Testimonials

“I started seeing Barbara in an attempt to deal with several different long-standing problems that had been troubling me my entire adult life.  Through her knowledge, skill and caring, she has helped me to deal  with all of my problems.  When I have raised issues that fall outside her area of expertise, she has referred me to other professionals, who have been equally caring and helpful.  My life is far better today than it was before I started therapy.”  S.J. – Dedham
