I've been looking for a good psychic for years since moving to LA, and I came across Barbara on Yelp. I went with a friend (we had separate readings) and each of us got to do a full hour session with her. Pretty immediately, I was blown away by Barbara's empathy and intuition! Talking with her flew by so quickly, and I got so much valuable insight on my life. I couldn't write down my notes fast enough. I'm not kidding--and I made sure to tell her this later--but the best way I can describe my experience is by equating it to getting about a year's worth of cosmic therapy in about a hour and a half. Oh, that's another thing: don't be surprised if your 60-minute session turns into 80 or 90 minutes by the time she wraps up. She's extremely generous with her time and really gives you the bang for your buck! read more

I was having to make some major decisions in my life about my future cancer treatments and I felt I needed help from the other side. I had heard of Barbara's work through mutual friends and was a bit skeptical if she'd be able to help since I heard she specialized in contacting deceased loved ones and I didn't have anyone I felt close with on the other side. I decided to give it a try anyways. We contacted my grandmother who had passed away about 4 years ago. I was blown away by how many specifics were brought up regarding her life and the family who is still alive. She started answering my questions before I could even ask them and gave me such clear answers to my issues. I made the most of it by writing out the questions I had about my health and treatments, career, relationship etc and she knew specifics about my life that I'd only told a handful of people and knew some things about me that no one but my husband would know. I made sure to write out the answers during the session so I would not forget them....it can be a bit overwhelming. I left the session feeling more confident about my path and my life, and I felt closer to my grandmother even though we were not close at all during her life. I've been recommending Barbara to everyone since our session and some of my friends have gone to see her and had fantastic readings also. I will say that the success of the reading will depend on how "chatty" the person is that you contact, I was lucky that my grandmother had plenty to say :) Barbara was so wonderful. She has such a sweet and loving spirit and is also very laid back so the session does not feel stiff or serious. We actually laughed a lot through it but she also gets serious when the topics go that way. I felt very comfortable talking with her about very personal issues and she was very sincere and sensitive to all topics brought up. At all times, she made sure I felt taken care of. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to reconnect/check-in/have closure with a loved one, or someone who needs a bit of true guidance. Beware: You will hear the truth and it may not be the answers you were "hoping" to get. i was told "again" that my career path is to be something else than what I've pursued for so long (I've heard this over and over throughout my life)...so sometimes it's hard to hear the truth when you had your heart set on another idea. Enjoy the session and good luck to you all on your journeys :) read more

Psychic Medium Barbara Standish - Barbara Standish - Psychic Mediums Near Me

I've had several reading from Barbara and she is consistently ON POINT!! Very frank, honest and caring. She is lovely and accurate. I will continue checking in with her when I need her fabulous insight and foresight. read more

Very impressed by my initial psychic reading so a month later booked a medium reading. All I can say is just wow. She shared the fact that my bones were weak, she didn't know that I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis and just started infusions after lengthy medical treatment. We connected to several families members recalling no one else would know or understand except myself. She conveyed a relative's questionable passing for what it was which helped with finding peace. Highly recommended & will book again in the future. read more

If you read all my yelp reviews I have ZERO issue in lambasting anything or anyone who displeases me. I have had three readings with Barbara. I have sought the advice of mediums and psychics my entire life and hands down, Barbara is the real deal. Everything she's ever read has turned out to be 100 % true. This includes one thing which I was certain she was wrong about. I was absolutely blown away by her accuracy. Do yourself a favor if you're ever in a quandary and need otherworldly guidance - go see Barbara for an hour to allay your fears and concerns. read more

I loved my medium reading with Barbara! She connected me to a friend that had passed just days before. I felt so much relief & clarity after talking with them. She is the real deal and also brings loving messages from the other side. I have had a few readings from her now and have connected with many people in my life. Feeling blessed to be surrounded by my guardian angels. She knew names of late friends that I had forgotten from my childhood, truly an awesome experience. Her psychic intuition is on point and inspires me to make changes in my life! I would recommend her to anyone that is wanting to talk & receive messages from their loved ones on the other side. She also gives amazing psychic advice that makes me want to try things I never thought I would! Overall my life is better, thanks Barbara! read more

