Professional Speaking

“I invited Barbara to speak to my group practice about the Self of the Therapist. Barbara’s authenticity, presence, and wisdom shined throughout her presentation. She clearly has a strong grasp of the Internal Family Systems model and how it applies to the therapeutic relationship. We all felt her calm, confident presence and my team was grateful that she provided tools and insights that can be used immediately. Priceless! I highly recommend Barbara for any workshop or speaking engagement.”

“I made a generic Facebook post, requesting a customized training for my staff. Barbara responded effectively and efficiently, providing all of her experience, and why she would be a good fit. After meeting with her to discuss the opportunity, I knew she was the one! Barbara was able to customize a training to meet the needs of my team and deliver the information in a relatable way. I look forward to working with her in the future!”

“I completed the Sand Scenes: Basics, Benefits, and Bringing It into the Therapy Room training taught by Barbara and was very impressed. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have completed many trainings over the years, and found this one to be one of the best. Barbara applies hands on learning with lecture, interaction and power points. She covered all of the bases for a comprehensive and enjoyable experience. I gained new information that I will utilize in my work with clients and sand trays. I would highly recommend taking her courses and am looking forward to the next one!”

“I had the pleasure of attending a workshop conducted by Barbara Sheehan-Zeidler this past week. I can’t say enough good things about her!! It was professionally done, she’s a skilled and effective instructor, she puts her heart into every moment and helped each of us become better at what we do. If you ever have an opportunity to attend an event that she is facilitating, DO IT! You’ll have a great time, learn a lot, and you’ll get to know someone who will be one of your most meaningful resources.”
