About Barbra

I’m Barbra Cottrell, the founder of Revive Relational Therapy. I hold a B.S. in Marriage and Family Studies from BYU–Idaho and an M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialization in Trauma and Recovery from National University.

My passion is psychology, human relationships, and the ways we grow, heal, and connect through life’s challenges. I bring both specialized training and awareness of the limitations and realities of human experience to my work. I met my husband in 2006, and we married in 2007. Together we are raising five children, and growing through all the stages of family life. Being a mother has been the most demanding, complex, and profoundly meaningful role I’ve had. Motherhood and marriage continue to shape the way I understand children’s needs, family dynamics, and the ever-changing work of nurturing a loving partnership and building a healthy home.

I’ve lived in Colorado most of my life, though I’m drawn to the ocean and seek it out whenever I can—the salty air and rhythm of the waves instantly ground and restore me, as well as give me perspective. Just as the ocean holds both peace and turbulence, my own life has carried both stability and demand for change. I was born into a high-demand religion and have navigated the difficult and often painful journey of leaving that faith and its practices. This personal experience has given me a deep understanding of religious trauma and the unique challenges it can bring to one’s mental health and relationships.

In my work, I combine clinical expertise with lived experience to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for individuals, couples, and families. Whether I’m sitting with parents navigating their child’s struggles, couples working to reconnect, or individuals searching for clarity and healing, my goal is always the same: to honor your unique story, meet you with empathy, and walk with you toward growth and renewal.