When I first got the urge to go to a medium, I searched high and low for somebody who I thought was a good fit. I yelped, yellow paged, googled, yahood, just about everything and I finally found Barbara. And although she doesn't have as many reviews as some of the other more well known psychics, I got a good vibe about her and knew that I had to pick her. Backlash on people that are in this type of work is always going to be there. I mean, we never TRULY, honestly know what is real and what isn't, and as many people believe that God is real without any proof whatsoever, I also believe in Barbara and what she does. I can't do a science experiment on her to tell if she's lying or being honest, so we have to go with our gut and intuition and say yes or no. I'm sure there are plenty of fakes and frauds out there that are just itching to get into your wallet, but I really don't think that Barbara is one of them. She had the kindest and sweetest heart. She empathized with me and told her own personal stories. And although I paid for only an hour and a half, we talked for nearly three. We had a great connection and I'm SO glad that I came to her. I felt as though I wasn't just a client, but a long lost friend. She knew things that I hadn't told her and that aren't posted anywhere. She took on certain traits of the person we were connecting to on the other side. She told me straight up how things were and what should be done and I felt that the reading was perfect and I got exactly what I wanted out of it. There was no bull shit and like I said, she was completely honest. I can't say much about my own personal experience beyond that, everybody has their own, I'm sure. If you're looking for a psychic medium, I recommend that you completely ignore the 1 star reviews. I'm sure everybody has their good and bad days, and I don't think that Barbara could ever be a "1 star" on even her worst day. She really was the real deal and if I ever need to be guided again, she'll be the first I contact. read more

A close friend of mine tried to convince me to go to Barbara for a medium reading because with Barbara she was able to contact a loved one who had passed. I was somewhat skeptical, but she my friend gave me a reading as a gift so I went. Barbara really made me feel at ease and before I knew it she was telling me things about myself that very few people knew, not even my friend that referred me. She made contact with my Grandmother and Barbara described her exactly and said things that only my Grandma would say. It was a magical experience. After spending an hour and a half with her, I felt so good. I cant wait to go back and make that connection again. read more

I have never spoken to a psychic before, but was always intrigued. I was going through a low point in my life where I needed clarity, which led me to Barbara. Based off of the other reviews, I thought I would give it a shot. I called Barbara and left her a voicemail and hours later, she gave me a call back and set up an appointment to speak with me the following day! In the start of the conversation, I was very emotional due to the dilemma I was in. I thought of a few questions to ask her, but she answered everything I wanted to know before I even asked! She gave me clarity on my relationship and career. She also guided me and talked me through my problems. I genuinely felt like I've known her for years! After our session, I felt so uplifted and liberated. I instantly flipped a switch and recommended her to 3 friends! I even texted Barbara 3 days later to follow up on a prediction that came true and we had a brief catch up on the phone where she continued to assist me on what I should do next. All in all, my first psychic experience was amazing and I'm so glad that Barbara was the one who actioned the reading for me! She's definitely my go to! read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW. She nailed everything! I really don't know what else to say without writing a novel, but I promise to anyone that she's the sweetest real deal out there. She made us feel so comfortable in her little cozy home while we had a 90 minute spirit reading! Please go see Barb, she's amazing! The best money we've ever spent and we ARE going back. Thanks so much Barb!! read more

All my life I've been skeptical of medium readings. Until I met Barbara. During my reading a close friend of mine who had passed came through. For years I had quietly grieved his passing. Barbara never met my friend George and had no idea what kind of a character he was. But when she described his stature, description and how the energy was somewhat flirting with her...I was floored. I knew it was my best friend. During my reading Barbara had told me that I could channel his spirit if our energies were on the same frequency. Later that night after the reading I drove home and spoke aloud asking for my friend to show me a sign. It was real during the reading but could I really talk to him and is he really listening? Within less than minute there was a hip hop song that came on the radio. George used to love hip hop and this song was telling me "you gotta motive get up and keep moving." Exactly what I would've expected to hear from my long lost buddy. Since then I had a very depressing Christmas. I can remember that night I cried briefly and spoke allowed again. This time I said "George help me...I know there's a girl out there for me...she could be anywhere...but I need you to help me find her." New Years Eve that same year I received a comment on some art I posted on Google+ The comment was from a beautiful young lady in Missouri. From that point on we messaged each other everyday at least 200 messages a day. Never in my life did I expect to find her. Months before I was ready to give up on love. Now we've been together for a year now. I moved her across the country and I've never been happier as long as I've lived. I credit Barbara for helping me see what I couldn't believe. I feel closure after all the years of grieving the loss of my best friend knowing that his spirit is very much alive and keeping an eye on me. If I never had this reading I can't be entirely sure my life would've shaped the way it did. I'll always be grateful for Barbara as long as I live. read more

