I had Dr Howard- Hunt for my therapy session. Being my first time of trying therapy, I was quite nervous. I didn’t have to be. Dr Howard- Hunt made me feel at ease from my first encounter. She is God sent! I asked for a Christian therapist and I was literally blessed to have her. I completed my sessions a much better person. I will highly recommend her.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Struggling with depression and anxiety. At first I was dreading counselling. I sometimes feel irritable and unable to communicate. However, I found Dr Barbara Howard excellent for listening and suggesting ways I can help myself.
Dr. Howard-Hunt is such a good human through and through. Her wisdom, experience, and love for people comes out in all she says. What a gift she is to the world!
Dr. Barbara has been a great help in my journey towards better mental health. She listens carefully to my concerns and always makes me feel seen and heard. I appreciate her ability to provide practical advice, strategies and techniques that I can use in my daily.
Dr Barbara is kind, attentive and professional. She has really changed my outlook on life in a short period of time. I’m really grateful we are working together. I highly recommend her.
Barbara made me feel easy to talk to, she listened to my experiences and problems with an empathetic ear but was ready to come up with alternatuve perspectives. I really enjoyed her goal setting weekly targets.
Unlike other therapists, Dr Howard-hunt can truly listen and weed out the most important and pressing issues for people who are overwhelmed by lots of information or anxiety in daily life. She is understanding and working with her is so easy, it really is benefitting me and I’m seeing tangible and feeling based improvements in my life so far
