Therapists in New York

Barry earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Yeshiva University, his Master of Social Work (MSW) from Touro College's Graduate School of Social Work, and specializes in the treatment of individuals with histories of anxiety, depression, trauma, and severe and persistent mental illness. He has over 7 years of experience working with adults, the elderly, and their families. He utilizes various therapeutic techniques and methods during his sessions in order to meet his clients' needs and establish a trusting and comfortable relationship. In turn, Barry aims to provide clients with a safe environment in which they feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring obstacles that hinder quality of life, all while working towards the achievement of their short and long term goals. He has worked with adults of various ages across different settings including a mental health homeless shelter and a transitional residence for adults with mental illness. He also has experience facilitating group therapy sessions and mental health case management, both of which have proven to be beneficial to both clients and their families. Barry's experience has helped him focus on taking into account all factors that influence the well-being of his clients. Barry values supportive therapeutic partnerships, assertiveness, and open-mindedness; these form the foundation of his therapeutic style. Each therapy session or family meeting is viewed as a new opportunity to find ways to achieve and promote sustained personal growth.

With a heart of compassion, I have worked in this field for over 25 years. It has been my honor to serve others by walking alongside them, to help them soar and reach their full potential. By working with me you can expect an individual who listens and provides nonjudgmental understanding while collaboratively helping you reach your goals. Many experience life challenges and adjustment issues that lead to the need for enhanced support and guidance. I will provide that support, and help you maneuver through times of life’s reversals through the use of evidenced based counseling tools, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy, and motivational interviewing, for adult populations. I am glad you have taken that step of courage to take charge of your life and move in a direction that will lead you to growth, and mental and emotional wellness.

Hello and thank you for visiting my BetterHelp profile! Here you can take a moment to learn a bit about me and perhaps get a feel for my style. I am certified as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), having earned my Masters of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work. As with the majority of LCSWs today, my approach is eclectic. That being said, I carry a strong belief in the importance of early attachments. My therapeutic style is framed by Objects Relations Theory, which emphasizes the importance of initial relationships. An “object” here is the primary caregiver, most frequently one or both parents. One’s earliest relationship with his or her object(s) has an undeniable influence on the development of self-esteem, which influences relating with every other individual as well as to the self. I have seen this in all of my clients, young and old, regardless of diagnosis. I do believe the effects of these attachments are irrefutable, however I recognize change is always possible, and in many cases necessary. It is also important for me to emphasize my experience working with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). From my observations in both my personal and professional life, most humans alive today have “borderline tendencies,” which translates to “difficulty regulating emotions in interpersonal relationships.” I have become familiar with the stigma carried by many against this diagnosis and therefore relate to these clients without unnecessary judgment. Experience has shown me that I work well with those struggling with regulation of their interpersonal relationships, whether diagnosed or not. I also have experience with client substance abuse/addiction and understand every person’s ultimate need to love and be loved. Presently, I provide psychotherapeutic counseling to adults with traumatic brain injury. These humans now contend with regulating their emotions, similarly to addicts and those with BPD, and can benefit from the intensive approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Finally, I am a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and am passionate about yogic values as they relate to present day therapy. I am experienced in promoting body awareness and in leading meditations. If interested, just ask :) (If our schedules do not seem to align, please write to me and ask for a more fitting time. My schedule can be flexible. Do not let this be the reason we do not work together!)
