to turn inward to listen to and connect with your "parts," aspects of your personality that perform various functions. They can carry burdens such as beliefs and emotions attached to past, often traumatic, experiences, and can act out in extreme ways (substance use, numbing, rage, panic, etc). With unburdening, parts are freed from their need to use these means.
