Barbra Drizin

Family Estrangement and Conflict Coach,

Barbra knows firsthand how profoundly painful family distance and unresolved conflict can be. Her own journey led her in 2019 to work closely with renowned psychologist, author, and estrangement expert Dr. Joshua Coleman, where she became a certified coach and developed programs supporting those navigating estrangement, alienation, conflict, and deep relational pain. Since then, Barbra has guided parents, grandparents, and adult children through individual coaching, courses, and support groups. Her work blends psychology, principles of Stoicism, nervous system awareness, and healthy communication into practical tools for real life. Barbra is known for making complex ideas simple, meaningful, and usable — especially during moments of emotional overwhelm. Above all, she's dedicated to first healing within ourselves, and to personal growth, so that whatever unfolds can be met with clarity, compassion, and wisdom. Her mission: To reclaim self-esteem, self-respect, and dignity — and learn the skills that allow us to more wisely navigate life’s challenges and circumstances. Barbra holds a degree in education, certification in Positive Psychology and Core Coaching, training in Nonviolent Communication, and ongoing education in nervous system and somatic practices. You can explore Barbra’s story - “A Deep Dive into the Five Most Common Mistakes” - and learn more about her work on her website. She also welcomes you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute Zoom information chat.
