b. bloom psychotherapy
Hi, I’m Barb Bloom, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, and the meaning of it all. I also work with women who are navigating mid-life transitions.
My clients appreciate the safe and comfortable atmosphere where they can share heavy emotions, gain a new perspective, build confidence, learn skills, and grow to accept all their complex parts.
My approach is psychodynamic with a trauma informed lens. For me, therapy is a unique relationship with clients looking to heal.
What is the first session going to be like?
The first time you meet with a therapist can be weird. Here is this complete stranger asking you to share your secrets - the stuff that's really hard to talk about. How are you supposed to do that?
​
My role is to help you feel safe, to be someone you can trust with the hard stuff.
​
Here's what the first session might look like:
-
Check in to make sure you're OK
-
Chat about things that interest you
-
Review your intake paperwork
-
Answer any questions you may have
-
Begin talking about what brings you to therapy
​
In my experience, it takes about 4 sessions to build the trust necessary to share deeply. If you think you are ready, let's meet!
