Therapists Beginning With V in Vermont

I enjoy psychotherapy with adults. I have experience in mood and anxiety disorders, significant life transitions, grief and loss, spiritual issues, trauma and the psychological impact of medical issues. Prior to licensure as a psychologist, I practiced as a marriage/family therapist for over 30 years.

I work with adults dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and other issues. We often hit roadblocks in our relationships with ourselves or others, or have difficulty living life the way we want to live it. It takes courage to seek help from someone else to address blindspots or problematic old patterns. Maybe you need to learn and practice new skills, or perhaps earlier experiences need to be reworked. Sometimes change seems impossible; I know that it can be a daunting but wonderful journey to embark on.

Engaging collaboratively with you, and your unique background of joys, wounds, circumstances, and aspirations, I draw on a of variety of forms of therapy to meet you where you are and foster the growth and change you desire. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, grieving, relationship, family, parenting, co-parenting, health, sex, divorce, communication, domestic violence, financial, life transition issues and more. Combining compassion and directness, I weave psychoeducation into our work, believing it's helpful to understand what is happening in our mind and body as we cope with life's stressors, and how therapy helps.

If you are here, you might be a creative person who feels stuck in your ability to move forward and actualize your full, unique potential. "Stuck" might take many forms –depression, chronic anxiety, trauma patterns, miscellaneous self-sabotage, or issues in relationships. Maybe you've been through (or are in the middle of) a challenging experience that you have yet to fully digest. Maybe your ways of being are at odds with "normal" systems and structures. Whatever it is, you want to make the shifts that let you bloom more fully in your life. I help you nourish your gifts and cultivate resilience in the face of life's challenges.

I entered my doctoral program in counseling psychology with the aim of integrating what I had already learned through study of meditation and Buddhist practice with the technology of Western concepts of wellness and health. I came out with a deep appreciation for the many ways that people arrive at a counselor's door and the many ways they leave. Throughout our lives we constantly face new challenges, leaving home, coupling, parenting, careering, retiring all present challenges we've never faced before. At any point along the way we may be called on to marshal new resources or adapt old strategies that are no longer working.

I provide psychotherapy to adults by helping them heal through awareness and self-knowledge. I listen to understand the individual and help facilitate a trusting therapeutic relationship. Through listening and understanding I can help to bring positive change in your life. I encourage the exploration of the conscious and unconscious mind to help identify core causes of your issue. By identifying the core causes of your issue with the help of a trusting therapeutic relationship we can replace unhealthy beliefs and behaviors with healthy ones.

Hi! I'm Barbara. I have nearly 20 years of experience working with adults who experience anxiety, depression, codependence, personality issues, communication difficulties, and substance use. These issues keep us from living and experiencing our lives and make our worlds smaller. We often need to process our experiences with another individual and help us make sense of our experiences and to gain a different outlook on them.

Psychotherapy is very rewarding and challenging work. Anyone seeking to make themselves healthier needs to know that and be open to change. Despite how difficult it is to work through the issues that disrupt our lives, the reward is learning that life is a process worth living and improving on a continuous basis. I treat people with trauma issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, career moves, family issues, OCD, addictive behaviors, relationship problems and interpersonal unhappiness often beginning with providing psycho-educational information such as personal boundaries, basic human rights, safety, and coping and advocacy skills.

I'm currently accepting new clients, telehealth only! Please email me with a little bit of what you're looking for if you'd like to schedule an intake. We all deserve a space to be heard as we navigate the challenges and complications of being human. Therapy allows us to gain insight into our behavioral patterns, motivations, hopes, and fears. I believe it is this deeper understanding of self that can empower growth and healing. My goal as a therapist is to provide a setting in which my clients feel safe and supported to explore their emotional experiences with curiosity and compassion.
