Barry Bachenheimer LCSW ACSW

During our session spent most of the time answering phone calls and stepping out to the hallway to carry conversations (on my time that I was scheduled for), he did not seem to care, and sent me a bill in the mail to collect his co-pay with no follow-up. There are definitely better therapists out there who actually care about their clients getting better, he's not the one.

Called to see if they had evening availability is all I did not even see him he immediately answered the phone rudely. Saying Im in the middle of a session right now whats ur insurance so made me feel this is a straight to business type of deal not even a care of the real reason for therapy ESPECIALLY if Im being answered during the middle of a patients therapy session what the hell. And I asked if he was the therapist or a receptionist and he said hes the therapist so immediate no for me. If he sees this please dont call me back I know Id just be another rushed client for a check.

Very forgetful and has a short fuse/rude, he will ask you the same by book questions and wont truly listen to your concerns and when he feel like he don't wanna deal with you anymore he will cut session short and make up lies about not having availability to accommodate you but will take a new customer in a heartbeat and when it comes times for him to give results on your progress he will make up lies stay away if you're seek professional help because this man is not it and if you do use him anyway record your sessions and every phone call you take with him

Hes a nice guy but appears to have over-booked appointments. I also feel he may have too many clients that affect his ability to be completely dedicated to each client during a session. It appears that during each session hes not completely involved but is already preparing for his next appointment. As with any therapist or doctor its who you feel most comfortable with.

Im not one to leave reviews but I feel like if someone is looking for a counselor, reading reviews from different people, is very helpful. With that said, I wanted it to work with Barry but from the beginning I got the feeling that he didnt care and only cared about insurance $. At my last appt (about two months ago) I thought we were finally getting somewhere when Barry suddenly changed the topic and asked me if I had any fun summer plans. Maybe he didnt want me to be upset? Well it made me feel worse. He then said he was going away for a few weeks and I havent heard from him till today and it wasnt even for another appt it was to tell me I owe him $. Thankfully Ive found a new amazing counselor who really cares.
