MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Barb Nasser-Gulch, MA, LPC
I’m Barb. I’m glad you’re here.
Have you ever Googled things like, “Why do I feel so overwhelmed all the time? How do I stop being so stressed out? How do I get out of this cycle?”
Maybe that’s where you are right now: trying to understand why you get triggered out of nowhere — your reactions take over before you can think — all your feelings fusing into one big blur. You're trying so hard, but nothing shifts. Knowing what you want — but not being able to get there.
If any part of that feels familiar, you’re in the right place.
Our work in counseling is about several things: looking into the past to discover the origin of when we started to lose a sense of ourselves, connecting to versions of ourselves that we try to hide, and learning to break free from patterns that keep us feeling like we live in circles.
I would love to connect with you and find out if we might be a good fit to work together! I love my work as a therapist and the lasting impact it has on my clients.
Let’s work together to discover the deeper reasons you feel stuck and how to finally begin to heal!
“…but nothing that bad has happened to me.”
Maybe you’re thinking:
Healing is not about labeling, blaming, or comparing your experience to anyone else’s.
Healing begins when you simply start listening to what hurt.
Difficult past experiences—even the ones that you may see as small or insignificant— have shaped how you see yourself and others.
Deep subconscious beliefs, unwritten family rules (like “Feelings are weak” or “We don’t allow anger in this house”), and survival strategies you developed to gain some measure of acceptance, love, or safety (like trying to earn your worth by being perfect) are all still alive in you.
These unseen forces are still actively shaping how you react to your current circumstances and relationships—and keeping you stressed and stuck.
Let’s get to the bottom of what hurt you—together—so you can heal.
Trauma isn’t what happened.
It’s how what happened affected you.
My Story
What began as a personal healing journey has evolved into something more. My own therapy and deep healing changed how I show up with people.
What I learned in that quiet inner work now travels farther than I ever expected.
I hold a MA in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan and Ohio. I run my own private practice in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area and see clients virtually.
I am an EMDRIA-approved EMDR-trained therapist as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).
