About Me

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.

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

Written by M.I. on May 02, 2022 after therapy with Barry for 8 months on issues concerning relationship issues, self esteem, and career difficulties

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

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!

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.

Him!

Written by A.L. on May 05, 2021 after therapy with Barry for 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, grief, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and anger management

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

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 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.

Work with me!
