Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy

“I’ve been seeing Barbie for a few months and I’ve been making some big changes. She specializes in attachment issues and has helped me heal a lot of past hurt. If you’re willing to do the work you’ll do very well here.”

“I have been a client of Simply Being for almost a year. In that time I have seen tremendous personal growth and have been better able to deal with traumatic events from my past.  My mood and attitude are better and my relationships with others have improved dramatically. It has taken lots of work on my end but the guidance provided to me by Christie and the tools she has provided me have made a huge difference in my life. I am grateful for the support and encouragement I have received, and know thanks to Simply Being  I am a better person and much healthier mentally.”

“Dr. Barbie is the kindest most effective therapist I have ever worked with. She is knowledgeable and practiced in a wide variety of modalities and seems to always be learning and improving on her skill set. I highly recommend Simply Being Therapy for anyone in need of mental health guidance and especially those who seek a trauma informed therapist.”

“This group {Body Talk] gave me a safe place to land every week—free from judgment and I was able to completely focus own my own individual process. I always wanted to come to group. It never felt like an obligation.”

“I’ve been seeing Barbie for 15months for parenting, attachment and somatic work. I’ve experienced the range of her support, teaching self-soothing, self care and space that allows for all parts of me. Both online and in person has been really valuable.”

“I’ve been going to Simply Being Therapy for two years, and I can’t recommend this incredible practice enough. Dr. Katelyn has truly helped me find my way back to myself. Her knowledge, compassion, and expertise have given me so many practical tools to stay grounded and regulated in a world that isn’t always kind. I have so much respect and admiration for her and this amazing, woman-owned practice. Simply Being Therapy is truly exceptional. Highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend Sara Balter for couples therapy. It is different. She meets couples exactly where they are—whether you’re looking to strengthen an already good relationship or heal deeper resentments and improve communication.

Her approach goes beyond traditional trauma-informed talk therapy, integrating somatic work, nervous system regulation, and hypnosis and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) when appropriate. The experience feels deeply human, thoughtful, and transformative—not clinical.

If you’re looking for real depth and lasting change, I can’t recommend Sara enough.”

“Working with Barbie and also with Christi, has been such a wonderful gift to give myself. Both are knowledgeable, resourceful, empathetic and just good people.
Best therapists ever!”
