When you change your relationship with yourself, everything else follows.
Sometimes life feels really hard. Not because you’re doing it wrong, but just because life can be like that. Or maybe you find yourself stuck in the same patterns no matter how hard you try to change them. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
I'm Barbara White, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly two decades in private practice. I work with individuals and couples throughout California via online therapy, bringing warmth, depth and a deeply personalized approach to every client I work with.
I believe in the transformative power of this work — it's a process I've committed to in my own life and continue to embrace. I'm not here to fit you into a model. I'm here to help you find what actually works for you.

Nearly two decades of helping people change.
I became a therapist because I believe that knowing yourself — truly knowing yourself — is one of the most valuable things a person can do. Not just as a means to an end, but because feeling and experiencing life deeply matters.
I'm continually moved by our capacity to change and grow, no matter how inadequate or painful our early lives may have been. That capacity never goes away.
