Courage Health & Wellness

“From the first appointment I felt listened to and supported. The office is calming and I leave feeling more confident and grounded. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for help with their anxiety in the Fredericksburg area. Everyone I’ve met at the office has been very welcoming and kind.”

“DO NOT SEE BARBARA HORN!! I was a client of hers from 2019-2022, these are the highlights. -diagnosed some she'd never met (my ex) with BPD and told me "you can't be friends with BPD". Funny since she specializes in emotional regulation. -when I discussed concerns of possibly having autism, I was dismissed immediately (despite my sister being diagnosed and it being genetic and her knowing this) and told that I couldn't have autism because I wasn't cognitively disabled to the point where I needed assistance in my day to day life. -after I came out as transgender, never once used the correct name or pronouns and actively dismissed it in my therapy notes. Encouraged me to "radically accept who I am now and avoid labels". -also claimed another person she'd never met was faking having DID and spoke about him in an extremely condescending way. There's a lot more, but I don't want to make this review too long. Why is this important? Because all of the above show that Barbara does not care about the reasearched and scientifically backed methods of treatment for her clients or about the therapeutic code of ethics. My mental health did not improve while I was her client, and I believe that she was a contributing factor. If you want treatment that will actually work for you or the adolescent in your care, avoid Barbara like the plauge!”

“I am grateful to this office. They are very kind and helpful. My therapist is Jason Gray, I have been seeing him for about four months and have been noticing a difference while uncovering core issues holding me back. I plan to continue my journey with him as I've learned so much about myself and have been given tools to help me manage my stress. Thank you!”

“This is, by far, the most warm and inviting healthcare office I have ever been to. Bonnie at the front desk is amazing. We were already nervous about counseling, but her kind and genuine nature immediately put us at ease.”
