Dr. Trish Henrie-Barrus is is a absolute light and joy to work with. She is a gifted doctor and educator. Her ability to inspire, encourage and uplift is incredible. Three years ago my children and I decided to live a life free from abuse. Dr. Trish has been guided us through some of our most heart breaking challenges and greatest joys. She inspires me each session to reach for my dreams, dreams I had never even thought possible. She is encouraging me towards a path of positive healing. She has helped me see that life is about letting go of everything you think your life should look like and celebrating it for everything that it is. I would recommend Dr. Trish and Riverwoods Behavior health to anyone who is looking for help and guidance in their lives.

Joanna is the best. So helpful and I feel like I’m on the road to recovery. She’s very knowledgeable and a great listener. It took a lot of courage to see a therapist after struggling for about three years but I’m so glad I decided to start therapy!

Terrible experience. Customer service is confusing. The therapists cancel on you and then you get charged for appointments you never had.

I have seen therapists in the past, some were a good fit, and some were not a good fit. In the last few months I opened the space in my life to see a therapist again at Riverwoods Behavioral Center. I have been able to find much needed clarity and peace where fog, fear, and anxiety have dominated my thoughts. It has been a lot of work which has been made easier with the support, tools, guidance, and insight from my therapist. She asks the right questions and we have open conversation, she applies the tools she gives me into her own life, and she leads with kindness but is not afraid to call me out when I am exhibiting unhealthy behavior or thoughts. I strongly recommend seeing her, it has made my life so much better!

Dr. Henri helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. She is a fountain of knowledge and wisdom. She taught me so much about myself. She is compassionate, caring and wonderful at her job. Her secretary always greeted me with a smile and a little treat from the candy dish. I always felt at home and free to speak my mind. I highly recommend her to anyone!

I started seeing Dr. Henrie-Barruss as a Therapist and councilor to help me to cope with my chronic pain issues and to help me stay on track with my medication.I feel so lucky to have found her when I did. I had no idea the challenges chronic pain would bring me!I just want to let people know that if you are thinking of seeking help from someone in this field, you can go in to see her with an open mind and an open heart, she can and will help you. I was honestly blown away at her willingness to share her own personal struggles in her life to help me see or understand what she was trying to teach me. I can and do tell her everything and anything and I have never left her office feeling judged or looked down on. In fact its just the opposite, I leave knowing I have 1 Dr. in my life who really does care how Im doing. I know I also have gained a friend who cares and is supportive. She has an incredible amount of knowledge in so many aspects of life that do go beyond just talking to me as doctor and patient. It is because of her willingness to be so open she has gained my trust and I am totally comfortable sharing anything with her. Anyway, I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with whatever! She really is a one of a kind Dr. who you will be so lucky to have in your arsenal when it comes to fighting back against the many challenges that exist in our world today.

I’ve seen Trish off and on for a while. I’m going into the field and understand the importance of therapy. Even when I’m just feeling stressed from school friendly advice is just what I need. She is such an understanding and kind person, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Haha! Yeah Whitney V, its totally normal to write multiple pages of slam poetry over a therapist that didnt quite fit! I wish I had time for that, but I have a job ;) Trish has been a great support and guiding hand throughout my life, if you want a friend with professional advise, shes a great choice.

I came and saw a “professional” here that I had been working with. She kept asking me how I wanted to handle my challenges when I didn’t know because she wasn’t telling me what to do. I came for that help and left without it. The meeting ended after literally 5 straight minutes of her yelling at me because it was inconvenient for her to return a to call me for an emergency situation I was in over the weekend. News flash, it’s your job. Very awkward and made me feel very upset when I’m not in the best emotional state. Never going back, I trusted this place too.

Shes great! Effective listener with good insights. Honest and a very good therapist

Last November, I saw Dr. Henrie-Barrus for the first and only time. And though Ive tried many times to write about how hurt, misunderstood, and illegitimized I felt after that session with her, I never felt like I was getting my message across. Normally I wouldnt put this much effort into a review. But the thought of Dr. Henrie-Barrus treating clients that are in a vulnerable state terrifies me. During my session, not only did she spend 1/4 of my session talking about her testimony of the LDS Church (which I had told her that I had left), which was highly unprofessional, but by the end of the session, I had to run to my car to cry because I had never felt so judged in my life.I wrote a poem about my experience. If anyone is thinking of seeing Dr. Henrie-Barrus, I just ask that you read this first.I walked into her office,Sat on the waiting room chair (the one that looked comfortable)As a hurried secretary, eyes darting to me, said Fifteen minutes.I waited.Moved to a different chair.As that secretary turned therapistAsked why I was there.I told her I didn’t want to be married.I was sad.Only you can change that, she said.But have you gone to the doctor becauseNew research shows thyroid problems lead toSadness.You might not be depressed.I said, no.She tilted her head.Placed my case in Unhappy WifeFiled me under DepressionAnd I swallowed.I said, I lost my faith that my husband still keeps.And I struggle with what to believe in.Her eyes crinkled, yet the hardness stayedAs her smile stretched in its condescension.I still have that faith, she said.Let me teach youWhy men can speak for God.And how I still believe.While you don’t.You poor thing.While I watched the clock and listened.The end arriving at the twenty minute mark, my lips starved for speechThe pain in my chest throbbing from my heart’s exposureTo an indifferent spectator.The person trained to help me.I said, I’m scared I’ll hurt myself.I’m not eating.And my brain feels bruised from the punches I throw at myselfEvery nightMy loathing risks my chance of sleep, escape every night.That I wish was permanent.Don’t give up, she said.Not looking at me.Not looking anywhere.While the walls whispered the echo of that phraseThat was said by her lips hundreds of times.And I felt like a burden.Though a fire rising in me reminded meI was not.She turned around, handed me a list of articlesAnd asked if I’d heard of Brene Brown.I had.Have you tried a gratitude journal?I have.And her pride puffed as my gaze between my knees saidHer half-assed methods weren’t working.This woman’s attempts to cure me with others’ wordsThat I’d already triedTo stop the rocking back and forthTo hear soft voices instead of those that stab.To remember what normal felt like.Because most people don’t want to die.And I was happy once.Regardless the monologue persistedWith the methods I’d tried.And with that woman standing there,I felt a growling in my chest.A protector burning crimsonAs my eyes narrowedAnd I saw what Indifference looked like.I felt my eyes crinkle, my smile stretchHer apathy mirrored in my face.While a mother lion circled around me.Its contempt palpableFor anyone that would hurt me.Yet her loveGave me something to hold.

Charged me without Consent two separate times months after any appointment I had with her and never even notified me that I would owe anything before she claimed I hadnt paid. Also tried to talk to me about selling her programs during my therapy sessions. Bad experience. I don’t recommend going to her.

I have been struggling with chronic illness for 23 years and have seen every doctor under the sun. Some cared more than others, but eventually they all gave up at not knowing how to help me. As luck would have it, I ended up here to try the Integrated Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy program after hearing how it helped my brother. Dr. Trish Henrie and the nurse Jentry have both been amazing to work with! Dr. Henrie takes time to counsel me before my ketamine infusion and has walked me through some of the hardest therapy Ive ever had in my life. But its worth it! And Im not even to my third week of treatments yet. Already I can see improvements in my pain, anxiety, and depression. I wish I could put it into better words how much Dr. Henrie has helped me. Shes been extremely supportive, understanding, non-judgmental, and patient. Her advice and wisdom will stay with me for the rest of my life and I look forward to continuing to work with her.