Had such a bad experience. I'm not sure why a women in her later forties living in a two bedroom apartment with a roommate thinks she can give life advice. I was able to get a partial refund through PayPal. read more

I met Barbara through a mutual friend a few years ago. The first time I saw her was in a group seance with her and a few other ladies. I was blown away by her abilities to know specific details about the person who passed on, and give insights into my life that were beyond her personal knowledge. I got to talk to my grandma and it was so nice to know she is still with me. I get so much from seeing her and always feel enlightened after having a reading with her. She never sugar coats things but tells them like she hears from the spirits, but she always provides possible solutions so you don't feel stuck. After my first session with Barbara my outlook on life changed. I am no longer afraid of death, or miss the people I know who passed on to the other side too much anymore. Thanks to Barbara's gift, I know they are with me and all I have to do is say their name and their spirits will be around to guide and listen to me. Barbara is a great sweet person too. She's the real deal! Thank you Barbara all you do, you're truly amazing! read more

Barb is the real deal. In addition to knowing her personally for over 25 years, I have also retained her professional services for over five years during key moments with both my career and personal life decisions. During the time I've worked with Barb, my income has more than doubled as a result of looping her into my contract negotiations and key milestones in my professional growth. read more

I have had two readings with Barb and each were spot on and erased any doubts I may have had. I was able to connect with loved ones, know they were there, and get peace of mind and feel their love. Barb's rates are extremely reasonable and the time and energy that she puts into her readings can be felt for days. If you are on the fence or have any questions, I highly recommend any of her readings. read more

FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!! I should have known by all the BAD comments (that are somehow no longer here) that warned me over & over again to NOT get a reading. I also beleive that all the "good" reviews for her are fake as well...she must pay a company to put these untrue comments on here!! There was not even ONE thing in 2 hours that she got right!!! I also recorded the whole 2 hours...SUCH A WAIST OF MY TIME & $150...DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY TOO!! read more

Barbara is a truly amazing psychic. Her connection to the other side is undeniable, and I'm not necessarily someone who believes in or follows this kind of stuff. My girlfriend was getting a reading at our house and I happened to walk through the room, when Barbara picked up on a new presence around us. It turned out to be my (deceased) grandfather interrupting the session. It was unmistakably him, down to the hat he used to wear. I was so amazed that I ended up getting my own reading later. After having a reading from Barbara I had a strangely fresh perspective on my life and life in general. It almost felt like therapy, in an incredibly positive way. It was a very illuminating experience that taught me a lot and gave me more insight than I ever would have expected from a psychic reading. Honestly I thought that kind of thing was mostly bogus before my session with Barbara. I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in growing their own vision and gaining invaluable insight into this experience of life. read more

Barb Standish is the real deal. She's almost like an intuitive counselor because her connection to spirit is so strong. She basically imparts valuable information and guidance directly from spirit that helps you to shift your energy in whatever area in life that comes up during the reading is. Of course, it's ultimately up to you to decide your own fate but she sure can help point you in the right direction. She's plugged in. For all you naysayers out there, whatever you put into the reading is what you're going to get out, just like anything else in life. After having come out of a painful divorce, I sought her counsel on finding love again. A boyfriend whom I loved dearly a long time ago and who passed suddenly without warning came through in my reading. He told her to tell me to 'place my order' for a mate, which was very funny because he was a chef in life and that play on words was just like his sense of humor, so I did. I said out loud all the characteristics I was looking for in a mate. This was in early March 2013. Right after that, I tried online dating for the first time in my life after being married for 20 years. On May 9, 2013, I met THE guy. An intention was set during that reading and I made steps to make it happen and THE guy showed up. Barb helped facilitate the process by putting me in touch with my spirit helper with her gift of channeling and clairvoyance. I've since gone back to her for guidance and reassurance and that same boyfriend came through again. This time she imparted a message from him that whenever I start worrying or feeling anxious about THE guy to sing a funny song because it's all moving in a positive direction and it actually is. read more

