Psychoanalytic Therapy at Overcomers

Based on the work of Sigmund Freud, psychoanalytic therapy delves into your unconscious mind and past experiences to understand the roots of your current struggles. It often involves exploring early childhood relationships and unconscious conflicts to gain deeper self-insight. It’s a more in-depth exploration of your inner world.

Barb is incredibly kind and patient. She kept the sessions productive and honest. She made me feel heard and helped with problem-solving. Having her as my therapist for the past several years was vital for my personal growth. I highly recommend her services and would happily return as a client if my schedule ever opens back up.

Hilary Helkenn, PMHNP-BC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
