Dr. Slone is fantastic professional and is great at his craft. He is kind and compassionate. He has set me up with small amounts of homework to help me to solidify our talking points and strategies. With these tools it has been a great help in my everyday life. He has given me things to contemplate after every session. More...

I have tried therapy in the past and have found it self indulgent and pointless.  This is not the case with Dr. Sloane, you will be doing real work.  I am starting a new chapter in my life that is unknown and uncomfortable.  Dr. Sloane is helping me navigate my thoughts and feelings into being understood and constructive.  Doing this "heavy lifting" is uncomfortable, but, this is why I go.  Even though we explore difficult conversations I am easily able to be honest both with Dr. Sloane and myself, which, has not always been the case.  He will often stop for clarification or with more questions.  I very much look forward to my weekly appointments.  It is a great comfort to have such a wonderful professional to guide me.  Last week I was going through issues and reached out to him days before my session.  He wanted to know what was going on and fit me in for an earlier appointment.  Although, I am new to working with Dr. Sloane he has given me real hope for my future.  I will update me posts as my therapy continues.

As fiery Irish redhead, dealing with stress does not come easily.  It's been a rough year, so I wanted to find a professional to help me manage.  Dr. Slone lives up to the good reviews I've seen on yelp.  Each visit we identify areas to work on and he gives me homework that is clear and helpful.  I like his viewpoint and the questions he asks to get me to think about things from another vantage point.  Additionally, I like the focus on dealing with the current and finding ways to practically make adjustments in my thinking patterns.  Looking forward to tackling some more challenges!

Dr. Slone is very easy to talk to and really listens with compassion.  He knows what questions to ask to help the conversation flow effortlessly. Once he understands where your anxiety and stress is coming from he helps you develop skills to help you manage that anxiety and work through it.  After just a few visits those close to me really noticed a change in my behavior and how I dealt with stress.

After being released from the emergency room for what I thought was a heart attack, which ended up being a stress induced panic attack - it was recommended that I speak a psychologist like Barry. After scouring yelp reviews diligently I made my decision to have my first appointment with him.Barry was nothing short of my expectations after reading every yelp review he has. He was easy to communicate with and got me an appointment the same week. He has been instrumental in helping me with lowering my daily anxiety and stress through a combination of meditation, journaling, exercise and life balance. He is caring, compassionate, professional and highly educated in this field.

Dr. Slone is by far the best therapist I have ever met with, and I'm really grateful that I was able to find his services during a really stressful point in my life. I'll never forget how at the end of our first appointment Dr. Slone asked me how I felt about the session. I was a little taken aback at first, because no therapist had ever asked me what my feelings were towards their therapy approach and how comfortable I was with our dynamic. I will always appreciate Dr. Slone checking in with me to ask how I was feeling, because it reminded me that our sessions were reciprocal, and it helped create a safe space where I was free to determine what I was and was not comfortable with. I've been meeting with Dr. Slone for about a year now, and he has helped me tremendously. I would strongly recommend Dr. Slone to anyone looking to pursue therapy. More...

Dr. Slone has been good for me. He listens, he maintains presence, demonstrates compassion in body language and questioning, and he is very measured in his questions such that premature conclusions are not reached. He understands that realism must be maintained and if a given exploration is not accurate in my view then it will not help me change my life.He maintains high professional conduct but remains very connected to my lines of thought. He is astute in picking out relevant themes and statements that I don't notice. I've completed all the self-reflection he suggests and in each case it has helped me advance the ball. Some of that self-reflection comes in the way of "tools" to use in the moment. Communication via the web interface is not instantaneous, but nor is such an expectation here appropriate (it's not an ER). More...

I started meeting with Dr. Slone to help deal with some anxiety issues I was suddenly experiencing and my hope was to make sense of it all. His insight and logical thinking have been a huge help and with the goals he's helped me set, I'm truly feeling as if I'm getting back to my old self, but with a much better outlook on things. I will admit, I was a bit apprehensive at first as I'd never visited with a doctor before in regards to counseling and I wasn't 100% on board in the beginning, but the more we talked, the more comfortable I felt and the sessions have really helped me in my effort to sort all of this out. Extremely easy to talk to; insightful and not at all judgmental, which is key, in my humble opinion. More...

Just like Andrew, I found Dr. Sloane in one of my worst times in my life. Dr. Sloane has helped me with overcoming these tough obstacles! He's a great therapist and provides very real, honest and blunt feedback!! At first I was resistant and wanted to argue with his feedback, his advice was great but I wanted to have someone agree with me and tell me that the downward spiral I was in was a fine and healthy direction to head in; now I have realized that his feedback was completely nessicary in order to improve my life and become my happiest self! Me and him have made a terrific bond and I am thoroughly convinced that Dr. Sloane is a fantastic observational therapist who cares a lot about what he does and can help you realize things you would never have realized before!

I came across Dr. Barry Slone on Yelp.  After reading other reviews on how he helped them with their anxiety and overthinking, I wanted to give him a try.  I read that he works with people with anxiety and panic attacks; and it has been quite difficult to find someone that can help in this issue.  Dr. Slone gives you tools and techniques that actually work and focuses on the present and not the past. It's all about moving forward and not dwelling on past events but in ways to find techniques for us to deal with them. I've had therapists who I feel tell everyone, these problems stem from your childhood, this is a generalization and you can tell the difference once you have your first session with Dr. Slone.  He is also very structured, so each time, we choose a topic so we can focus on one or two things.  I feel like each visit with him is tailored for me.  He remembers everything I tell him, including names and he keeps me focused on improving the areas I need.  He has taught me how to refocus my mind and stop the negative thinking.  He has amazed me and I am very grateful to have found him.  Thank you Dr. Slone for all your help and genuine care and concern.

I have had the privilege of being successfully treated by Dr. Barry Slone.  I   attempted to get the treatment I needed from numerous mental health professionals but those professionals were unsuccessful in diagnosing my difficulties and making any progress on identifying and implementing treatments.  Dr. Slone took on the challenge of treating me and was able to identify my ineffectual behavior patterns quickly and then get to work in helping me learn to overcome my longstanding depression, anxiety, panic attacks and destructive behavior. The qualities that Dr. Slone possesses are excellent listening skills, a non-judgmental approach, and he is extremely intelligent and well educated.  Dr. Slone does not engage in passive listening wherein his clients / patients talk and Dr. Slone listens and then simply "parrots back" what the client has stated himself/herself.  Instead, he is willing to give his educated opinions relative to his clients' life situations and recommend courses of action.  Too many times mental health professionals are not willing to share their insight with the faulty notion that the client has to identify their own negative behavior patterns and dream up their up own solutions.  Frankly, I do not know the answers to the questions I raise in therapy and do not think it is cost effective to pay a professional to simply observe while I struggle with such daunting questions.  I wanted and now have "an active participant" in my mental healthcare, Dr. Barry Slone.With the benefit of treatment from Dr. Slone I am now in the most healthy romantic relationship I have ever been in.  When my boyfriend needed mental health advice, I turned to Dr. Slone once again, success.  My boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed talking with Dr. Slone and appreciated Dr. Slone's advice when he could not quite develop a candid dialogue with his own therapist.  Dr. Slone was able to reach across cultural and religious barriers and be an skilled and non-judgmental listener for my boyfriend and bring him closer to problem resolution.I am thrilled to recommend Dr. Slone as the best psychologist in Orange County!
