Getting to know Barbara Dern

Hi there, I'm Barbara! Welcome! I’m an LPC and founder of Harmony in Bloom. I am dedicated to helping you find tranquility and balance. By bridging thoughts and emotions, I partner with you to navigate life’s complex challenges and guide you toward a deeply grounded, healed version of yourself. My focus I support individuals, teens, and families facing anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship conflict. With 20+ years of experience with adolescents and neurodiversity (including ASD), I help those ready to move past overwhelm toward peace. If you are ready to heal and live fully, you’ve come to the right place. My approach My approach is holistic and warm. I bridge thoughts and emotions to help you uncover deep patterns. Drawing from extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), play, art, and sandtray therapy, I tailor our sessions to your unique needs, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for lasting emotional healing. My communication style I communicate with a balance of deep warmth, active collaboration, and gentle honesty. My goal is to create a nurturing, nonjudgmental space where you feel entirely safe to express your thoughts and emotions. You can expect me to be a steady, attentive listener who honors your story while working alongside you. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began with a passion for human connection, earning my MS in Counseling at Northwest Nazarene University. Over 20 years in behavioral health and residential care, I’ve seen the transformative power of therapy. My personal journey navigating neurodiversity and family life further deepens my empathy and dedication to your growth. My goals for you We reach your goals by designing customized plans that respect your capacity. Rather than focusing on heavy homework, I believe the most transformative insights unfold naturally right within our sessions.
