Depression, anxiety and couples problems are the primary focuses of my practice. As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues.
Blending conventional and alternative approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with the unique situation facing you to build strengths and to identify and achieve personal goals.

I arrived 15 minutes early to the office as requested to fill out paperwork. No one was at the front desk. Lights were dimmed like no one was there but I waited anyway. After almost 40 minutes, she came out of her office. She asked for my paperwork and I told her that I hadn't filled any out yet because no one was there. She got me the paperwork and said I had to get it filled out before she could talk to me. Then she hovered over me, sighing and telling me to hurry up. Once we (finally) started my session, I told her one of the reasons I was there. She cut me off saying I should go to someone

I took my daughter to her years ago. She ignored my daughter's problems she needed help with and insisted my then abusive husband be involved in the decision making and therapy. She violated my truth and my daughter's trust in mental health professionals leaving us both with more permanent trauma from asking for help and being ignored and blamed.

One and done session. She went over ACES scores and broke professionalism with clearly negative judgments. I never felt so discouraged in even bothering to seek help. She is not the type of therapist who demonstrates a growth mindset.
She also mischarges copays and then will continuously charge the client a fee every month for her own mistake. As if what she earned from the insurance were not enough...
I suspect this individual is in burnout.

I would reconsider your options before going to therapy here. I went for grief counseling and her immediate and continued response and reaction was "You Need meds!" She is not versed in ways to manage grief in any way. Also, she was 15 minutes late for my 1st (and only) appointment and ended it 10 minutes early, but somehow I was still charges for her full hour.

Really professional anxiety therapy , one of the best in Salem, OR. I had a lot of problems at home and at work and i definitely needed some kind of depression therapy or i don't know what kind of therapy but i had need it ! I chose Barbara accidentally and I am completely satisfied of her service. She is a lovely woman and is great professional. Her therapy helped me after the first few visits and i felt a progress in my mentality. Barbara M. Balowitz, LCSW is really good choice, she helped me, I hope that she will help you too ! High recommendations !
