Holistic Counseling

I provide holistic counseling services in Buena Vista, CO, and via telehealth.  I take a multi-dimensional approach, integrating mind, body, and spirit, and work primarily with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy. 

Process

Counseling sessions are 60 minutes in length, available in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at Peak Wellness Collaborative (36 Oak Street, Buena Vista, CO) and via telehealth on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Before starting counseling, a free discovery session is required to discuss goals and approach, ensuring a good therapeutic fit. 

What to Expect

I meet clients where they are at, using active and empathetic listening to allow clients to feel deeply seen, heard and felt.  I use the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy to guide client’s in differentiating their whole and healthy “Self” from their wounded and protective “parts”, to work toward achieving harmony and balance in their internal system. I also incorporate polyvagal theory to help clients understand and regulate their stress responses, promoting healthier engagement with the world.

Finances/Insurance

I currently accept the following insurances:

  • Aetna

  • Cigna

  • Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Colorado

*Note: I am awaiting contracts with additional Colorado insurances including United Healthcare.  

​

My private pay rate is $125 per hour, for those without insurance or those that have insurance that I do not accept.  I provide superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement.  Please see more about this in the FAQs.

Payment

I use a company called Headway for my electronic health records as well as to manage my billing.  Clients will set up a patient portal account with them and they will collect payment.  They accept debit/credit cards.

Cancellation Policy

Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule or cancel.  Appointments rescheduled or changed less than 24 hours before the session are subject to being charged for the full rate of the session, unless you or someone in your household is sick.  I work to be flexible and avoid cancellation fees when possible.

Client Testimonial

S.S. - Former Massachusetts Counseling Client

Barbara has been an incredible therapist and came to me highly recommended for her reputable work by a close friend. I have been able to work closely with her for almost two years. Through our work, I have been able to heal in unimaginable ways and have learned to give myself grace- especially while going through a very difficult divorce. I have discovered breathwork through her and could not have asked for a better supporter/life coach.

Therapeutic Breathwork

I offer individual Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) sessions in Buena Vista, CO and will be offering community group breath workshops starting in Fall 2024. This powerful, transformational healing modality promotes emotional release and expands consciousness, supporting you in your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Process

Individual Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) sessions are typically 1 ½ - 2 hours in length, including a 15-30 minute check-in, 45-60 minutes of Conscious Connected Breath, and 15-30 minutes of integration and debrief. Individual sessions are available at Jala Blu Yoga Studio (301 East Main Street #260, Buena Vista, CO) or in client’s homes. Community group breath workshops will also be available with timing and location TBD.  

​

Before starting individual breathwork, a free discovery session is required to provide education on CCB, discuss goals and to ensure that we are a good fit to work with one another.  

What to Expect

Sessions are facilitated to help clients go beyond their comfort zone to a cathartic emotional release. I use verbal and physical interventions to help clients achieve a rhythmic diaphragmatic breath that allows for a clearing out of old thoughts, beliefs, patterns, and behaviors.

Finances

Individual Sessions will be $150*.  

It is recommended that you purchase a bundle for cost savings and as new clients experience the maximum benefits and effects of breathwork when they engage in at least three sessions with 10-20 days between each session.  If you are a current client and have had an one-on-one session within the last three months, you can choose to schedule a single session.  Please contact me directly instead of purchasing a bundle and we discuss goals and arrange payment.

 

  • 3 session bundle $405 (10% savings off regular rate)

  • 5 session bundle $637 (15% savings off regular rate)

  • 7 session bundle $840 (20% savings off regular rate)

 

*I am offering sessions for $80 as as I complete the apprenticeship phase of my training.

Cancellation Policy

Due to the 2-hour time commitment, please give at least a 48-hour advanced notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. Appointments rescheduled or changed less than 24 hours before the session are subject to a $75 fee*. Full payment is required for missed sessions. If you have a package of sessions prepaid and miss a session, that session is forfeited.
*If you or someone in your household is sick, please reschedule your appointment with no penalty.
