Barbara Jean Nagrant, PhD, is a compassionate psychologist dedicated to guiding adults and elders (65+) toward a more centered, motivated, and creative life. Recognizing feelings of disconnection and dissatisfaction in her clients, Barbara fosters a dynamic and supportive therapeutic relationship to help them navigate life's challenges. With over 20 years of clinical experience, she empowers individuals to identify their truth, compassionately accept themselves, and discover more fulfilling responses to their circumstances. Barbara's therapeutic approach is rooted in experiential exercises that enhance awareness of the mind-body-spirit connection, while exploring how self-discovery influences interpersonal styles. Passionate about integrating these elements, she has a track record of successfully working with survivors of trauma, particularly those affected by sexual abuse, as well as individuals facing chronic digestive health challenges. Her diverse clinical skills include movement, breath work, meditation, mindfulness, energy techniques, visualization, and hypnotherapy. Barbara's qualifications are complemented by her EmbodiYoga Teacher Training, energy work certification, and training in biofeedback and spirituality. She actively volunteers with organizations such as Casting for Recovery of Western PA, the Pittsburgh Pathwork Board, and the TRUST Project, reflecting her commitment to community and healing.
