Barbara Sachs, Ph.D., MFT, raised her two children as a single parent, integrating her passions: parenting, spiritual life, and psychology. She has studied and practiced both Western and Eastern traditions, and has trained in Object-Relations Theory, Family Systems, Psychosynthesis, Gestalt, Rogerian work, and the work of D.W. Winnicott.
She has been a practicing psychotherapist in the San Francisco Bay area for over 23 years. She served nine years on the faculty of the Graduate School of Transpersonal Psychology at John F. Kennedy University in Orinda, California. She served as Clinical Director at the University's Transpersonal Counseling Center and taught courses in Clinical Psychotherapy.
The culmination of her work came in the Ridhwan School, home of the Diamond Approach®, where Barbara was certified as a teacher by A.H. Almaas. (The Diamond Approach, developed by A.H. Almaas, a contemporary spiritual teacher, is a spiritual path aimed at maturity, self-understanding, and the love of truth in the context of living an everyday life.)
In addition to her work with private clients and students, Barbara conducts ongoing Evolution of the Soul consultations, workshops, and groups for therapists and parents.
