Written on Jul 20, 2022 after therapy with Barbara for 2 years and 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, self esteem, anger management, and career difficulties
Dr. Barzilai is a therapist who leads with compassion and kindness. She and I have been working together for over two years now. I stay with her because she continues to support and facilitate my growth and development.
I have had challenges finding a therapist in the past. Typically I don't feel comfortable opening up, or when I do I feel that there isn't much productive guidance. This couldn't have been farther from my experience with Dr. B. For the first time, she provides me with useful and effective insight while ensuring I feel sincerely listened to and validated.
Therapy can be an intimidating thing, but Dr. B's therapeutic style makes it easy. I couldn't recommend her more.

Hard to put into words the impact my time with Dr B. has had on my life. She has helped me process a variety of topics, ranging from those easily accessible to others with significant depth. Through caring and patient dialogue, Dr B always met me where I was in my process; contributing both practical tools for wellbeing, in addition to allowing a space for deep seeking when the times were right. I owe Dr B something more than a traditional depth of gratitude. Plainly put, my time with her has significantly changed my life for the better.

Dr. B is incredible! I’ve been to face-to-face therapy before and loved it so much but was afraid I wouldn’t ever find another therapist I liked as much. Then I got matched with Dr. B and I’m so happy I did! She really listens and offers solutions that although as introspective as I may be, I didn’t think of on my own. She also has a great sense of humor, which is a MUST for me. I really look forward to our sessions and would recommend her to anyone!!
