Bernard Barsky

Hello, I'm Bernie Barsky. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I am dedicated to helping adults and seniors navigate through the challenges of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and complex personal relationships. I firmly believe that the cornerstone of effective therapy is the trusting relationship between counselor and client. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. You will have my full commitment to your well-being, and together, we will work to overcome the 'stuck places' in your life and help you achieve your goals.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals. My experience in various public roles has equipped me to support the successful reentry of ex-offenders into the community. If you are a returning citizen, you will find me to be a compassionate and supportive partner in your journey.

My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which I find highly effective in addressing a wide range of issues. However, I also integrate techniques and insights from psychoanalysis, family systems therapy, and narrative therapy to tailor my approach to your unique needs.

Whether you're dealing with anger management, navigating life transitions, exploring gender identity, or coping with PTSD, I am here to help. My approach is holistic and client-centered, ensuring that we address not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of your struggles.

I invite you to reach out and take the first step towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. Let's work together to create positive change and achieve your personal goals.
