Discover your personal power. Transform your life.
Awaken…
Mindfully navigate life’s challenges with greater wisdom, understanding, and improved emotional control. Mindfulness is the technology with which we read ourselves, and self-literacy occurs when we understand what’s going on in our minds and bodies. It allows us to skillfully calm our nervous systems, to sense our deepest feelings, to be aware of our happiness, and to savor life’s wide-ranging experiences.
In a safe, accepting environment, I help my clients and students transform chaotic emotions into clarity of mind. I guide individuals toward greater balance in their lives, enabling them to hear and follow their hearts. I support people in cultivating self-awareness and resilience, inspiring all toward greater self-compassion, while encouraging growth.

Tap Into Your Resilience Through Life Mastery Skills
Bounce back from life’s challenges with greater wisdom and understanding. Empower yourself through mindfulness, improved emotional control, connectedness to others, and the ability to ride the waves of troubled times without making an already difficult situation worse.
Resilience can be cultivated through exercising “Life Mastery Skills” which include mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, problem solving, and distress tolerance. This translates into decreased anxiety and depression, improved relationships, and the ability to set and achieve goals.
I look forward to assisting you in the discovery and cultivation of your personal power, which will result in both growth and relief from the challenges facing you.
Words from My Clients
“I have been seen by Barbara for the past 2+ years. Ever since I started attending sessions, I have seen consistent, positive progress that is due, in large part, to the therapy I have participated in with her. She has been immeasurably helpful at guiding me through past traumas, life transitions, and current, highly distressing times. She has continued to be gentle with me yet is not afraid to remind me of fallacious thoughts that arise day-to-day.
I truly can't say enough good things about my experience with her. Anyone would be lucky to work with Barbara in any capacity - whether through 1-on-1 therapy, mindfulness/meditation classes, and more!”
— Amy
“Taking a class from Barbara was the first time I realized that the goal of meditation wasn’t to achieve a “peaceful monk mind,” but to coax my attention back to the present moment, time and time again, with grace and kindness. She naturally expected me to be imperfect and taught me that the wisdom is in the practice; there are no gold stars for perfect scores. What a revelation!
With her encouragement and support, I’m re-establishing my meditation practice. And if I fall out of practice, well, I’ll begin again…”
— Sheryl
“Barbara Scoville has been my therapist for over 15 years. During that time, she helped me face and manage numerous challenges, including conflicts with and loss of friends and family, changing jobs and professional paths, and the everyday chaos we are all often living amongst. Her ability to understand and guide me on a path of constant self-discovery and improvement has truly changed my life. While she didn’t always share what I wanted to hear, she did share what I needed to hear in order to be a better version of myself.
Further, she introduced me to new perspectives and coping skills that have enriched my experience. I’m still seeing her, and can’t thank her enough for all she has done for me. I’m sure my family would say the same!”
— Danielle
“Learning about meditation and mindfulness from Barbara Scoville has been a very positive experience for me. Barbara's calm demeanor and thorough knowledge of mindfulness makes for a perfect instructor. She has helped me many times become more grounded and step away from the drama that has stormed in my mind, to see more clearly what is important.”
— Kandace
“Barbara challenges me to be the best person I can be with kindness, understanding, and compassion. Her perspective and wisdom have truly been a blessing in my life.”
— Stephanie
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Barb for over a decade. She has shown me incredible kindness and empathy as we have worked together. She has listened, taught, and guided me to healthier life habits. She is incredibly knowledgeable and shares that knowledge freely. I am forever grateful for her wisdom.”
— Koreen
