Barbara Faracchio, LPC

---

Background

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in NJ and PA, and a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor in NJ.  I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).  I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology at Temple University and received my master's degree from Chestnut Hill College in Counseling and Clinical Psychology.

Approach

My approach is warm, encouraging, and collaborative.  I have experience working with adults in early and long-term recovery.  I practice trauma-informed counseling and have experience working with clients who are survivors of childhood sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect. I believe our upbringing contributes to how we interact with others today and working through past trauma may help improve present relationships.

Specialties Include:

· Adult children of alcoholics/addicts/dysfunctional family systems

· Co-dependency 

· Communication and intimacy (individual and couples counseling)

· Compassion fatigue (therapists, medical professionals, animal care workers, etc)

· Depression, anxiety, other mood disorders

· Grief and loss

· Issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity

· Recovery from trauma using both talk therapy and EMDR

· Relationship and Interpersonal stress/conflict

· Situational stress and adjustment

I am currently not accepting new clients.
