About

Dr. Bard Schatzman is a licensed psychologist practicing in Missouri and Arizona with 45 years of clinical experience. He has provided mental health services to individuals, couples, families, and groups across the lifespan, addressing concerns that range from life adjustments and parenting challenges to severe mental disorders. His work includes support for substance-related issues, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, loneliness, fear, trauma, and self-doubt.

He takes an interactive approach to counseling, forming a therapeutic alliance in which the client helps establish and prioritize goals, expectations, and the course of treatment. By the end of the first session, he aims to reach agreement on goals, expectations, and a treatment plan. The initial meeting is designed to explore the person’s history and provide a complete picture of current experiences, including biological, sociological, and psychological influences that may contribute to their concerns. Clients share what they see as important, and his follow-up questions often address related historical, biological, sociological, or psychological factors.

After the first session, his work becomes more solution-focused, drawing on a mix of psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused methods. He recognizes that seeking counseling requires courage and a willingness to be vulnerable, and he seeks to support and empower clients as they work toward mutually agreed goals. He encourages anyone ready for counseling to take the first step and looks forward to working with them.

He specializes in stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleep disorders, parenting issues, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coaching, and compassion fatigue. He holds an Arizona psychologist license, listed as PSY-005275.
