PERSONAL BIO
Professional credentials are essential to consider when choosing the right therapist, but a therapist’s “personal credentials”, meaning their own life experiences, are also important factors to take into account. Barbara has personally navigated through many of the life transitions brought to her by her clients.
Barbara married right after college, had a son, and then, after seven years, became divorced. While living as a single parent, Barbara met the man who eventually became her second husband, Dr. Robert Reichlin. They married in 1984.
Dr. Robert E Reichlin, (Barbara’s husband)
August, 2018, Barbara and Robert will have been together 44 years. Dr. Reichlin, who, in Barbara’s opinion, is one of Houston’s finest therapists and the finest geropsychologist in Houston, and she, office together in Bellaire, Tx. They are extremely proud of Barbara’s son from her first marriage, his lovely wife, and their 12 year old twins, (Barbara and Robert’s grandchildren), and their daughter and son-in-law, who live and work in Washington, DC.
