Personal Statement

I believe therapy is a way toward a fuller, more satisfying life. Together we will journey past the obstacles to greater self-esteem, more satisfying relationships, work and play. I engage actively with you but am guided by your individual needs and wishes. I can help you to expand the strengths you already have and add new skills, experiences and ways of seeing yourself.

I work in an integrative manner and am particularly interested in the unity of body and mind. How we think and feel are intimately connected and I am interested in bringing together the various dichotomies that confound us: thoughts and feelings, past and future, work and creativity, self and other.

My expertise includes: family, relationships, grief, loss, LGBTQ issues, HIV/AIDS, 12-Step recovery and women's issues. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy and Creative Arts (Drama) Therapy. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety, openness and spontaneity so that the process of therapy is both warm and productive.

Barbara Danish, LCAT

I have over 20 years of experience working with children and adults in clinic, non-profit and private practice settings. I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice. I work with people to live the best life possible by helping them to recognize their strengths, develop increased self esteem, improve relationships and develop skills to overcome the negative patterns of thought, feeling and action which can derail our plans and dreams.
