Psychotherapy Associates of Niagara

“Absolutely love this office! Dr. Labarber and Vivian Gerard are angels. They go above and beyond and sincerely care about their patients. I've been seeing Dr. Labarber since 2018 and he has helped me through some very difficult times. I started seeing Vivian this year and she has been incredible, always attentive and personable. I'm so grateful to have these two to lean on! The office staff is GREAT too. Upbeat and helpful always. 10/10!”

“I have been going here since late 2008, the staff are professional, polite and helpful. Whenever I have a session, I come out feeling better and wiser. I see John and he is such a helpful and professional and great person. I can't put into words fully how much I value his help, words and just how great of a therapist he is!”

“Vivian Gerard was an exceptional PMHNP for me for a couple of years. When I was going through difficulty last year with work and interpersonal struggles with my parents, I was in contact with her regularly. During a particularly difficult couple of months while I was trying to extricate myself from an apartment living situation where I was concerned about airborne lead, we agreed to up my lithium dosage. She told me it was still a very low amount overall. Once I moved, I started taking my old dosage for a week and was planning on telling her the following week. I mentioned this to my EMDR therapist. He immediately told her and they both dropped me as patients because it “essentially leaves you fully unmedicated for your bipolar disorder” even though I was taking the mood stabilizer at exactly the dosage I had been for the vast majority of the time being Vivian’s patient. When I needed mental health services the most, I was put out in the cold on my own again.”

“I have been seeing a therapist from this office since 2020, Dr. McBride. She is amazing. There are no words I could possibly write or say that could ever express how much I respect and value her. She has helped me tremendously to grow as a person, has helped me through my extreme childhood trauma, a divorce, relationship problems, work problems, and just every day life. She is a crucial part of my life and I anticipate our appointments. The best thing? Emergencies. I lost my brother in 2022, and I called the after hours line because I really needed her as well as emailing her…. Sure enough she called me 10 mins later. Again… nothing but good things to say. Between the office staff Tracy and Rya (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and Dr. McBride, I am extremely happy with the services that I have been provided.”
