Barbara (Barb) Perkins
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Through safe and trusting experiences, we can look at what our emotional knowings believe and hold up a newer alternative that can be transformational.
Your goals are important to me. You have chosen this moment to look for a therapist. I will assess why. I will propose a treatment plan based on your goals. We live in relationship with others, so I tend to ask questions such as, "What would a friend say about that?" or "What would your partner say if they were here?" Your nervous system has learned much in your lifetime. We will unlock the keys to understanding your nervous system, and you will be able to catch what it is doing, watch it, and redirect it towards your goals. It takes a lot of courage to seek therapy. I have been a client myself on and off through different life transitions. I know what it's like on the other side of the room and will offer respect and ways to build safety and connection.