I've been to other intuitive people before and Barbara is the most deeply connective person I've encountered. A close friend shared her personal experience with Barbara and I couldn't wait to get in for a reading with her. I wanted to contact my grandmother and grandfather, who recently passed away. She was able to describe not only their physical appearance but their personalities as well. Overall, it was a cathartic experience that served as a therapy session in some regards. I left feeling relieved, confident and at peace. Whether you need closure, enlightenment or just miss someone who passed away, I highly recommend a reading with Barbara. She is not only talented with a very kind and giving heart, she goes above and beyond during her readings. read more

Prior to meeting Barbara I had never been to a medium or a psychic of any description beyond a tarot reading. It's not to say that I was skeptical, but that I was open and then legitimately alarmed at the accuracy and specificity of the information that she channels. I understand it's common for a lot of intuitives to give broad, general readings that can feel a bit unfocused or as if they can apply to any situation or subject. This couldn't be further from the case with Barbara. I highly recommend mediumship if you are so inclined. Barbara has a powerful gift with connecting with loved ones who have passed on. It's comforting how their innate characteristics come through in the reading. The messages are always helpful, comforting, and honest. Barbara is the best, go see her! read more

Barbara is great. She knew, saw and described things that I know for a fact we never talked about. Barbara is the real deal. If your looking for a medium look no further. My reading left me feeling full of hope and love about the future. Thanks Barbara! read more

Gawsh. REALLY disappointed. I've been to a few mediums and this was by far the worst. I really would love to give a good review because she was kind and friendly, but I paid 150 bucks of my hard earned money to get a REAL reading. I'm not one to say anything bad about anyone but I just can't let others get duped like I did. This is just such a personal, emotional situation and I felt robbed. I wanted to walk out after the first 30-40 min but I didn't want to insult her. Seriously, it was pretty bad. She asked TONS of questions trying to get info out of me which she did, and went on that which went nowhere. Not supposed to work like that. I just feel that people go to mediums to get in touch with their loved ones and are willing to pay a lot of money for it. I don't need to pay my friends because they are kind and friendly. That's all she was. Don't get duped like I was. I don't even want to give 1 star. Fraud. Don't like people who take advantage of others. read more

She was amazing, My mother passed two years ago and came through in full force of her spirit and essence. Barbara speaks to you with a gentle grace that allows for a peaceful and welcoming Experience; She has a true gift. And this comes from the perspective of a complete skeptic and non believer. It just shows you that if you let down your barriers; anything is possible. Thank you! read more

I was a bit apprehensive upon scheduling, but Barbara immediately made me feel comfortable and further explained what would take place. Within the first five minutes of doing my reading, she described a person and situation with complete accuracy! Throughout the reading I was amazed at her accuracy and insight. I would definitely recommend Barbara!! read more

Wow! My life feels different after Barb did my reading, more vibrant and hope filled. It's hard to find the language to explain what it feels like to get in touch with loved ones that have passed to the other side. I'm so grateful for her gift. I urge you to get a reading from her or join one of her many moon circles...I'm in Seattle so I haven't gotten to sit in the circles. Spirit is alive and well within us! read more

I heard about Barbara through two friends who went to both her medium reading and a private psychic reading. After hearing their stories, I decided that I wanted to go to her for my first psychic reading. Barbara made me feel extremely comfortable and explained how the readings work. I was totally surprised by her abilities and most importantly, her sincerity...which is rare to come by in Los Angeles. She gave me great insight on things in my life that I have been contemplating for a while. When I left I felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I will always recommend Barbara to anyone who is seeking a psychic reading. She's absolutely wonderful! I'll definitely be seeing her again! Thank you Barbara! read more

