Barbara Bartlein

My clients describe me as:

easy to talk to and occasionally funny. My clients feel comfortable and know that they have a safe, trusting place to talk and share.

Something to know about my approach is:

I use talk therapy, re-framing experiences and feelings, and a brief treatment model. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, I help clients look at their beliefs, feelings, and behaviors and what changes they wish to make.

Together, we will:

See what your goals are and develop a plan to help you achieve them. We will discover what factors, beliefs or habits hold you back from the road you want. We will help you in your relationships both professionally and personally.

I specialize in working with people who:

have complex medical/mental health issues for themselves or a loved one. With my nursing background, I can often help with questions, issues and navigating complex health situations.

I became a therapist because:

assisting people, helping people is the ministry for my life.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Most of the therapy I do is virtual. I have a lot of flexibility for time. I offer evening hours and Saturday if needed. I am easily available.

More about me and my practice:

I have worked as a therapist for over forty years and trained social workers for UWM School of Continuing Education for decades.
