"I am very grateful that Theresa Barker was the court-appointed evaluator in my situation. Her knowledge and expertise about controlling and coercive abuse, including parental alienation and her thoroughness in examining all issues, helped significantly in my family situation and in my proceedings."

"Our daughter left an abusive relationship where she was being coercively abused and controlled by her ex-husband. Theresa explained to the court what coercive control/abuse is and how this form of abuse is intensified post separation. Even though our granddaughter was quite young, the court agreed with Ms. Barker's finding of parental alienation and agreed with her recommendations in full. Our daughter now has primary care and control and the father was ordered to attend therapy. Other stipulations regarding the father were also put in place. "

"I had the privilege of working with Theresa Barker during a challenging period in my family's life. As I navigated a prolonged and emotionally taxing court battle with my former partner, I became increasingly concerned about my son's well-being. His struggles, both academically and socially/family bonding, were evident, and I had an instinct that something deeper was amiss.
Theresa's expertise in parental alienation was nothing short of remarkable. Her keen insights and profound knowledge in this field were evident from the very beginning. She approached our situation with a high level of professionalism and understanding.
Theresa's ability to identify the alienation my son was experiencing was a turning point in our journey. Her discovery was not only instrumental in shedding light on our situation, but it also provided a clear path towards helping my son recover from the emotional abuse he had endured.
Moreover, Theresa served as a beacon of hope in our dealings with a challenging and, at times, corrupt legal/social worker system. Her unwavering commitment to our case and her comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding children's emotional well-being were nothing short of extraordinary.
Thanks to Theresa’s support, my son is now thriving, and his mental health is in the process of recovery. I am profoundly grateful for the invaluable assistance she provided during our difficult journey. Theresa Barker is not only an expert in parental alienation, but she is also a compassionate professional who genuinely cares about the well-being of the families she serves. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

"Ms. Barker was a God-send in my circumstances. I believe that without her family assessment, I would not have had such a profound and positive outcome in my situation. Ms. Barker is professional, easy to communicate with, honest, and committed to restoring parent-child relationships. She skillfully gets to the heart of the matter without being played by the favored parent who is bent on alienating the children from the targeted parent. I would not hesitate recommending Ms. Barker to anyone who needs help identifying and overcoming the impact of parental alienation in their situation."
- Mr. Michael F.
"I was years into a high conflict separation and had exhausted all resources when I met Theresa. I was desperate to protect my child and my relationship with her. Ms. Barker was selected to conduct a parenting assessment. She used her extensive knowledge of Parent Alienation to conduct a forensic based evaluation. She collected evidence and used these concrete facts to base her recommendations to the court. She was decisive and definitive in her conclusion and made appropriate, clear recommendations in the best interest of our daughter. I am forever grateful for her expertise and her contributions to children’s welfare in Manitoba."
