Barbara Witkow 425-442-0324
1309 114th Avenue SE, Suite 310, Bellevue, WA 98004
Niche Specialty©: Transitions (life changes). Life transitions that create new identity struggles. When life turns out “different than expected” it can be the result of a divorce, job loss, relationship meltdown, or family disappointments. It’s hard to know how to move through the flood of emotions that may emerge with the chaos. I work with clients to uncover old, outmoded belief systems that no longer work, and identify their authentic self that may lay hidden beneath these beliefs.
Location: Bellefield Office Park
General Practice Area: I work with individual s, couples and families who struggle with depression, anxiety, transitions, childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, grief & loss, divorce, and mid-life crisis.
My work is based in depth psychology (Jung) exploring the unconscious and spiritual motivations that direct our life choices without our conscious knowing. Dreams, images, symbols and stories (belief systems) all provide insight into our unconscious and help us learn more about who we really are. Learning basic psychological concepts helps to inform clients about their own psyche and helps people to understand and appreciate their unique issues. I am also a trained Lifespan Integration therapist, working with neural networks in the brain to rebuild and strengthen neural pathways that results in easing anxiety, stress, childhood traumas, and calming the nervous system so that deeper emotional work can be effective.

around you and your children look scared, even before you lose your temper, or if
your sadness feels bottomless. ♦ If there is no turning back once you think
about doing something, you can’t keep promises to stay out of trouble, if
situations suddenly erupt, without any plan or expectation, or if you’ve been
swept up by an urge and done the same crummy thing--again. ♦ If one
too many stresses have pushed you over the edge, and you surprise the people who
know you best by losing your usual confidence and normal optimism and given in to
a depressed or worried funk. ♦ Psychodynamic orientation,
accelerated dynamic therapy approach.

defense of either parent in Family Court cases. Dr. Dixon has also
testified in behalf of individuals charged with misdemeanors and
planning deferred sentences or deferred prosecutions with mental health issues, for example in
shoplifting cases. Dr. Dixon sees adolescents charged with

ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, etc.) for issues related to competency to
stand trial, mitigating circumstances and possible "diminished capacity"
