Greetings to you all! I am a National Board Certified Counselor with over 15 years' experience in direct mental health counseling. Licensed to practice counseling in the State of New York, I am a member in good standing of both the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Psychological Association (APA). I have worked in the field of criminal justice evaluating inmates at various stages of trauma, particularly PTSD from incarceration, and the social stigma of community based supervision systems like probation and parole. I have assisted veterans, law enforcement officers, teachers, students, men, women, young adults, teens and children to overcome a host of anxiety and mood based disorders and relationship issues. I have worked some of the most difficult client cases in the inner city, but also identify with needs of clients in suburban and rural communities based on my diverse background and extensive experience. I have developed a holistic approach to counseling concentrating on what I call the "7 Pillars of Health" wherein my clients learn to monitor their overall well-being and begin a successful plan and practice of self-regulation. A proponent of Individual Psychology developed by Alfred Adler, and am also quite adept at CBT, Reality Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness methods. As a Christian Counselor I also encourage clients to explore their spirituality as part of the healing process.

A phenomenal expert provoking self-discovery and self-analysis across the spectrum of holistic health and development cycles. Barry melds emotional response tactics, spiritual foundations, and mental methodologies seamlessly to integrate expertise into self-awareness. He can meet one where one is while providing consistent value throughout an engagement both live, and ad-hoc as needed.
Highly highly recommended!

I stayed in therapy longer than I thought I would and longer than I intended too because of Barry. In a good way. He is very caring and can analyze the issues I brought fourth as well as faults or opportunities he saw in me. Barry takes the time to get to know me emotionally and mentally but we also would talk about a lot of other things such as common interests and made me feel like a human instead of a patient of client. His consistency and persistence to suggest healthy coping mechanisms and healthy habits and without being pushy and urgent is amazing. And he wrapped up our time together very well with a summary and some other suggestions. I feel as though he is a friend that has different knowledge than I rather than a client or patient. Thank you Barry for your time. I hope you continue to have strong success in the business.

This past year was difficult for me! A lot of changes and dealing with deeply rooted unhappiness made it difficult to manage my thoughts. With Barry Winley, and his guided therapy, I have worked hard to be at a place in my life where I am thinking clearer and where I prioritize self-compassion and love. He’s amazing and I recommend him to anyone that needs someone who listens with compassion and helps with a pure heart and collected mind!

Barry is someone i feel comfortable and confident sharing the details of my life with. he’s attentive, supportive and very mindful of not only you but himself and that helps engage in more important topics at hand. you can tell he’s had some experiences of his own and that’s what makes him great.