Pretty disappointed. I debated for a long while before reaching out for my reading. I feel like I was asked a lot of questions to get information and then 'friendly advice' was given vs a physic reading being done. She is an extremely kind and friendly lady and if you need a 'friend' to talk to, I recommend her but if you are looking for a psychic reading - I am not sure this is the place. read more

Best of experience I've ever had. Been to a few and she is by far one of the most talented psychics I've ever done a reading with. Really got me back on the right path, and got some pressing issues resolved that I badly needed clarity on. She really cares and wants to help. Complete empathy for your situation combined with the kick in the ass you need. She tells it like it is. She doesn't give you a general idea but rather a detailed plan to take your life in the right direction. I will definitely be talking to her again. She is beyond the real deal. read more

I have had two readings with Barb. My first one was a physic guidance reading. This helped me make some decisions during a difficult time in my life and was exactly the answers I needed to move forward. It helped me clear up old patterns as well. Barb says things in a way that makes it all click. Then I did a second medium reading and spoke with my Dad. Everything was right on the money. She even mentioned something to me and when I went to my Oncologist, she repeated the same thing back to me, verbatim. My husband and I just looked at each other since I shared that info from my reading with him prior. I know she is the real deal and that I was absolutely speaking with my Dad. I love Barb. She is real and down to earth. I felt like she was a friend. I highly recommend any service she offers. Spending time with her is enjoyable. She is very generous and kind. My husband even did a reading after my two, and that is saying a lot! He said, "she is the real deal." I will continue to refer her and go back to her. read more

I was having a horrible time trying to figure out what was wrong with my German Shepherd girl. She was ailing and I couldn't understand what was wrong. A friend recommended Barb and I made an appointment immediately. Even through the phone, Barb could ascertain the personalities of my three dogs and she was able to keep them separate. She talked to Sophie and Sophie started smiling (the first time in days!) and it turned out the little brat had been naughty and had gotten into a losing argument with bees/hornets/wasps. She was able to give me great insights on my other two dogs as well. Funny thing, when Barb was talking to me about one of the dogs, the dog in question would be looking at me and smiling. How do they do this stuff? I highly recommend Barb for whatever your needs may be. read more

I was hesitant to visit a medium, but had an amazing experience during my reading with Barb. It was incredible - she nailed all sorts of family dynamics and details that totally blew my mind. She made me feel totally comfortable with the whole thing. I highly recommend seeing her and have suggested that many of my friends do. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect but was very happy with my visit. Barb is truly gifted and was able to connect me with loved ones and help me get the answers I was needing. Loved every minute of the reading and can't wait to return. read more

Unbelievable Amazing! Before I go into details let me pre-face that my father died when I was 12yrs old and my mother died 1 1/2 years ago. I am now 30. I came to talk to them, however I NEVER imagined she would bring forward my Mom, Dad, Grandmothers, and Uncle I never met! I never had mentioned this to Barbra prior to our meeting or during it. I have so many details I could write forever, however I will describe in clips. I have never been to a Psychic Medium before. I was actually very skeptical going and finally my friend made me the appt. because I could not stop talking about wanting to trying it. So I went with an open mind, and ready to hear what she had to say. I arrived at Barbra's house and she was very sweet and welcoming from the start. She told me to get comfortable and to relax as she described her process and how she is able to speak with spirits and how she herself started with being surprised she had this wonderful gift. She never asked who the person (or persons) were that I was wanting to connect with or what the reasons were. She just asked me to confirm things as the spirits were telling/showing her. So we together could put the pieces together. Before we even began she told me a spirit had been with her since the AM (my appt. was at 4pm) and she "wanted to know if he was here for me?" She asked me if I had male in my life that wore" business suits and was always running? Or on the go?" -I confirmed yes. She then asked " Is this man very tall?" I confirmed yes. She said ok this man is here for you.... Now I know that sounds very broad and vague, but then she began her reading. She said this male keeps showing me "you as a child-sitting on his shoulders and playing?" Does that mean anything to you?- I said yes again. She then asked if my father worked at a very private intelligence/secret type of job?" - I confirmed again. She many other details/messages to describe my father (I won't go further into details) My Father not only was a business man who traveled ALL the time and on the go, but he would put me on his shoulders, walk me around and almost knocking me off going through doors because he was so tall, he also worked for the government. She then asked me "if I had a sister or someone very close to you (women) that passed?" I said yes. 'She shows herself sitting in a chair?" does that mean anything to you? Because normally that means they are sick. - I confirmed yes. I told her that was my mother and she was sick - she also had a specific chair she sat in (no one was allowed to sit in her chair)....That was ALL it took- my mother burst thru SO strong that she started to SOUND like my mom!! Had her gestures, described her friends that she wanted to leave messages for! As I was crying Barbra suddenly said " Tell her to stop cryin, she's going to ruin her make-up" My mother always told me that, and the fact that she sounded like her freaked me out (in a good way)! Barbara was sure to mention that not all spirits come through like this (this strong) and she even looked excited by what was happening! I had only one question for my mom and dad and that was if they had come to see me once (I had felt it-physical)? Barb said "your mother wants to tell you -yes that was both of them" Do you know what that means she asked? In tears I said yes. She asked if I was "remodeling or building something?"- I said yes- she asked "are you doing it yourself?" I laughed and said yes my boyfriend (we just bought a house and remodeling our Bathroom) - Your mother told me to tell you "leave him alone & let him do his job!" She then was able to bring forward my Uncle, who told her that "she has never met me" (I have not) and to "please don't judge him" ( he had a disturbing past) which blew my mind! She let me talk to my Grandmothers as she spoke about past memories no one would ever know about! Just all amazing! For any of these review that are saying she is a Fake..THEY ARE WRONG! I would go back a thousand times! She put me at peace. Thank you Barb! I can't wait to see you again! read more

