Welcome to Reason To Believe Therapy!
In-Person Counseling for Women in Tacoma, WA and online in Washington State
Hello, I’m Barbie Nevin
I’m not your typical therapist with all the fancy words; I’m just a regular person who wants to help other women like us. I’ve had some wild, inspiring, and beautiful experiences, and I know that life is messy and horrendous at times.
I’m not about one-size-fits-all solutions; I’m here to figure out what works best for you. I approach our journey together with an open mind and a willingness to explore what resonates with you. We'll move at your pace, uncovering strategies that align with your unique needs and aspirations. No pressure, no judgment – just honest guidance and a whole lot of support.
Whether navigating the challenges of raising a family on your own, rediscovering yourself as your children leave the nest, reimagining your career, or working through the shadows of past traumas, you're in the right place. I appreciate your unique situation and am here to provide a safe space where you can heal, grow, and thrive.
What Makes Me Different
Life isn't always smooth, and we all need a safe harbor to navigate its ups and downs. At Reason to Believe Therapy, I specialize in providing compassionate support for women at various crossroads. Here’s what makes me different:
Tailored for You: My approach is as unique as your story. No matter where you are on your journey, I customize strategies to fit your specific needs and aspirations.
Experienced and Compassionate: With a solid background in counseling and a deep understanding of women's challenges, I bring a wealth of wisdom and empathy to every session.
Transformative Healing: I’m not just here to listen – I’m here to guide you toward real, lasting transformation.
Imagine embracing your inner strength and owning your true self. I'm here to help you dig into what's been bugging you, do something different with those heavy thoughts, and steer through this adventure of self-discovery. We will turbocharge your confidence, boost your resilience, and remind you just how strong and capable you are. And we might even have a few laughs along the way!
I Work With Women Who Are…
Experiencing Major Life Transitions
Major life transitions can come in many forms, such as becoming an empty nester, going back to school, or relocating. One of the most difficult to navigate life transitions happens when we lose a relationship that has been central in our life. While these times of change can feel daunting and emotionally overwhelming, therapy can help you navigate the transition to your next stage of life with confidence and renewed positivity.
Grieving Loss
Grief is not a linear process. It has it’s own timetable and may not always make sense to us. Grieving is a normal response to loss, but it can feel as if it will never end. Therapy can offer a space to process the loss. With empathy and compassion, I’ll help you see your way to the other side and find hope again.
Navigating Trauma
While there is no doubt that healing from trauma is possible, it is a deeply personal and unique journey. By honoring what the healing process looks like for you, I can assist in processing emotions, building resilience, and creating a safe space to foster gradual recovery and renewed hope.
Struggling with low self-esteem and self-acceptance
Low self-esteem can affect all aspects of your life, including physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Self-esteem is essentially the thoughts you have about your own value, therefore there can be no self-acceptance without positive self-esteem. Therapy can help you recognize and banish negative self-talk and unhelpful distorted thinking patterns. I’ll show you how replacing them with positive and more accurate alternatives can literally change your life.
Telehealth or In-Person - You Decide!
I know life can get busy, and your needs are unique. That's why I’m happy to offer you the choice between Telehealth and In-Person sessions.
With Telehealth sessions, therapy comes to you, wherever you are. Whether you're cozied up at home, taking a breather during your lunch break, or traveling for work, our virtual sessions allow you to connect seamlessly. Telehealth adds convenience and ensures continuity in your healing journey, making counseling accessible and highly effective.
In-Person sessions offer you the chance to connect face-to-face, creating a warm and inviting environment where you can express yourself freely. If you enjoy having a designated space for self-care, my cozy office is here to welcome you.
Whether you opt for Telehealth or In-Person sessions, you get the same high-quality, personalized care. The therapeutic journey is about your well-being and growth, and I’m dedicated to helping you achieve that, regardless of the platform you choose.
