I want to thank you again for all of your support throughout this situation. I really appreciate having both your perspective and support as I navigated this situation, and I feel incredibly grateful for you!
I have so appreciated learning from you Barb and debriefing cases together. I am confident in myself as a therapist and owning the chair, now, thank you!
Barb, I have been looking back through the doc I started where I would capture a lot of our supervision notes, I can’t tell you how grateful I am to have found you ! You have taught me how to ask myself effective questions to solve problems and how to always have grace and compassion for my clients. I have your voice in my head when I talk to clients or think about a situation with a client.
Everything you did with her helped tremendously. Even her coaches and teammates noticed the shift — it was exactly the push she needed to break through to the next level.
A big thank you to Barb for helping me rediscover my confidence on the court. Her expertise and encouragement were pivotal in my sports performance.
My child hated feeling different in school and with friends. His therapist not only understood him but taught him to embrace his uniqueness in a wonderful way, and learn practical tools to identify, regulate, and manage his emotions.
I struggled to make sense of my emotions until I started sessions. Her guidance and support helped me navigate my feelings and find clarity.
Barb made me feel truly seen and understood during our sessions. Her empathy and attentiveness made all the difference in my healing journey.

Whether it’s on ice and or off ice training the mental component of the game is bigger than the physical at times. I believe in sport and in life there are always obstacles, extrinsic and intrinsic. The biggest and most important mental skill I think a person can have is the ability to rebound from mistakes, criticisms and doubt with the confidence that you have the ability to get the job done and to improve yourself every step of the way.

After meeting Barb she changed my life, helping me to reach deeper and find out how to be the person and player I wanted to be even with my set backs with post-concussion & outside obstacles. I am forever grateful for the ongoing support and help I was lucky enough to receive from my coach and mentor Barb Egan.
