My first session with Dr. Barfield was great. It was only 45 minutes long and I felt so good afterwards. She was a good listener and made me feel heard. I really am looking forward to our next session.

She listens and gives me constructive advice. She relates without faking it.

My first meeting with Dr. Shari was what I needed to weed out the different voices in my head and listen to my own intuition about a dating situation. I felt heard and validated. It was such an easy process to get in touch and set up an appointment with her.
