Who We Are

Don Sizemore

We live in a troubled and confusing world that requires a solid, consistent and reliable network of relationships for surviving and realizing our full potential. The importance of relationship on our physical, emotional and spiritual being is something we intuitively know and understand. The author of Genesis stated "it is not good for man to be alone". We are relational beings and science is beginning to document just how meaningful and powerful relationships are. A field of study called interpersonal neuroscience is discovering through research the effect we have on one another's brain. Reflect on this a moment; our being together, especially our significant relationships, affect how our brain functions. How well our brain functions determines how well we function. There is this profound connection then, between how well the important people in our life have and currently treat us, or love us, and how well we are. Our marital relationship, our parent-child relationship, our close friend relationship our spiritual relationship are all significant relationships. Counseling may be one also. It is a significant and effective relationship when it creates a safe place and develops into an interwoven relationship that restores, renews and transforms disrupted and disordered aspects of our being.

Barb Ulaszek

One of the most frequent and consistent comments I hear is about Barb and how friendly and helpful she is. I know when I call an office or an organization the first impression I have is from the person that answers the phone. Today that is most often an answering machine or voice mail. We are no different because Barb is often busy with someone else, either answering questions on the phone, checking someone in or out at the window, or dealing with an insurance company. What might be different is that she is committed to returning every missed call in the same day, and once you talk with her you will understand why people like her so much. She will take the time you need to answer every question and work to schedule the appointment that works best for you. She will do everything she can to make sure you are taken care of. This is the kind of first and last impression we want you to have of Don Sizemore & Associates.

Bard has worked with us since 2004. She attended Southeastern Christian College and went on to graduate from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in Medical Assisting. She and her husband Jim lived in Illinois for 10 years and returned to Kentucky in 1986. They have two children, Beth and Steven. She is active in her church and community when she is not taking care of her family.
