Have been seeing dr slone since January since I separated from my wife, I have come a long way since I have been his patient his approach is very good and he will uncover the tools you have to change the way you look at life and handle situations, I suffered from a lot of anger issues and every sentence involved a curse word, I have had the tools all a long and dr Slone helped me recover those tools, he helped me see the bigger picture and realize to not always look for confrontation and not let events control my life. Thank you Dr I would strongly recommend Dr Slone to led you the way to recovery

Dr. Slone has a warm and caring presence that I find comforting. I am currently seeing him for anger issues that have caused me great personal and financial stress. With his help and the tools he has provided me I already feel that I can control my anger and stress much better. He listens, asks insightful questions, and gives me «homework» to put in place constructive lessons in every day life.

Dr. Slone has been wonderful helping me get through some anxieties I had been experiencing for years! He is very direct, and got to the heart of my problem so that I could fix it. He provides a very professional environment that is comfortable. He listens and does not judge. I can honestly say my anxieties feel like a thing of the past after working with Dr. Slone!

Dr. Sloan is great row work with. He has helped me through a number of issues to really make me a better person. He is caring, yet very direct. He makes you think about yourself and come up with a mutual solution to your problems. He have given me a number of great tactics to address issues in my life and I feel lucky to have found him.

Stay clear! So unprofessional!
My review includes a bit of a lengthy story in order to understand what happened.
First I am an executive assistant, and as with most assistants, I’m rather close to my boss since I deal with most of her day to day activities and errands.
I have become close with my bosses son and daughter as well and have planned most events for them such as karate, dance, doctor appointments, etc.
It was widely known that my bosses son had a huge issue with social anxiety. We tried everything we could to socialize him with no help. He is quite young.
My boss then decided it was time for a psychologist, she went ahead and booked a few appointments and asked that I do research to see if I could find someone to help as well.
I came across Dr. Slone on Unilocal.I saw the rave reviews and instantly thought I should go ahead and book an appointment. I phoned him and received his voicemail. I decided to submit a form via his website so that he could call me back when he had a chance. I waited a day — since his voicemail says he typically responds in a day — and then left a voicemail as well as a follow up email describing who I was and the help I was in need of.
A couple hours past and the Dr called back. I answered in typical fashion and he introduced himself, I was ready to be wowed by him since he seemed to have helped so many. BUT, all he kept saying was «this is the strangest thing» «this is just so strange» — to which I tried to understand what he was saying so I kept saying «I’m sorry?» Because I couldn’t understand why he kept repeating «this is so strange» with absolutely no explanation.
Finally I asked «what’s so strange?» To which he curtly replied «to have an ASSISTANT call me to set up an appointment.» I laughed because I thought it was a joke and was about to begin to explain the situation, after all in my email I did provide him with my boss’s direct number so that he could reach out to either one of us.
He cut me off and simply said «my practice is full, I’m not taking any new patients.» CLICK.
I stared at the phone completely flabbergasted. Worst experience booking an appointment, especially with someone who should be helping people through rough times in their life. EVERY other psychologist I reached out to extended all venues of help the poor child.
If there were negative stars I’d give those instead.

i have been with Dr. Slone for a couple of years now. He’s really made a huge difference for me. He’s helped me not only to clarify my personal goals, and reach them, but to identify issues I hadn’t even considered that underlie the struggles I face. He’s helped me deal with the loss of my parents, as well as my own health issues. He’s insightful, compassionate, and treats you like a person, not just a patient. I recommend him highly!

Dr. Slone addressed my issues in a professional and solution driven process. I have been seeing Dr. Slone for 3 months now and after every session I have seen and feel my improvements. My anxiety levels have significantly reduced with the tools he has given me. Before I couldn’t walk out of my house without worrying and now I can manage my life’s stress with much more ease. I can’t thank Dr. Slone enough.

