Therapists in Bath, NY

Our world can make daily life feel disorienting, but a life worth living is possible. For those of us who are neurodivergent, feel overwhelming emotions, or have marginalized identities, keeping it all together can feel like a full-time job. I know the feeling. We live in a world of interconnected systems that serve to help us but also hold us back in many ways. Psychotherapy can teach us valuable skills, offer emotional containment and validation, shift attachment styles, and allow us to say out loud what we thought was unsayable. This is what I hope to help you with as your therapist.

Accepting new clients. Welcome and Congratulations. You have taken the first step to feeling and doing better. I am Dr. Robert Barash. I am an experienced, warm and helpful therapist who helps people with too much stress in their home, school, or work lives, relationship issues, all phases of breakups or divorce, social anxiety, dealing with dificult family or friends, wondering about career direction, healing old emotional injuries, adjusting lifestyle for less stress and more fulfilment, or planning for and adjusting to retirement.

My therapeutic style is based on the belief that good rapport is essential to accomplish our therapeutic goals. While I think in terms of family of origin issues, I intervene through many diverse approaches depending on the needs of the person.These approaches include thoughts, bodily sensations, feelings, and the experiences of childhood. I follow the lead of whom I am working with and tailor my psychotherapeutic work to fit where they are at in their psychological development. A primary focus is to help one become at ease with oneself.

Our minds are incredible tools for experiencing life- and yet , the mind can so easily slip into anxiety and overthinking. Our memories can bring us joy and a sense of identity, but we can also get "stuck" in past patterns & hurts. Therapy is a unique type of relationship focused on your empowerment and growth. We'll work together to create awareness around those mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns. From here, we'll seek ways to implement positive, conscious changes, based on your personal values and desires.

Currently accepting clients with immediate openings! If there is one common human emotion, it is a feeling that we are doing the best we can. We like to feel we always make our best decisions.

If you are here, then you have already done the hardest part: getting started.
