What inspired Barbara to take the leap into being her own boss? What challenges and joys has she experienced in the process? Read on.
Tell me a little about your practice…
I am a sole practitioner with an office in my home, in Mechanicsville, Pennsylvania. I live on several acres surrounded by tranquil farms and tree-lined properties, so it’s a very peaceful, private setting. I provide individual, family and group counseling for children, teens and adults with an emphasis on improving interpersonal relationships and family dynamics. My years of experience as a school counselor, educator and victim’s rights advocate, gives me strong insight into issues affecting women, children and families as a whole.

Thanks so much Julie for sharing Barbara Flor’s story. I left a community mental health agency in December 2012 to begin full time private practice, so it was especially helpful for me to hear from another fairly recent “risk taker.” Many sites are helpful in providing sage advice from seasoned private practice therapists (which is unbelievably helpful,) but there was something uniquely comforting hearing from a therapist that successfully made the leap not so long ago, has a wonderful and inspiring attitude.
Thanks again,
Jennifer Bressler, LPC
