About Barbara Dunn

Do you struggle with anxiety or depression?
Are you trying to adjust to big changes in your life?
Are you stressed and just can’t seem to shake it?

I can help.

My name is Barb Dunn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped many who have hit a bump in the road of life. I work with teens and adults who are looking for a better outcome for themselves. Because of my experience working with teens, I am well prepared to help with parenting issues. I am an easy going person with a sense of humor. I think it’s healthy to be able to laugh at our mistakes, gain some insight and move forward. I take a straightforward approach and use cognitive behavior therapy as well as brief solution focused therapy to achieve a positive outcome.

When I am not working, I enjoy being outdoors and being with my family.

I am here to help you. Whether it is anxiety, depression, adjustment, stress management, self esteem or LGBTQ concerns. I am here to help. Let’s get started!

“I am a fellow professional, and have been a client of Barbara's for just over year. She listened and empathized with all my professional and personal concerns and anxieties. Self care is so important to us as counselors, especially during this Covid crisis. I'm so glad I was able to confide in Barb and listen to a perspective from another professional counselor. It has been very convenient, not having to attend appointments outside of my home or office.”

“Barbara has helped me immensely through the anxiety that comes with the current pandemic and state of the world. She has given me tools to help me understand how and why anxiety happens.”

“Barb is awesome! She listens and totally gets me!”

“In a short time Barbara has helped me make sense of my anxiety and has already taught me useful ways to cope with it. Instead of my go-to of covering it up and making it worse in the long run. I feel more confident and able to face things head-on. She's easy to talk to and makes things relatable.”

“I like Barbara's way of consulting, she doesn't emphasize on the issue, she tackles it from a different perspective which helps with the paradigm shift, and she offers effective ways and tools to help solve the issue.<br /> <br /> She mostly responds only 4 times a week in the evening. Having a specific number of responses made me specific with my messages and questions and made me count on myself more and not be in a need for counseling all the time.”

“I had the chance to work with Barb for about half an year. She was patient and addressed several of my issues in a systematic and incremental way. I still follow several of her rules and it helped me gain balance and focus. No amount of words can convey my gratitude towards Barb for helping me out of this dark phase”

“Thank you Barbara for your time, patience and expertise with helping me through challenges.”

“I have liked working with Barb. She seems to understand all of my ramblings and she has helped me to understand my grief and given good advice on how to deal with it. Since starting this process I feel so much better - I'm starting to feel ready to move forward and be happy again!”

“Barbara is very nice and easy to talk to. I feel like she has different ways of approaching things and is very positive! I like that she talks to me like I’m another person, and not do the whole “hmm how does that make you feel” response that some counselors give. I would really recommend her to others!”

“Barbara has been amazing, she is very easy to talk to and asks solid follow-up questions.”

“Barbara has been amazing to work with so far. She has a balanced approach between managing symptoms and dealing with root causes. Talking with her is helping me a lot.”

“Amazingly awesome. The best counsellor around. Most supportive, professional and helpful. Whatever the problem is, you can talk about it and find a way out. I can't thank Barbara enough.”

“Barbara has been easy to chat with. I don't feel judged. I can ramble on and on and she somehow manages to get to the essence of it. Barbara asks helpful questions that give me something to think about and help point me in the right direction.”

“Very nice lady. Understands your needs easily and I feel comfortable while chatting or talking to her.”

“Barbara is extremely observant and responsive. So far I'm very happy with her as my counselor!”
