Finding the right therapist is a personal journey
Barbara J Shock MA, LMFT
At The Shock Connection Counseling, I am committed to empowering individuals on their journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. As a psychotherapist, I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to support and guide you as you take meaningful steps toward lasting change.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but even the smallest spark can ignite transformation. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I provide a compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach is founded in empathy, dignity, and self-compassion, helping you regain confidence, strengthen relationships, and cultivate a grounded sense of self.
With over 30 years of experience as a self-employed entrepreneur and the founder of The Shock Connection, I bring a unique perspective to therapy. I have served as CEO and CFO of two successful businesses and have spent the past five years dedicated to helping clients reclaim their sense of wholeness. My mission is to create a space that balances warmth with bold empowerment, supporting you in transforming pain into possibility.
