Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
My practice is a safe, comfortable and welcoming environment where my clients come to work through the challenges they are facing in their lives. For more than 20 years, I have devoted my professional life to helping people overcome their difficulties. My therapeutic style if affirming, compassionate and highly directive. I am not the kind of therapist who sits there and nods at you without ever offering any real counseling. If you are looking for a down-to-earth therapist who wants you to get better rather than keep you in therapy for years on end, we'd be a good fit. The purpose of therapy is to facilitate POSITIVE CHANGE. Let's get to work so you can realize a happy, peaceful and satisfying life.

10 Years Experience
Online in Bakersfield, CA California
Bakersfield sits at the southern end of California's San Joaquin Valley and is shaped by its oil industry and agricultural economy — two sectors with distinct occupational cultures that affect how residents approach mental health and help-seeking. The city has a large and long-established Hispanic community, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists serve a critical access role for families where language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. Kern Medical provides institutional mental health resources alongside a relatively sparse private practice community — Bakersfield has fewer therapists per capita than comparable California cities, making telehealth an important access route. The city's conservative political culture and strong evangelical community mean faith-integrated approaches to therapy are in consistent demand.
