Can't say enough good things about Dr. D'Amato. I started seeing her for grief earlier last year, but in the past year we've talked about so much more than that. She's the perfect combination of comforting, reassuring, (amazingly) perceptive, and logical. I really think the balance between the empathetically understanding my feelings and presenting logical solutions (that word might be too strong, more like new approaches to try -- she doesn't try to impose her own views of right vs. wrong) is a winning combination for working through past traumas, and just making me a better person in general.

More about Dr. Barbara D'Amato, PsyD
Working with individuals, families, children and teens for the past 20 years, I have come to learn that we all want to be understood so that we may live healthier, more productive lives. Often times however, conflicts and repetitive behaviors prevent us from finding the satisfaction we desire. Depression, anxiety, and a host of other self defeating conditions or behaviors can emerge that interfere with basic relationship success and can cause work, or school related difficulties. My approach is to work closely with you through any issues, in an atmosphere of acceptance and support, designed to address your individual needs.
I specialize in the treatment of loss related experiences, which can include a spectrum of conflicts resulting from loss of a job or career, relationship break-ups, loss of a loved one, illness, questions of self worth and self esteem, and adoption and infertility issues.
My experience has led me to conclude that talking, in a therapeutic environment, is one of the most powerful agents of change.

Dr. D'Amato was extremely empathic understanding and professional. I felt surprisingly quite comfortable opening up to her & I am not normally inclined to.

I had a very comfortable yet highly professional visit which afforded me the opportunity to talk about my issues in a spontaneous yet focused manner. I feel Dr. D'Amato established an ideal rapport and overall therapeutic atmosphere which greatly contributed to my wish to continue working with her
