Jeff Barlow

Elmira, NY
Psychologist, PHD
Dr. Jeff Barlow, a seasoned psychologist with a PhD, understands that each client carries a unique life story, enriched with their own resources. He believes that a one-size-fits-all approach seldom addresses the diverse complexities of individual challenges. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Barlow is adept at uncovering personalized solutions tailored to each person’s needs. He emphasizes that many issues stem from misconceptions learned from influential figures or traumatic experiences, which can warp perceptions of self, relationships, and function in the world. In therapy, he guides clients in transforming these misconceptions into empowering truths. Having spent an extensive 9 years training in assessments and therapy, Dr. Barlow possesses a unique expertise in the mental health field, enabling him to comprehend and facilitate meaningful change. Further, he incorporates the natural method of hypnosis—an accessible state reminiscent of daydreaming or long drives—to support clients in their journey toward behavioral change.
