About me

I have been a school counselor and in private practice as a therapist for 18 years. My specialties in treatment are working with children with using play therapy, teenagers, and adults. I believe that seeking counseling can be a hard thing to do, and I see my job as a therapist to encourage and invite all individuals who need help to feel comfortable when we meet and start our path toward healing together as partners. I have experience in treating individuals who may have ADD/ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, family problems, divorce, trauma, and many more treatment needs. My treatment depends on the individual, but I have experience in play therapy for children, cognitive behavioral therapy for teens and adults, self awareness, and family conflict. I will respect you as an individual and do whatever I can to help you start toward a path of healing.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Barbara Hurst. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

My experience with Barbara has been very helpful and pleasant. She is responsive, makes me feel heard, and offers tools to help me. I have hit some dark points and she has always been there to help me through those tough points. I highly recommend her and Better Help. You just can't beat the quality, convenience, and price.
