Retraumatized me, violated standard of care, did not act in my best interests and continues to blame me for treatment failure. She has favorite clients; I am not one of them.

I have been seeing Dr. Ottenhoff for a few years now and she is exceptional.
After seeing many therapists throughout my life I have never had the genuine care, empathy, kindness and validation that Barbara has given me.
She is a safe haven for patients that need help and support.
Highly recommend.

Decimated my life. Lacks integrity. Maximizes on fear and anxiety to hook patients into treatment. The most manipulative person I have ever encountered.

Treating a few clients exceptionally well in exchange for positive reviews (unconciously projecting and manipulating) in no way invalidates past behaviors.

I've seen many counselors through the years, but no one compares to Barbara Ottenhoff. She is warm, compassionate, and deeply insightful. She helped me work through past trauma with a level of expertise I've not experienced before. I developed trust in her quickly and easily.She literally saved my life!
