Testimonials

The world had stopped during the first year of the pandemic, just as I was transitioning careers with a baby on the way. Therapy with Chalon did well to help get me through the uncertainty of unemployment as well as prepare me for fatherhood with tools and advice to build my confidence, something I've always had a struggle with. I’m very thankful for the sessions we’ve had in the past year.

I initially came to therapy because of my childhood abuse. I had buried it but not confronted it and I needed help in doing so. My mom had moved away and I finally had a chance to breathe and look at my life through my own eyes, so there was no better time. Chalon helped me not only confront my abuse but share my abuse with my family when I was dead set on taking it to the grave, a HUGE milestone for me. She kept telling me about the other side- a place I never thought I’d get to but I am happy to say I am now living on that other side without that burden and with healthy boundaries.

While working with Chalon I feel listened to and I am provided with non judgmental care. When I started working with her I had just started my school program and I was having some of the worst stress I have ever experienced. She helped me learn coping skills and how to mange my stress.I also have borderline personality disorder and she is helping me learn both distress tolerance and how to strengthen my relationships. She is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and overall a safe person to talk to.

I find myself constantly overloaded with stress and anxiety. Working with Chalon has helped me to identify and manage negative thought patterns. As someone who is normally very guarded with my emotions, I was surprised at the ease with which I was able to discuss sensitive topics and feelings with Chalon. I have found that simply saying things out loud can help to change my perspective and reevaluate my feelings. I often don't feel like participating in therapy, but this melts away once the session begins and I always come out feeling better.

I found Ms. Barnett by chance on psychologytoday.com. The process of not only scrolling through various profiles/backgrounds/modalities and then the possible call saying they were no longer taking on any new patients, was indeed a test of patience. Chalon, for some miracle, accepted to take on a highly anxious, heartbroken, exhausted adjunct professor with more side jobs than imaginable to remain afloat in an expensive city. She not only has provided me with the reminders to take it slower, but regularly inserts the proper tools I had unlearned over time. Who wouldn't be grateful for a therapist who laughs and quotes some of the greater minds? Ask for the homework assignments. They are akin to winning free popcorn at your favorite theater that has finally reopened. Thank YOU, Chalon.

I came to Chalon in 2019 after my father died from an alcohol-related death, I went through a breakup and lost my job within a month of each other. I was totally lost and deeply depressed and not able to relate to the world that I thought I knew. I had tried a few other therapists before Chalon but none had connected with me so instantly and empathetically as she had. After working through the initial grief - which was probably the most difficult time of my life - Chalon and I kept working together. Over the past 2 years she has helped me identify patterns that need to be changed and I can honestly say that I am the happiest and emotionally healthiest I have ever been. She continued to work with when I was unemployed through COVID and I am so grateful for the work that we do together. She is kind, empathetic, understanding but also takes the time to explain the science behind how the brain works (which I really appreciate) I am so grateful that I found her!

I met Chalon in the middle of the pandemic. I was an essential worker contemplating a very serious job change at the time. No voice in my life could have been more soothing, supportive, or discerning than hers in that moment. I looked forward to our sessions every week and still do! I always left feeling like I could do these really big and scary things because she helped me see that I could. I also trusted her to help me sift through some of the most complicated decisions with care and no judgement. I value the perspective that she gave me so much. I will never be the same after knowing her.

Chalon is a true professional with an extent of knowledge. She has personally helped me through some of my very difficult times with her approach, guidance, encouragement, and expertise. I am much, much stronger and happier now with her help. I have seen other therapists in the past that really did not help me. I am truly thankful and grateful to Chalon and her help for me.