I spoke with Barbara several months ago for a phone reading. She is quite personable and down to earth. She is the real deal!!! She said some things that didn't make sense to me at the time, but a few months later-everything was clear. I will consult with her again. Thanks Barbara! read more

I found Barbara on Yelp during a time where there were a lot of uncertainties in my life and some paranormal activity that was getting harder to ignore. Not having been close to anyone that has passed away, I never felt a strong need to connect via a medium and instead sought out a psychic consultation with Barbara. Our first meeting was on the phone and she made me feel very comfortable and open to receiving the information she gave. During the reading a dominant spirit was bursting through and almost distracting at times. From the information she conveyed, it was my maternal grandmother. After that reading, I felt a sense of curiosity, peace and comfort in the information that was given to me and decided to meet with Barbara for a medium reading a month later. I can say that she is very gifted and more than that, she is very warm, sincere and is more concerned with giving you messages and information that you need to hear rather than anything else. I was excited by the timelines she gave and the "homework" as someone else referenced and have already confirmations of things she said would happen in the immediate future. I look forward to future readings and highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for answers or to connect with someone that has passed on. read more

I had a wonderful phone reading with Barb recently. She was accurate, insightful, and provided me with great advice. She is very gifted, kind, and just a delight to speak to. I had never had a reading over the phone before so I must admit at first I was skeptical but she proved that location is irrelevant. It felt like she was right there in front of me. I highly recommend a reading with Barb. You will not regret it! read more

I had a reading yesterday from Barbara,and it was the best.I went in for a reading to connect with my love who has passed.I was nervous when i went in,i didnt know what to expect ,but right away she welcomed me into her home,she was so kind ,made me feel comfortable .My nervousness soon went away.She has this vibe that just made me feel at ease right away.I would say not even 5 minutes into the reading she was already saying everything on point,i knew for a fact my love was present .She was bringing up personal stuff that only My love and i knew about,it was really comforting knowing he was right there and with me everyday .She made me emotional ,but in a good way,she put my heart at ease telling me that my love is good up in heaven.in his words "im good".I did not want my reading to end,when it was already coming to an end i was getting this very sad feeling because i did not want it to end i wanted to keep talking to my love i wanted to hear more from him .I wanted the reading to last forever,Loosing the love of my life has been the hardest thing that ive had to go through ,once i left her home i felt so relaxed like a weight was lifted off my shoulder i have been carrying so much pain since his passing and i will forever have pain but she just helped me put my heart at ease She made it all so perfect ,the money i paid was very well worth it ,i will definatley be seeing her more.Thank you barbara for my reading ,your truly gifted. read more
