Barry Lessin Telehealth

Barry Lessin is a dedicated psychologist with over 40 years of experience, specializing in addiction and family dynamics. He is particularly passionate about supporting young people and their families who are affected by substance use. Barry recognizes that many individuals have suffered from generic treatment methods, which is why he emphasizes self-empowerment and adopts a person- and family-centered approach in his practice. He believes there are multiple paths to wellness and encourages clients to take charge of their treatment goals. With a profound understanding that any change can be challenging, Barry meets clients where they are in the process, empowering them to take essential steps forward.

Barry works collaboratively with individuals and families to unpack their unique relationships with substances, assisting them in developing effective tools and strategies aimed at harm reduction. Goals may vary from safer use and reduced consumption to complete abstinence, depending on each client's needs. His extensive experience has reinforced his belief that parents have an innate understanding of their children. He steadfastly supports parents in harnessing their instincts to navigate the challenging decisions necessary for establishing healthy boundaries while addressing the needs of the entire family. With a diverse range of therapeutic modalities, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Harm Reduction, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Barry is committed to guiding his clients on their journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
