More about Walter

  • 40 years' experience

  • LCMHC, LPC, LPCC

If you are dealing with issues related to your present life, and/or working through issues from the past; relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, blocked creativity, trauma, depression, anxiety; we can work on that stuff. In 4 decades of practice I've seen people work through many major life challenges. I work with individuals and couples.

I've been a therapist since the early 1980s when I was in my early 20s. I was trained by a group of therapists who were drawing from a variety of approaches. That means I am trained to work with people using a variety of modalities, including talk therapy, creative therapy, body-centered therapy, cognitive therapy, and hypnosis. I am also trained as a Career Counselor. My tool kit is well equipped to provide each person with a unique therapeutic experience.

Human being suffer, each of us in our own ways. It's my job to assist people in dealing with, managing, healing, coming to terms with, their suffering. Once we meet online and start working, you'll determine the direction of your therapy so that you can benefit as much as possible from the experience. It is a courageous act to seek help. I look forward to beginning our work!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

M.A.·Aug 2022

Thank you.

B.O.·Apr 2022

The work Baruch has helped me to achieve has been transformative. I believe I am a more emotionally dimensional person and still learning to fully express myself for me and my loved ones.

M.A.·Apr 2022

Positively transformative and my overall personal wellbeing is much improved.

M.A.·Dec 2021

Thank you for being a good human and understanding.

B.O.·Oct 2021

I really appreciate the support, the suggestions and direction I get from Baruch during our sessions. I always feel empowered and capable after bringing an issue (usually that has to do with another human) that I feel hesitant to deal with to him. He listens, clarifies my big picture difficulty and gives me new tools or suggestions, while reminding me of what I know and what I have within myself. I can be vulnerable and HONEST with him.

A.D.·Jul 2021

Baruch is by far, the most insightful and understanding human I’ve ever met.

Z.A.·Apr 2021

I really appreciate the insight, the tools shared and the guidance I get from my counselor. He listens, he makes me feel seen and he helps me look at my behaviors and see what is affecting my life positively and what is not. I am grateful for the work I have done and for his part in my growth.

A.D.·Apr 2021

Baruch is an amazing counselor and human being. he is experienced kind and smart. I love how he does not only work on the roots of the problem but also offers you ways to help you break free.

D.O.·Dec 2020

Baruch is intuitive, solution-focused, fun, and supportive. He’s an amazing therapist!!!

T.R.·Oct 2020

Baruch is truly a blessing. He creates a space that feels safe, a space where I feel comfortable sharing my inner most thoughts that may have previously caused shame within me. He has a multigenerational lens on life that is shocking and impressive. Baruch has such a wide range of tools to share, and the biggest heart you could imagine. He has reinstated my hope for men.

B.E.·Sep 2020

I couldn’t have asked for anyone better for me.

Y.O.·Sep 2020

I am grateful for Baruch's expertise, humanity, and compassion. My overall mental health and general well-being are much improved through his work with me. I highly recommend him and the Betterhelp platform.

M.A.·Jul 2020

Really helpful. Professional. Knowledgeable. And likeable.

L.E.·May 2020

He is the best

D.O.·Mar 2020

I adore my counselor, Baruch. I feel relieved, more grounded and capable after my discussions with him. He asks important questions. He has helped me work toward the root of some personal issues, but also helps me with surface behaviors and all of my harder-to- navigate relationships. I am so grateful.

A.D.·Mar 2020

Baruch has been an amazing counselor - insightful, helpful, and supportive. His experience shows through his thoughtful responses and questions, and he approaches therapy with a wide array of knowledge across fields and a sense of humor. I'm thankful to have found a therapist who is genuine and engaged, who can make a real impact on my life.

T.A.·Feb 2020

Baruch has helped me in the most purposeful way through the ups and mostly downs in my life journey. He helps me to be the most authentic version of myself.

M.A.·Feb 2020

Traditional counseling has never clicked for me and my schedule. However, without a doubt BetterHelp has removed that barrier and connected me with the first professional who I have really clicked with. Baruch has made a huge difference in my day to day life in dealing with big and small issues, and I am grateful there is a platform that connects us across the world.

A.L.·Feb 2020

Baruch has been awesome to work with and a vital part of my personal journey these last few months. I'd certainly recommend Baruch for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced counselor.

M.A.·Sep 2019

Baruch is the best counselor I’ve had in a very long time!

Y.O.·Aug 2019

Baruch has been helping me sort out issues in dealing with my elderly father who was distant, very critical, and emotionally unavailable during my childhood and beyond. My father is currently verbally abusive to me and other family members in many instances. Baruch is wonderful. He has helped me with concrete and practical suggestions to help me deal with the immediate situation with my father and also more in-depth analysis of the whys and wherefores of the past. In spite of many years of difficulties with my father, he reminds me of all the positives in my own adult life, which can be hard to focus on when feeling overwhelmed when dealing with crises in an elderly parent. I felt immediately at ease with Baruch at our first session. He is an amazing listener and responds with such clarity and insight. In just a few sessions, he has helped me greatly. Highly recommend!

M.E.·Jul 2019

I would be surprised if there was a counselor that was a better match for me out there. Baruch has initially helped me get through a really tragic time in my life and we've transitioned to working on just general life things that I have a hard time working through. He's helping encourage me to use the tools I already knew I had and has perfectly unusual and relevant suggestions of books or movies(etc.) he thinks may help me or I may just get something out of, and as an unusual person, that is exactly what I need from counseling.

L.E.·Jul 2019

Baruch is professional, warm, funny, and compassionate always. A true credit to his craft. Really helped tremendously- I learned a lot and have better tools to cope with my trauma and depression related to my daughter’s addiction. Highly recommend!!!

C.H.·Jul 2019

Baruch is very professional and compassionate. He listens well and asks insightful questions. I highly recommend him.

P.E.·Jul 2019

Just getting started with Baruch but pleased about the direction I'm headed.

M.A.·May 2019

It took me one session with Baruch to have that "eureka" moment with him. Three weeks later, I feel like I've taken back control of my life and subsequently the thoughts bothering me have disappeared. Baruch is an extremely good listener. He not only listens to what you're saying, but how, and uses that as a means to dig deeper. He's committed his life to this profession, and truly cares about bettering humanity through his work. I would recommend him to anyone who cannot seem to overcome their problems on their own or with those close to them. Sometimes a conversation with a professional in this area is all we need. Baruch was certainly that for me.

J.A.·Apr 2019

Baruch has been very helpful to my situation. I have a lot going on and he seems to understand and listen to my concerns. I appreciate his help.

H.O.·Apr 2019

Helpful and I trust his incredible experience.

R.I.·Apr 2019

This is not my first therapy experience but it is the first therapy experience that is helping me. Barukh is really good at his job, I felt heard and understood and all of his advice and creative suggestions were of a huge help to gain clarity and peace of mind. 100% recommend!

D.O.·Apr 2019

He has offered me some varied and fantastic tools. I felt heard and understood and he offered me help in the right spots. Clearly he is extremely talented in this arena. I feel very lucky to of “stumbled upon” his work.
