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.
