About me
I am Barbara (I go by Barbie) Hershberger and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is licensed in Kentucky, North Carolina and Michigan. I received my Master's degree in Social Work from Boise State University and have bachelor’s degrees in both Social Work and Psychology. I have worked extensively with people who face challenges and concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, life transitions and trauma, among others. I believe in the benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, faith-based therapy, if requested, among other models of therapy used as appropriate. My counseling style is calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental with a touch of humor as needed. I understands that reaching out for help to navigate life's struggles can be both difficult and humbling, so I am passionate about providing encouragement and support to those on this journey. In my free time, I enjoy quilting, crocheting, traveling on adventures, spending time with my husband of 35 years, and playing with my three small dogs and one 135-pound dog who wholeheartedly believes he is a small dog.
