Therapists in Divide, CO

Life creates challenges that are often tough to deal with by ourselves. By providing a caring and empathetic approach, I can offer support and guidance to address issues that may include relationships, grief and loss, family conflict, and addictions.

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. . . . . .

I want to invite you to awaken to the life you were created for...filled with hope, healing and freedom to live the Bigger Story. When we go through difficult times, it is so easy for our hearts to simply go to "sleep" to protect ourselves from further pain and disappointment. Sometimes it can be challenging to know how to break out of the ways our hearts have opted for the status quo. With 31 years of counseling experience and a passion to see hearts awakened, I offer to come alongside those who are sincerely hungry for true transformation.

What if you woke up tomorrow and found yourself happier, healthier, and more connected to the world around you? Life can certainly leave us feeling disconnected and struggling to find happiness on our own. It does not have to be that way. Maybe you feel like you know where you want to go but are not certain how to start. I understand. Maybe anxiety has taken over at the worst possible moments, or overwhelming sadness has left you unable to get on with your day. I see you. Pain touches us all in a deeply personal way. And it provides connection by way of compassion, understanding, and validation.

I take an eclectic and individualized approach for each client that utilizes concepts from CBT, DBT, family systems, narrative therapy, and solution focused therapy. I also like to incorporate concepts from art therapy, play therapy, and somatic experiencing in efforts to improve self-awareness, promote connection, and increase mindfulness. As a parent and professional who has worked in our community with families and educators for over a decade, I understand that each individual, family, and child is faced with unique complexities and stressors that must be addressed on multiple levels with sensitivity and understanding.
