****Tools and Treatment methods I utilize*****
I take a holistic approach and work with you, where you are at the moment. Each session is based on where you are, not on a scheduled structure.
**If you are looking for highly structured session or many worksheets, I may not be a good fit for you. I will give assignments; however generally, few if any worksheets unless you request them. **
Together we will set up goals for your personal needs and wants.
I use Evidence-Based models. My main approach to healing is Person-Centered. I also utilize techniques from: CBT, CT, Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, Mindfulness, Meditation, Visualization, EFT, Gestalt, and others.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Barbara Parry. 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.
Barbara is an incredible therapist. I was drawn to her initially because she has a chronic illness, like me. It's so nice to find someone that understands. She has been with me through some very difficult times and made an emergency video call for me once in a crisis. I love being able to message her and get my thoughts out when they are fresh. She is so kind and compassionate and has so much experience. One of my favorite things is the meditation audios she makes! She has made me personalized affirmations and sleep meditations and I love them so much!!! She also is skilled in working through trauma. So so thankful to have had her help and support this past year and look forward to working with her this next year!

Barbara is amazing. She is empathetic and helps gently guide you through whatever it is that you may want to work through by using a gentle yet humanistic approach. She is one of the best trauma therapists I’ve worked with over the years. Highly recommend working with her!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Barbara and I can confidently say that they have been an invaluable resource in my personal growth and healing journey. From the very first session, Barbara has demonstrated a deep understanding of my struggles with self-worth, self-doubt, and boundary-setting in relationships, and has helped me to see these issues in a new and more empowering light.
One of the things that has impressed me the most about Barbara is their ability to reframe my negative thoughts and help me see things from a different perspective. They have a real talent for helping me identify and challenge my limiting beliefs, and have provided me with the tools and support I need to build more positive and healthy relationships with myself and others.
In addition to their exceptional skills as a therapist, Barbara is also an incredibly warm and compassionate person. They have a way of making me feel truly heard and understood, which has been invaluable in my journey towards healing and self-improvement.
I highly recommend Barbara to anyone seeking support and guidance in working through issues related to self-worth, self-doubt, relationships, boundaries, and resentment. They have made a profound impact on my well-being, and I am incredibly grateful for the work we have done together.