We began seeing Dr Sloan to address some concerns my child was having. We were in session with him for a couple of months. While hoping for the best I did not feel he was having much success reaching my child’s specific needs. I found his methods unusual, the Dr never followed up with me personally after any of the sessions so I felt completely in the dark as to what was taking in the sessions. Just an ok then, does the same time next week work for you? My child not wanting to open up about the sessions made it further frustrating for me to try to ease his concerns. I’m sure every professional has his own approach and I’m not sure if children are even his primary focus or speciality and I probably should have looked into that a little closer. We ended up seeking additional counseling and continued therapy with a different psychologist who’s approach I felt was more in tune with our needs. I was given a more active role in the process which in turn helped me better understand the challenges my child was facing. We both! received the tools to help him manage the specifics of his concerns. It was more of a group effort with exercises to practice and follow up on. This was the type of therapy we were looking for. We achieved a much happier outcome in roughly the same amount of time.
A couple of notes, Dr sloan’s office itself is In the basement of an office building right off the parking lot, it’s a little odd. If your claustrophobic in any way you might find it a little challenging. One more thing and this is what upset me enough to write this review. Pay close attention to the billIng. I’m not sure what happened but we received a statement from him over a year after we concluded service. I asked him to please! provide me a break down of the statements so I could see where the illregularties might be and check with my insurance company. His reply to me was and I quote «that ship has already sailed» it was either pay now or face a lawsuit. Well I paid the bill but I was not happy about the gun to my head approach but more importantly it was his attitude towards me. It was his insinuation that I was in some way avoiding the payment that insulted me most. I would challenge him to see who’s FICO is higher I pay my bills responsibly and on time. You would think a man of his education and occupation would like to work towards a resolution that would leave both parties in a better place. I quess what I’m trying to say is if you want someone searching through your mind for answers, better know the mind. Ask lots of questions up front (what your role will be as the parent in the therapeutic process) pay close attention to your statements and how he bills and hopefully this will not happen to you.

Dr. Slone is extremely professional and has shown a mastery of his work. He ask questions and listens extremely well, while also making sure to address issues that require the most attention.

Thanks Dr. Slone,
Very professional and great feedback. He has provided me with great tools to communicate better with my family. Thanks!

I was very hesitant to start therapy as I have had horrible experiences in the past, and never really found the process helpful. However, my experience with Dr. Slone has been nothing but positive. He is extremely thoughtful and really has helped me get to the root of many issues. I can see why someone wanting instantaneous results or a «magic pill» may be disappointed with his approach, but the truth is that real progress takes time… and a lot of work on the part of the patient. He’s the real deal, and I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to work with Dr. Slone.

I have been seeing Dr. Slone weekly for the last 3 weeks. He has provided the platform I was looking for: an emotionally safe environment to express life concerns and personal relationship dynamics. He listens. He asks powerful questions and most importantly offers subtle suggestions of action. I look forward to working with Dr. Slone in the future!

Dr. Slone helped me work through some difficult issues and his approach was outstanding. His method of motivation was respectful and he seemed very tuned in to my problems. I would definitely repeat should the need arise.

I have seen many counselors in the past 10 years, mainly to learn to cope with life’s events. Dr Slone is one of the best out there, and I’m happy to have found someone really good close in my area. He is very organized, and tackles your problems in a very structured manner. He also gives you homework and things to think about for the following sessions which I loved. Not only did it make me think about things from a different perspective, but it also helped me learn how to cope up with things in general and saw myself grow a lot as a result of that. I would very very highly recommend him if you are looking for a counselor, no matter the topic or main issues!

Dr. Barry Sloane is a brilliant, compassionate and experienced psychotherapist. He is professional, caring and understanding. I needed to make some monumental changes in my life and felt stuck, not knowing how or when to make my next step. Through CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I was able to see clearly what needed to happen and I broke through the fear to make that happen. In fact, I have made many positive changes leading to important personal and professional growth. Dr. Sloane is patient, kind and calmly responds to my needs; helping me to help myself. His office is warm, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Without a moment’s hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been seeing Dr. Slone for about five months for personal counseling and guidance. His office is a nice relaxing space and it immediately puts me at ease. When I share my thoughts, he gives me an honest straightforward assessment. He makes connections that I am not making for myself and offers me guidance in a positive and constructive way. He is kind and compassionate as well and has given me a different perspective that has helped me understand the dynamics that I am experiencing. He has a wonderful calm demeanor and a great handshake!

I feel very privileged that I have the opportunity of seeing my therapist, Dr. Slone, to work through mental and emotional concerns in my life. In the past few months, I’ve tried other therapists but never quite felt comfortable in sharing personal details of myself; therefore I always stopped going to therapy. What I appreciate with Dr. Slone is his whole demeanor and approach to therapy. First of all, Dr. Slone is gentle, soft-​spoken, encouraging, and most important «safe» which enables me to completely speak openly about life’s struggles, situations, etc. He doesn’t judge me nor look at me as a lesser person because I don’t have the tools (yet) to work through some mental/​emotional concerns. Thus far, I can already see positive results of our therapy sessions. Thank you for your genuine concern and dedication with helping others.

I have been a client of Dr. Slone’s for several years and he is a kind, compassionate, and extremely helpful therapist. He gives me great perspective and offers me different views of situations that I don’t always think of. I appreciate his honesty, cleverness, and sense of humor at the right time. He continues to help me grow and I am grateful to know him. :)
Thanks for caring and giving so much back! :)
