Barry Wasser

Barry Wasser earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Yeshiva University and completed a Master of Social Work at Touro College’s Graduate School of Social Work. He focuses his clinical work on treating individuals with histories of anxiety, depression, trauma, and severe and persistent mental illness.

He is a licensed clinical social worker in both New York and New Jersey and brings eight years of professional experience working with adults, the elderly, and their families. His background includes direct clinical work in a range of care settings.

Barry has provided services in environments such as a mental health homeless shelter and a transitional residence for adults with mental illness. He also has experience facilitating group therapy and offering mental health case management, practices that have supported both clients and their families.

In session, Barry draws on a variety of therapeutic techniques to meet each person where they are, aiming to build trust and a comfortable therapeutic relationship. He strives to create a space where clients can express themselves, examine obstacles to quality of life, and work toward short- and long-term goals. Supportive therapeutic partnerships, assertiveness, and open-mindedness are central to his approach, and he treats each session or family meeting as an opportunity to promote sustained personal growth.
