Barbara Hurst

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I have been a school counselor and in private practice as a therapist for 18 years. My specialties in treatment are working with children with using play therapy, teenagers, and adults. I believe that seeking counseling can be a hard thing to do, and I see my job as a therapist to encourage and invite all individuals who need help to feel comfortable when we meet and start our path toward healing together as partners. I have experience in treating individuals who may have ADD/ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, family problems, divorce, trauma, and many more treatment needs. My treatment depends on the individual, but I have experience in play therapy for children, cognitive behavioral therapy for teens and adults, self awareness, and family conflict. I will respect you as an individual and do whatever I can to help you start toward a path of healing.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is the flexibility it offers – clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent care alongside daily responsibilities. Licensed professionals provide online care, and clients may change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy can be an accessible and effective option.
