Rate Barbara Hershberger

Barbara is kind and helpful. She is also committed to the application of God's word in addressing the spiritual and mental challenges of sin, past present and future. It is good to have a counselor who does not simply want you to have whatever you want to have.

I started counseling begrudgingly, with the hope it would ease at least a small degree of the anxiety I was starting to feel daily. I had no idea how far I would go and how much better life could feel. Barbie was absolutely a big part of that success and realization! She is quite calm and gentle, but knows how to prompt you to push yourself and shift your perspective. If you're thinking about taking the jump and starting counseling, do it. I couldn't be more grateful for this journey!

Barbara is AMAZING. At the very beginning of me enrolling in BetterHelp I was skeptical about the whole therapy thing. Towards the middle of our first session together she made all the skepticism go away. She is a great listener and a great therapist. I am extremely fortunate to have been matched up with her.

Happy to work with Barbara on my struggles. She has truly helped me overcome many difficulties.

My time with Barbara was fast but extremely productive. She is kind and extremely encouraging. Happy to recommend speaking with her!

Great so far, only 2 sessions in.

My therapist is patient, kind and compassionate. Barbie encourages me to go beyond my comfort zone while helping me navigate the unchartered waters of parenting a teenage girl.

Barbie is the first therapist I have ever worked with, and after 8 months of working with her, I can confidently say that I highly recommend her! She has been so accurate at identifying things for me to work on, and she has been so helpful by giving me the tools to help me work on myself. I appreciate how she has always held space for me and has allowed me to be be fully seen and heard. My life has been changed for the better. Thank you so much, Barbie!!

I love having Barbie as my first therapist! She has been such a huge help to me in so many ways. I always appreciate our sessions and how I feel so seen, heard, and understood after them. Thank you for all that you do, Barbie!!

Our sessions have been incredibly enlightening and helpful to my wellbeing. I had no idea how looking at something from a different perspective could be so life-changing! I highly recommend!

She's very caring and a great listener.

She is an amazing counselor! She helped me reframe my experiences and change my perspective on things that have happened in my life. She is very caring and listens well!

I was so nervous to try BetterHelp, but then I met Barbara. She listens and respects your thoughts and has thoughtful responses, not just generic ones. So glad I stepped out on a limb to try It! Loving my experience so far!

Barbara is the BEST! I have avoided therapy for years for fear of not wanting to hear generic phrases "Its all going to be okay" "Things work out the way their supposed to", etc. Barbie is insightful, listens to hear - not to respond, she is kind and gentle and won't force you to talk about or do anything that you aren't comfortable with, but encouraging enough, and supportive enough to get you to move outside of your comfort zone and do things you never would have imagined. Barbie is a #1 VIP in mental health wellness and support!
