Barbara Labinger

Hi there, I'm Barbara!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor based in California. I relate to clients with a mix of compassionate listening and down-to-earth dialogue. I earned my Master's of Arts (MA) from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA, between August 2008 and December 2013.

My focus

I've worked with a broad diversity of individuals, couples, and families. I particularly resonate with people and relationships with a foot in two or more worlds. This includes first and second-generation immigrants; cross-cultural couples; genders, sexualities, and relationships that fall outside common definitions; and major life transitions.

My approach

My approach to therapy is eclectic, primarily what's called 'client-centered.' My toolbox includes body awareness, mindfulness, and expressive arts. It's my belief that the relationship is the most important factor in successful therapy.
