Barbara Markowitz

As a seasoned therapist I have found that the patient/therapist relationship is the cornerstone in building the therapeutic alliance. Life presents us with many challenges and I will help you face and deal with them. Our life’s journey is often marked by unexpected circumstances that are out of our control, childhood traumas, and so much else life has to present us with. I am experienced , compassionate and empathetic and we can explore together what your goals are and how to achieve them. My hope is that you will feel the safety to express and share anything and expect a non-judgmental and supportive response. I will be your therapeutic partner in working towards your goals to help you live a more positive life

My approach to therapy is more eclectic, pulling from various treatment modalities and my vast experience working with a wide range of patients. I am comfortable treating individuals or couples and I have extensive training working with people who have dissociative disorders, DID and Trauma histories. I have worked for many years with people who have depression and anxiety, fears and phobias. I believe it’s important for us to understand our past, as it informs our present and helps us understand who we are now. I can help you understand any negative patterns you have and develop healthy ways to resolve them

After your first session you can expect to feel a sense of relief, knowing you have taken the first step in reaching your goals. I can help you manage your daily life stressors by providing you with the tools you will need to have healthier relationships with others and yourself. We can increase your feelings of self esteem and self worth and discover your path towards a healthier and more fulfilling life. I believe you will know you have someone on your side who will commit to being there for you and will take this journey with you
