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.

I am a Ph.D. level therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia and New York. I have 30 years of experience in the field of social work, human services, and counseling. I am a Certified Anger Management Specialist (CAMS-II). My therapeutic approach involves “meeting the person where they are.” I am committed to helping clients understand their life challenges and assisting them in working toward reducing or resolving the internal or external challenges. I believe treatment is successful when clients actively develop their treatment goals. I have worked with a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress issues, relationship issues, parent-child conflict/parenting problems, and trauma. I provide services using a holistic approach throughout the entire treatment process. All treatment modalities address the mind, body, and spirit. My integrative treatment philosophy considers the client’s biological, psychological, emotional, spiritual, and social needs. I look forward to meeting you to discuss your “journey.”

I began helping people at a Mental Health Clinic in New York. This lead me to a three year training program in therapy at a New York City Hospital. I have also taught at several New York Universities and Colleges. My training was theoretical. However, decades of practice has adjusted my approach in treatment to be more practical in order to address the issues of stress, anxiety and depression to help you achieve a well adjusted and satisfying life. I also acquired Certification in Critical Incident Stress Management while working with New York City Police, after the fall of the World Trade Center. This training has lent itself to helping people outside of the Department. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects many people on many levels. It also appears on multiple levels of degrees. Anxiety, stress and depression occur with separation and loss throughout life. Recently, I completed a year of study on Adoption Competency at Georgia State University. This training has proven to be a great toil in addressing and helping people with other separations and losses. Loss can cause anxiety, stress and in divorce, death and numerous other unexpected incidents in life. If you are willing to begin the journey to discover what is causing your discomfort, lets talk. I am looking forward to meeting you. Thank You, Phyllis Taliaferro LCSW-R

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a plethora of experience in acute care settings. I received my MSSW degree from Columbia University in New York City. My career has been anchored by the core belief that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring sans judgment, and I cooperatively assist my clients in elucidating their goals for treatment. As a therapist, I am warm, attentive, encouraging, and entirely conscientious. I pride myself on combining my life experience, expertise of multi-methodologies, education, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, pragmatic approach to counseling.

Human beings suffer. There's no getting around it. It's a fact of life. People suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship/intimacy conflicts, various forms of addictions, low self-esteem, career-related concerns, grieving loss and from the vicissitudes of life transitions. How can a therapist guide you from a place of discomfort and discontent to a place of relative peace of mind? I offer a particular kind of relationship (a therapeutic reliance) that enables you to better understand yourself and to gain distance/perspective about your distress as well as leading to insight that translates to change. I work to help you to see that some of the strategies you've been using to live your life have not really resulted in you getting the things you most value most in life. Therapy is about putting these dysfunctional strategies under a microscope and, together, constructing a new way to "do" your life. The tools you get to implement these new strategies will help you to navigate the inevitable obstacles you'll come across in your day-to-day living towards the achievement of your goals. The result of a successful period of psychotherapy is that the individual achieves more stability in his/her work and relationship life as well as feeling more satisfaction and contentment about himself and his life. I am particularly experienced and trained in the area of addictions, both substance abuse and "process" addictions - sex, porn, shopping, gambling. I am published and interviewed by major media about cybersex addiction and am considered to be an expert in "kink friendly" therapy, having been interviewed in a British HBO show about sadomasochism.

Hi, thank you for looking at my profile. I have been a psychotherapist for over 20 years treating children, adults and couples in various settings.
