Rate Barbara Pettibone

Barbara is truly the best therapist I have worked with. She is supportive and provides just the right amount of nudge to encourage progress. I really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her, I would work with her again.

Best therapist I’ve had.

Barbara's been a really wonderful therapist--she's helped me during two different significant times/events and she does a great job of both listening and also encouraging me to think about the rationale and root cause of what I'm feeling and why. The second time I sought out her help, after the death of a family member, I was actually really surprised to see--talking through things--how much emotional intelligence I had retained from the previous time she worked with me and how resilient I was in healing thanks to that.

Barbara has done everything possible in a situation that is difficult. I greatly appreciate her time and efforts.

Barbara continues to be a key resource for me in my quest for mental health. She is highly professional, yet also has the ability to connect personally even in a virtual meeting. Barbara has been flexible and open to changes in format to support my particular needs.

I feel very lucky to have been matched with Barbara. She helped me through a tough time, and helped me manage my thoughts and feelings after I had felt "stuck" and move forward from there. I can't put into words how much she helped me but I can recommend her highly for anyone seeking a compassionate and empathetic therapist. Thank you Barbara!

Barbra has helped and supported me to achieve the goals that I had originally set out to achieve in therapy. Helping me through one of the worst times of my life and giving me the tools to be the best version of myself. Barbara has kept me on course to move forward. All with a kind smile, great sense of humour and her lovely cat named Bodie. I cant recommend Barbara more, she is a down to earth topnotch councillor!

Simply put, the best psychotherapist I've had.

Couldn’t recommend Barbara more!

Barbara has helped me plumb into depths of my self that i have hidden from myself. Her patience is only one of her strong points.

Barbara was really kind, insightful, and helpful during my therapy. She was really good about understanding where my struggles were originating from and helped me to get a clearer understanding and better self confidence too! I'm really glad i got to work with her.

Working with Barbara has helped me in more ways than I can describe. She provided me with the ultimate safe place and her undivided attention and care during all of our sessions to see me through very challenging times. She approached every session with a unique level of empathy and thoughtfulness that let me be fully open with my experiences; I would consider myself to have made enormous progress towards my goals in therapy with Barbara.

Barbara has amazing skills in helping me assess the situations that had risen for me. She was super great in helping me navigate some stressful personal situations. She helped me achieve my goals. I would highly recommend Barbara!

Barbara is very experienced in therapy and in life. She is dedicated to understanding where you are coming from so she can ask the right questions. I always feel like I'm making a great use of my time when I speak with her and feel a noticeable improvement in how I manage my stress and navigate certain situations with my family. Thanks, Barbara!

I certainly like working with Barbara. She is understanding and supportive yet holds my feet to the fire when i get evasive. Very competent.

I don't know what i would have done without Barbaras help and support.

I was extremely hesitant about therapy as I have had it before and never felt any progress. About a year ago I realized that it was time to take care of my mental and emotional health, and that I needed to try therapy again. I was paired with Barbara Pettibone and have been speaking with her weekly for the last year. My family and friends have all noticed a change in me and I owe a lot of that to Barbara. She allows a safe space with encouragement, challenges and has no hesitation on being able to address the issues that are not talked about, but what she is able to observe. I have enjoyed speaking with her because it is nice to know that I can talk about things, but I am receiving honest feedback - even if I don't always like it. It has helped me grow and deal with childhood and adult trauma in more ways than any other therapist I have had. Her patience, guidance, flexibility, ability to be direct, yet understanding, and observations are excellent. I feel if you are willing to do your part and put in the effort, Barbara Pettibone will help you in your journey to a better mental and emotional space. She is a wonderful therapist and I am so thankful I was paired with her.

Barbara Pettibone is super easy to talk to and is always very understanding. She is a great listener and makes sure you always feel heard. I really loved working with her and know she will alway she there to help me out if I need her.

Barbara helps me navigate my anxiety and stress in a way that feels objective but also supportive - It's a great balance. Chalk it up to her years of experience, and just being great!

I asked Barbara for conversation and for her thoughts about what i was telling her. She is a very good listener and an active participant in the conversation. She shares some good insights.

I dont know where I would be without Barbara. Her help and guidance has been invaluable!

Barbara meets me where I am each session. She asks wonderfully pointed questions that help me to dig deep and actually move through the topic we are discussing. I truly feel she gets me and cares about my mental and emotional growth.

Barbara was wonderful and empathetic, and helped me with a tough time at work! I highly recommend working with her (:

"Barbara does an excellent job of balancing getting to know my personal history, hearing about the daily challenges I face, and giving me constructive feedback including offering concrete suggestions. On the basis of my experience with her, I have already recommended BetterHelp to friends when I hear BetterHelp advertisements come up on NPR."

Barbara is incredibly knowledgeable with different strategies and techniques. She made coming to and sticking with therapy so easy and enjoyable. She was able to help me find the root of my anxiety and self doubt and identify triggers. I would definitely recommend!

Barbara has been so incredibly supportive would definitely recommend her.

Starting therapy was something I had in mind for a while. I know a lot of people struggle with picking the right therapist to interact and connect with. I, on the other hand, got very lucky with having Barbara as my therapist. She was the first one suggested and I’m so happy I got the opportunity to connect with her. She created a safe space for me to be able to open up and talk about what I needed to let out. At no point ever in our sessions did I ever feel judged or shamed, the follow up questions she’d give me really opened my mind to really think about different perspectives and outlooks on certain situations/event. Barbara was very engaging and helpful with her comments and suggestions. The resources shed offer (worksheets) were very helpful as well and was a good way to continue therapy sessions outside of our video calls. With that said, her communication with me was appreciated, I’d write down whatever I needed to and she was good with responding back as soon as she could. I really appreciate the time and respect she gives in our sessions.

Barbara has been an amazing counselor in my time working with her. She has been supportive, kind, and understanding throughout our sessions. She has also allowed me to continue to grow and thrive even after our sessions came to an end, as she has helped me to implement so many useful tools and techniques that can and have helped me get through difficult situations. Overall, my experience with her has been great, and I recommend her to anyone who might be in need of an insightful and thoughtful counselor who will equip you with tools you can continue to use long after the counseling ends.

Barbara has been absolutely wonderful. She is always kind and sympathetic but also challenges you to improve and think critically about things. I feel I made some really good progress and couldn’t have done it without her!

Barbara has been so incredibly supportive. I don’t know how I would have coped without her. A fantastic listener, that has made me question how I see things for the better.

Very good at what she does. She’s not afraid to call you out, but she’s also very caring.

I worked with Barbra for 5 months, and it has helped me a lot. Talking to her feels like talking to a good friend that always knows what to say. I did miss a spesific plan for progress sometimes, as her work is more focused on working with the topics that were relevant to the week or the session. We talked about whatever I felt was most pressing in the moment. This way of working was new to me, but it helped me a lot. She got a thorough understanding of my backround, and helped me understand how my pervious expiriences have affected me.

Barbara is the best advocate for the true me hidden inside myself that I have ever met.

Probably shouldn't offer live chat if she is unable to do it..

She is great!

Barbara is warm hearted and makes me feel comfortable opening up to her.

Barbara's great!
