Barry Herbach, LCSW

Executive Strategic Coach | Psychotherapist | Trusted Advisor to Leaders for 30+ Years


Who I Am


I help executives, founders, and consultants navigate high-stakes decisions, hidden power dynamics, and complex leadership challenges.

With over three decades of experience as a psychotherapist and strategic advisor, I offer my clients more than advice — I provide clear, actionable support in situations where the stakes are high and the solutions aren't obvious.


What I Do


You won’t find generic coaching here. I offer targeted support designed for leaders who need clarity, leverage, and results — fast.

I specialize in:

  • Strategic Decision-Making

  • Executive Coaching & Leadership Development

  • Negotiation Strategy & Influence

  • Power Dynamics and Organizational Politics

  • Crisis and Career Inflection Navigation

Whether you're leading a team through turbulence or making a critical decision, I help you cut through complexity and move with confidence.


Who I Work With

My clients include:

  • Executives leading fast-moving teams or organizations

  • Founders navigating internal chaos or growth

  • Consultants managing complex negotiations and stakeholder dynamics

They come to me when they’re overwhelmed, stuck, or under pressure — and need a strategic partner who sees what they can’t.


Why I Chose This Path


I began my career as a therapist, helping people manage trauma, anxiety, and emotional overload. But I quickly realized something deeper:

Power — and the ability to use it wisely — is central to everything.

Over time, more professionals began seeking me out — not just for emotional support, but for help navigating power, influence, and high-stakes pressure. I found that my ability to see the unseen, read motivations, and bring psychological clarity to complex situations had unique value for leaders.

That’s why I do this work:
To help leaders lead more strategically — and win with intention.


Let’s talk

I open a limited number of private coaching spots each quarter. If you're facing a critical decision or leadership challenge, we should connect.
