Barbara Petersen-Fox

Clinical Social Worker/Therapist - LISW

I am a therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping clients navigate through the curve balls life often throws our way. As your therapist, I will help you seek clarity and develop positive behavior changes, so that you can lead a more fulfilling life. We will meet in a safe, supportive, and constructive atmosphere and examine all aspects of your self: psychological, biological, social and spiritual. Through this holistic approach, you will develop new perspectives, insights, and effective strategies to improve your life and overcome obstacles in your way.I have helped clients of all ages and life stages through challenges in their lives. Sometimes it just takes an objective listener. By gaining a better understanding of your past influences, present patterns, and inner beliefs, you can find the clarity you need for yourself, your relationships and your life.I specialize in the following issues: anxiety, depression, divorce/separation, relationship concerns, blended families, stress management, life transitions, grief and loss, work/career stress, and parenting support. I have a special interest in assisting young adults working on self-esteem issues, goal-setting, and other emerging adulthood challenges.
