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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Barry is a thoughtful and considerate therapist, able to effectively break down issues and provide a sounding board. I really appreciate his help and always look forward to talking.

Barry is a very talented counselor who has genuine compassion for his clients. I’ve never worked with any counselor, psychiatrist or even psychologist with such lightning quick ability to issue spot and immediately follow a course of therapy which fits the bill. Intelligence and kindness is a rare quality indeed and Barry manifests both.

He’s just the best! He’s helped me grow in sooooo many ways! I don’t think I’d be the person I am now if it wasn’t for him!

Barry, is great and has really helped me navigate my grief so far, highly recommend!

He gives very helpful work and allows me to engage in the way I want without pushing boundaries. So far I have made more progress than I really thought I could

Barry is the greatest therapist, I love his methods so much. I have never really been able to think about myself internally really and emotionally connect with myself until I was able to talk with him. He listens so well and presents me directions I never thought of. I will continue to have him as a therapist as long as I can!

Understanding, unbiased with an ability to help people see other perspectives. Barry has helped me to take a hard look at myself and has helped me to create space for self acceptance and growth.

Barry’s just the best! He understands me on all levels. I wouldn’t have made as much progress without him!

Barry is a great listener and provides great insight in to trauma and how to heal. He gives feedback promptly and has amazing recommendations for continued growth outside of session

Barry is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate therapist. He is able to provide useful strategies and, very importantly, memorable shorthand to help you during challenging moments. He is a trustworthy guide and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Barry is insightful and offers a wide variety of coping skills and techniques to help better yourself and overcome any struggles. His expertise has helped me gain confidence in myself and control over my life.

Barry is very kind and understanding. His listening skills are great! He explains things to me when I don’t understand.

I have had therapy at certain points in my life all to varying degrees of quality. I would rate Barry among the top notch kind of therapist. Not only is he a good listener, but he provides very appropriately helpful 'homework' that directly applies to issues at hand. It reflects both that he is truly listening to me, his client, as well as that he has the depth of knowledge to provide useful information and guidance. I feel like there is a depth of studied academic knowledge in this man. He provides a steady and warm guidance that I very much appreciate. Thank you Barry!

Barry is amazing. He is kind and understands my concerns

Gives great advice, extremely confident

Barry seems very wise and is very caring. He checks in with me between sessions and makes me feel supported.

Barry has helped me begin the journey of my self improvement. I have been slowly becoming more and more the person I want to be because of his help and I couldn’t be happier. The work NEEDS to be done and he is not a magical wizard to whisk your issues away, but he is a tremendous guide in helping you realize which way you feel you need to go

He helps me a lot

Great therapist listens and provides valuable feedback

Barry is very sympathetic and knowledgeable about healthy alternatives and resolutions for conflicts.

He’s great

Barry Wasser is such a positive person and continues to give great advise to inspire me to become that person I use to be. I've had difficulty dealing with some personal problems and Barry has patience dealing with my situation and is a good listener.

Overall I am very happy with my therapist Barry. I feel like I am on a road to becoming more of a person I wish to be. The therapist cannot do it alone. The work has to be done by ourselves and finding a therapist that goes with you is most helpful. I would recommend this service to anyone who is looking to improve certain aspects of their lives that they feel need some guidance.

I always look forward to my sessions with Barry. He’s not the kind of therapist who will just agree with you to make you feel better. He’s good at what he does…he’s super knowledgeable…and if I’m depressed or crying before the session, he always makes me feel better!

In only a short time You are helping me so much. I’m blessed to have you as a counselor. You rock!

Barry was great. I was in a rough spot and not even sure what it was that was bothering me. I think he's very detail oriented, approachable and friendly. I recommend Barry greatly.

Barry is very supportive and always available. He goes out of his way to give you time if needed.

He’s great.

Barry is knowledgeable and compassionate. He offers so many perspectives that I never would have explored without his expertise. His guidance is supportive and encouraging. Barry is the best and I highly recommend his services!

Just started a few weeks ago with Barry but already getting great stuff from Him!

I enjoy working with Barry. He doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable for sharing certain things. He has great knowledge of my issues and always gives me great advice.

Barry has been great at listening to my concerns and is supportive. He has been great at reaching out to me to see how I’m doing and letting me know that I can reach out to him between sessions.

I have had anxiety since I was 11 and I never really got the help that I needed and I also went through a really dark time where I shut everyone out. I wanted nothing to do with talking to anybody about my anxiety and then I made the decision to get help and I started talking with Barry a few months ago and he has helped me overcome so many things in my life. I don’t know where I would be without his help

Barry is a very wise informative person....I respect his input...and advice.

Barry is very helpful and has been a major reason of my mental health progress.

I’ve only had Barry for a few weeks but he is understanding of each of my issues and takes the time to read my messages and thoughtfully provide me with advice. I highly recommend him.

I have had only positive experiences with Barry so far. He is open to listening to anything and everything I have to say, he is able to flow, and his responses show genuine insight, reflection and direction, which all help me to achieve those same things. I like this therapist very much.

Barry is very professional and has a lot of knowledge.

Barry Wasser is an extremely nice man. He listens very well and gives excellent feedback. I feel that he really cares about me and my wellbeing. I am already learning so much from him about how to cope and how to understand why people act the way they do. He has been a great fit for me. My only problem is that I didn't start sooner! I can't be more grateful for his help.
