“I have been on my therapy journey with Barbara for over two years now and the experience has been nothing less than life-changing. I first began sessions to help relieve my anxiety, but found so much more. As I learned how to understand and work alongside my anxious mind, I uncovered parts of myself that have made my life richer. Not only have I built a confident and compassionate relationship with myself, but also with those closest to me. Barbara's warm, supportive, and authentic approach allows me to explore my life with fresh perspectives and continued growth. Over the years, our sessions continue to be dynamic and thought-provoking. If you are starting your therapy journey or looking to go in a different direction, you've come to the right place! I can't recommend Barbara enough. ”

Getting to know Barbara Wasserman
There comes a time in everyone's life when what you've always done simply isn't working anymore, but you're unsure how to change. It is one of the most challenging parts of the human experience, leaving many at a loss. That is where your therapist comes in. Whether you have been in and out of therapy your whole life or are entering for the first time, I will make the process of starting anew feel safe and comfortable.
With a Master's in Social Work from New York University, I bring both education and empathy to our work together. We will uncover the underlying issues your present challenges stem from. I will guide you to dig deeper into your past, revealing truths about your life and processing them. This work is not easy, but it is essential to getting you to where you want to be. As your therapist, I will walk beside you, supporting you and creating a space where shame does not exist, negative self-talk loses its power, and you feel free to be yourself.
This journey is about healing, self-reflection, and growth. You will deepen your sense of self, gain a greater understanding of where you come from, and build more confidence in where you are going.
Let's begin.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with clients who may be struggling with wanting to change their current state of being, but can't find their way out. This could be an addiction, relationship issues, or history of family trauma. During our initial sessions, we will dive deep into the issues, where you come from, and how you got here. We will collaborate on the change process, focusing on understanding followed by action.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You can expect us to take a deep dive into your history, your family dynamic, childhood, and past relationships to build a strong foundation for what brought you here today. From there, we will work to identify patterns and core beliefs. Clients can expect sessions to be challenging, insightful and supportive.
