How Long will Treatment Take?

What About Insurance?


It depends (sorry- it's not a cookie cutter process).


The length of treatment can vary depending on individual
cases. Research shows that the systems approach 

is highly effective, tends to be shorter term (15-20 sessions) although it can be shorter or longer depending on your needs.  Clients report a high degree of satisfaction (98%) with Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT). EMDR treatment  (depending on the extent of negative experiences and Trauma can be resolve many problems with as few as 5 sessions.
Due to so many recent changes in the insurance industry, you must specifically ask your insurance provider if you have mental health benefits. If you have a PPO, ask them if Karen Barry, M.F.T, LMFT is “in network”.  If not, you should ask if you have “out-of-network” coverage.

I'll work with you to assure you get the therapy you need.


Couples counseling is not typically a covered benefit since relationship issues are not considered "medical" problems.  If one person in the couple already has a mental health diagnosis it's possible to use your medical insurance if you have mental health benefits.

"I began seeing Karen when I was facing extreme challenges.  Karen's comforting yet analytical approach helped me change my life.  She helped me find the courage inside of me that I needed to lean into my fears.  I'm happier, more content and more optimistic than I can remember.  I couldn't have done it without her...she is my angel."
​

What my Clients Have said

"Karen is warm, practical and has provided me a lot of insight". 

"As a medical professional I trust Karen enough to recommend her to my patients."

"I always feel better after seeing her.  All week I think about what we've talked about and I've started to put her suggestions into practice."

" It helps just having a 3rd party listen."

"It helped me that she has worked in corporate America.  She understands the stress I'm going through."

"She helped me years ago with depression.  Now I'm married with kids and I've come back in because a new 
problem has come up."
