I have been working with Dr. Lesniak for about a year. Through systematic examination of my…read morethoughts and feelings, she helped me identify areas where my assumptions and cognitive shortcuts were steering me wrong and causing me a lot of fear, despair, and anxiety. She provided tools to help me change unhelpful patterns, and now I'm doing a lot more of what I enjoy and enjoying so much more of what I do. Thank you, Dr. Lesniak!

Office staff is unprofessional! 1. They set me up with the…read morewrong email address, so I didn't receive the paperwork for intake 2. The intake paperwork contains a single form with 350 questions, many of which are essay style. The intake worker didn't have access to my finished form, although I could see it online via the portal. 3. The first appointment is for intake. I received a call the morning of the interview saying they'd need to reschedule because the intake worker hadn't been notified of the appointment. 4. The intake worker phoned 15 minutes late. I had already phoned the office to find out where I should be logged in, and they told me I would be notified when my appointment started. I had to explain multiple times that the appointment time was in the past. I was told "that shouldn't be the case", and then "she'll call you."

Over worked staff, whom rarely show they are paying attention to the needs of the patient. The "nicer" building in photographs, is not for patients, it's for PR. Hospital was sued for 120 million, at the "better" location. Due to caring for many older relatives, never been in such a dirty place. Chicago, NYC, to Florida, all took better care of my family. Frankly, wouldn't let them care for a cat. Shameful to call this a "working" hospital. Save you time, get to Vassar, if in that area. They took wonderful care, after my father's stroke on Christmas Eve. Cold Spring's ambulance service, deserves special mention for their incredible care, 3 flights of steep stairs to carry him. They literally saved his life, as was due for surgery, in Chicago. Vassar foubd an infection, treated it, thus he survived the operation. Deep thanks to the ambulance ER team. If had photograph, could post the "real" Pougkeepsie Midhuson Regional Hospital. Google, you see the new building, which patients can see, from the actual (frankly scummy) buildings they place the sick. VASSAR, or get to lower Westchester.

To call Barbara my lifesaver, would be selling my endorsement drastically short! I have been seeing…read moreBarbara on and off for nearly two decades. As I progress, so does she; her bag of tools appears to be bottomless. I have been seeking psychiatric care since I was a young teen and have seen both psychiatrists and psychologists, and I can say with confidence that Barbara, as a Clinical Social Worker is superior by all measures in actually helping to provide the tools to navigate through daily life and relationships, and not just provide some framing diagnosis that ultimately becomes the enabling factor that allows for continued unwanted thought processes and behaviors. She has never failed to deliver! I'm not sure how she has the strength to work from the wee hours of the morning until late at night. She must have some type of super-human emotional/physical power, as I feel like she too, feels the pain of her patients. I have referred her to several friends in need of help, and all of them feel the same way about her work. It's like some secret sisterhood when one of us references 'Barbara'. In fact, I came to Barbara, because of a recommendation from my now husband's referral. Barbara is extremely professional, punctual, on task and result oriented. I cannot sing her praises loud enough!
