Barbara Tolle Cavanaugh, ACSW, LCSW

Introduction: As a psychotherapist, I've been helping families, couples and individuals resolve relationship problems and emotional stresses for more than 25 years. Psychotherapy allows people to live emotionally healthier lives, reduce hurtful behaviors, and enhance coping skills. These are skills which all of us can learn with the right assistance and coaching. I have assisted hundreds of couples to discover the major problem areas and strengths within their relationships, and to fix the distress sources. This often involves learning new healthier methods to interact and taking off hot spots from the past, which intervene with the present. Every now and then, a partner doesn't want to come for relationship therapy. In that situation, I work with the partner who does appreciate the benefit of transforming destructive patterns within the relationship. If a single person changes, the relationship is changed!
