 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert was an excellent counselor. HE PROVIDES TELETHERAPY SERVICES. Whether you prefer telehealth, using audio or audio and visual components, Robert has the options covered. He does not require any external components to be satisfied to the therapy - - meaning he only focuses on the therapy and getting his patients attended to and heard. I thoroughly recommend Robert Bakst. He was quick, efficient, and understanding.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert was very accomodating with our virtual therapy sessions and worked around my busy schedule. Through the initial sessions we determined the underlying cause of my particular troubles, and worked on a plan over the next few sessions to address the underlying issue. I am appreciative of his understanding and guidance and I am in a much better place with a written plan going forward.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did Teletherapy with Robert Bakst and found it very therapeutic and helpful to my recovery. Through multiple video and phone calls we scheduled a reduced drinking pattern which cut my drinking drastically and installed a program to substitute drinking with a healthier diet and workout regiment as a replacement. I would recommend anyone to aquire Mr Bakst for any future addiction therapy. Truly a safe space.
