Endorsements

I worked closely with Dave Barry for several years at Abbott Middle School in San Mateo, CA, a school of over 800 students. I was the sole School Counselor, and Dave was our extraordinary and beloved School Safety Advocate. He lent his warmth, counseling expertise, and general support to the students, their families, and the school staff alike, and we were all richer for it. I can't imagine having had a better partner.

Dave is a wise and caring counselor whom I trust with both my life and the lives of people within my organization. He’s worked both with me and our organization to help people understand themselves and work towards a path of emotional and mental health. I highly recommend him!

Dave Barry established a partnership between the Christian Counseling Center and Alma Heights Christian Schools, where I serve as Head of School. Dave coordinated excellent seminars for parents and for faculty, and he managed the placement of an excellent counseling intern who served at our school. He also served on our Board of Reference, making himself available to us as an advisor on counseling related issues. Dave's excellent professionalism was matched by his passion for counseling and care for our school community.

In more than 20 years of ministry career, I have worked with thousands of children, youth and adults and trained hundreds of staff members. As I have encountered people dealing with tough situations or personal challenges, Dave has been instrumental in working with both groups and individuals to help them face past trauma, current fears and daily struggles. Dave has impressed me over and over again with his steady force, kind heart and enduring patience as he has worked with clients to dig deep and unpack previous wounds and injuries and resolve difficult and uncomfortable issues. Personally, as I have worked with Dave, I have enjoyed his thoughtful questions and insightful observations which have led me to making better personal and professional decisions. I highly recommend Dave to anyone who might be struggling with any issue or just wants to seek some clarity in their life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you an in-network provider with my insurance?

I am an in-network provider with MHN/Health Net. I am also able to work with most PPO insurance plans.

What is the difference between a Therapist, Counselor, Psychologist, and Psychiatrist? And who should I see?

If you are unsure about what provider or service you need it is always best to start with an assessment.

My child is really resistant to the idea of therapy. What should I do?

It is very common for children, particularly adolescents, to show resistance to therapy. This resistance can be due to a number of factors, but for most, the idea of therapy is new and many are unsure of what it actually involves.
