About

Barb O'Brien, MME

Center for Change is the private practice of Barb O’Brien and is based on the deep conviction that change is possible.

Much of the pain and difficulty we experience in our lives and relationships today began in the past – influenced by unspoken rules we learned in our family, painful or traumatic experiences we had that involved our peers, family or significant people in our lives. These rules and experiences create feelings of shame and inadequacy, leading to negative self-talk and resolved grief.

Using a holistic approach that attends to the physical, emotional and spiritual elements of a person, I am fully committed to my clients’ success. I work to create a safe, nurturing, respectful environment where I combine wisdom, humor and insight as I partner with my clients to help them reach their goals and highest potential.
