"Barbie is a talented and creative therapist. I particularly trust her expertise and ability to connect with children and their parents. Anyone I send her way confirms she's the real deal for getting help. The programs offered through Catalyst are excellent, too. Calm Crusaders is an exceptional anxiety program that serves an important underaddressed need in children. As a clinical/school psychology trainer, I can say Barbie is a fantastic colleague as well, who prioritizes mentoring and training. She has generously been a guest speaker for my school psychology graduate student classes and a research partner/mentor for my doctoral students. An exceptional clinician and colleague."
