My name is Barbara C. White. I am a Psychotherapist who offers a variety of counseling services. Below is some information about me and my practice that may be helpful before you call or come in for an appointment.
About Me:
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in private practice since 1999. I see primarily individuals but I also provide couples counseling and family therapy as well.
My style is a conversational talk therapy. I do my best work when I can listen a lot. The more I listen, the more able I am to identify themes and patterns that may arise in your life. Sometimes these patterns are beneficial, other times these patterns can block growth and change. I work closely with you to identify and strengthen what is working well. I always consider you to be the expert on yourself and frequently check in to be sure I am understanding and hearing you correctly. Using my listening skills, I am often able to hear ideas and thoughts that arise from your unconscious thought processes that may be affecting your day to day experience. I use my intuition and humor to keep the sessions flowing.
I love my work and have an endless curiosity about people’s lives. I like to switch back and forth from the big picture, to find what guides you in your life, to the small picture, to find what guides you through the day. I suggest practical solutions that may ease your way through the daily challenges life offers.
