Dr. JoAnne Barge, Los Angeles CA

I have never had a more positive experience in therapy than I have had with Dr. Barge. I came to her at a particularly low point in my personal and professional life. She was always frank in her feedback, providing me with professional guidance in how to better my life, my relationships, and my career. She also made excellent recommendations for outside reading to continue my progress outside of our sessions. I can't say enough about how appreciative I am of what she has done for me.

Dr. Barge is a highly competent and respected professional. I would recommend her when it comes to the field of substance abuse, treatment and prevention. I have a friend she treated for a substance abuse issue which spanned over 40 years.
Her knowledge and ability to provide the necessary steps, as well as treatment to get my friend on the road to recovery were invaluable. Because of her involvement, my friend has been able to lead a much more productive and fulfilling life. His relationships are also more meaningful, now that he is no longer self-medicating. I highly recommend Dr. Barge to anyone experiencing
abuse or dependency issues. If you utilize her services your chances of recovery will be significantly improved.

I have been seeing Dr. Barge for a couple of years and have nothing but positive things to say about the tools she's provided me and how she skillfully navigates (what feel like to me) tough situations. I actually had to pause our appointments due to a change in employment, but recently picked back up remotely once COVID started to really impact my mental health. Reached out when I was in a pretty rough place and she was able to schedule me in that same week. I look forward to our appointments each week and am SO grateful for her thoughtful approaches for a spectrum of issues I've brought her. We all know how important mental health is to our quality of life, but it wasn't really apparent to me until I started seeing positive changes and realized how much HAPPIER I could be - she's literally been a live-saver for me and all of my relationships.

Dr. Barge has been a wonderful and professional help throughout difficult times!

I’ve known of several people Dr. Barge has helped. I’ve seen her make a significant impact in a very positive way. If you or your loved one has been struggling with substance abuse/addiction, you must see Dr. Barge! With her knowledge and experience she is capable of not only saving relationships and marriages but in some cases lives!

Dr. Barge has been a solid presence in my life for many years now. When I first came to her, it was in desperation. Her guidance has helped me lead a life in which I am no longer hiding, but instead am more truthful about my own desires and needs, and more willing and able to share that with others. She has always treated me with respect and dignity, and has always been supremely professional. She knew what I needed at what moments, and she always knew how to help me help myself. If you're willing to put in the work, you will see amazing results with Dr. Barge. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.

Dr. Barge is very professional, caring, and gets to the heart of the matter fast. She will set you on the path to achieve your dreams and goals.
