Getting to know Barbara Labinger
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor based in California with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I relate to clients with a mix of compassionate listening and down-to-earth dialogue. My approach to therapy is eclectic, primarily what's called "client-centered." My toolbox includes body awareness, mindfulness, and expressive arts. I believe the relationship is the most important factor in successful therapy. I've worked with a broad diversity of individuals, couples, and families. I particularly resonate with people and relationships with a foot in two (or more) worlds. This includes, but is not limited to: first and second generation immigrants; cross-cultural couples; genders, sexualities, and relationships that fall outside common definitions; and major life transitions. I also have a background in theatre, which offers many lessons applicable to therapy: communication depends not just on the words said but what's beneath them-bodies speak, and historical context matters. We all play multiple roles, with each other and with ourselves. We are shaped by stories, and each of us has a rich and important story to tell. It is always possible to change the script.
