He takes time to go an extra step when one is going thru a difficult time and for me he is a life saver after an incredibly difficult death of my Mother. I am so grateful to have found him!

I think I have finally erased it tho I took days of trying. He is definitely one of the best Doctors in Marin!

Dr Barshack was recommended to me by the previous head of Marin General Hospital and graciously…read moreagreed to see me almost immediately despite his fully booked and in demand schedule. I had become desperate with post partum depression going on over two years and was having every area of my life implode including a great job at one of the best companies in the world to work for, my family and friendships. Dr. Barshack is one of and if not the best medication management psychiatrists nationwide and I'm grateful he is able to help me and my family finally have a life again. I hope other reviews were well thought out and not posted by a scared and anxious parent just trying to do best by their child in need. Dr Barshack is not a therapist and his specialty is pharmacology/med management. Although it's not my choice to use illegal substances or others not prescribed by my doctor, I've seen enough good doctors to understand that they will share the truth with the patient and any research done on the topic including any pros and cons. There are very good reasons for patient confidentiality and I hope one negative review from a parent of a teen who doesn't follow doctor's orders doesn't reflect negatively on such a good professional who saves lives daily. Hope this helps.

I worked with Christina V. two years ago for complex PTSD and trauma thinking this was a reputable…read moreand trusted organization. She retraumatized me by making me write out my trauma and reread it every day to myself and her while I was currently in an unsafe environment. I can say that this did not alleviate the trauma symptoms and rereading it and reliving it every day only made my symptoms worse which she gaslit me and reassured me that it would subside. The trauma has not subsided and I got fired from my job for having severe symptoms which I experienced alone loosing the ability to afford therapy. This is absolute negligence and comes from a dangerously uninformed non- trauma-informed lens. This approach is not empirically supported and she touts. This experience added to my trauma and I spent an insane amount of money only to be gaslit, retraumatized, and revictimized.

I saw Dan Neuharth for a little while, and unfortunately, my experience was not very good. Since…read morethere's limited information about him online beyond his own website, I wanted to share my personal experience in case it helps others on their path toward healing and self-discovery. Therapy can be a major emotional, financial, and time investment. After some reflection, I've come to realize that I left my time with Dan feeling worse than when I began. A subsequent therapist I saw was shocked and concerned by some of the things he said to me. In hindsight, it often felt like the focus was more on him than on helping me. There were moments in therapy where I felt manipulated -- especially after sharing something vulnerable. Dan came across as thin-skinned and reactive, and at times I noticed flashes of what felt like intense anger. On more than one occasion, he spoke very harshly about people he disagreed with or perceived as less intelligent. I didn't fully recognize it at the time, but now I understand just how unsettling this is coming from a therapist who is in a position of power. Looking back, it struck me that so many of Dan's behaviors seemed reminiscent of the negative traits often associated with Donald Trump, including a lack of emotional attunement, more limited compassion, a certain sense of entitlement, and the rapid onset of anger -- at least in my experience with him. Additionally, he would imply what words I should or shouldn't use, and was intense about it. He often stonewalled when he disagreed over relatively minor topics or terms. This felt controlling rather than constructive. Also, he ran late to sessions and was frequently disorganized. I looked into his educational background and found that his psychology degree appears to have come from a for-profit school with a high acceptance rate. A basic search returned poor reviews of the rigor of education there. I could be wrong, and this alone isn't disqualifying, but it added to my concerns about the level of care I received. Over time, it started to feel like Dan struggled with internal confusion or unresolved issues that were being projected onto my work. I believe this affected my ability to gain clarity and feel grounded. After therapy with him ended, those effects began to fade -- but it took time. While I can't speak to Dan's motivations, I've wondered why he chose this profession -- especially with a focus on narcissism -- given the new understanding I have of his conduct. If you are seeking help with narcissistic abuse or trauma, I would advise being cautious. This is simply my experience, and others may have different ones. But based on what I went through, I believe there are better options out there -- especially now that remote therapy has made high-quality care more accessible. There are many ethical, helpful therapists out there. Unfortunately, there are also some who can do more harm than good. Trust your instincts and take care of yourself.

I wouldn't be writing this review of Dr. Dan Neuharth if I hadn't just come across a very negative…read morereview of him, written on July 12, 2025. I don't like publicly outing myself as a former client, but I just cannot let that bad review stand. IMHO, Dr. Neuharth is such an outstanding therapist!! Basically, the short version of what I want to say is that every negative comment made by that reviewer, would be accurate if it were flipped to the reverse. In my experience, Dr. Neuharth is exceedingly respectful and caring. From the first minute of the session to the last minute, he is alert, interested, and totally focused on you, the client. He is exceptionally supportive. He is not reactive or defensive, but routinely invites feedback and criticism. This is extremely healing to people who had to be vigilant as children never to criticize parents. Negative reviewer stated, "Lack of emotional attunement." The opposite is true. Dr. Dan is extremely emotionally attuned. You can see this, in his demeanor, in an interview he did on Dr. Les Carter's "Surviving Narcissism" YouTube channel, and in a talk on RECAMFT YouTube channel entitled "Working Effectively with Clients Raised in Narcissistic Families." Watch for yourself. Decide for yourself. Best of luck to everyone out there!!

As previous reviewers (most removed, sadly) have commented, the provider lacks boundaries and…read moredisplays poor personal judgement. When I brought my child to see him, we entered the waiting area and pressed the call button. He was in his office but did not come until 30 minutes past our appointment time. While we were waiting, we heard what can only be described as sexual noises coming from his office, and when he finally came to the waiting room, he was with another man and they were both disheveled. I have nothing against a mid day romp, but the context was unacceptable. I certainly hope he was not taking advantage of a client and the man we saw was a friend or partner. Needless to say, we did not see this provider again.
