Hi love — I’m Barbara, LMSW, therapist + creator of Mental Nesting.
If you’re here, you’re probably someone who gets it.
You’ve done the therapy.
You understand your patterns.
But in real life, your nervous system still hijacks you — your throat closes, your chest tightens, your brain floods.
And you shame yourself for not being “further along.”
Here’s the truth:
This space is not therapy, not a replacement, and not an invitation to ditch your therapist.
It’s the bridge that makes your therapy insights stick in the moments you actually need them.
Your root struggle isn’t lack of awareness — it’s that your body goes offline when it matters
My work is where the gap closes.
Inside The Nest, you get borrowed safety, pattern clarity, and embodied practice that complements your therapy — never competes with it.
If you’re tired of healing alone between sessions, you’re in the right place.
This is where your tools finally become lived experience.
