"For the psychiatrist who believes there is more to happy practice than just writing scripts, which I think, in all honesty, is most of us, Integrative Sexual Health is a valuable office resource."

"...It was obvious from my first visit that she deeply cares and was born to be a healer. I’ve been to many psychiatrists and have had horrible experiences that I almost gave up looking. I think it’s a miracle that the last doctor I told myself I would try was “the one” for me. I had several psychiatric issues and a brain injury and I’m also in the medical field.. she not only is sharp as a tack but she listens, asks important questions, and made me feel so comfortable like I was talking to a friend. I can’t say enough good things about her...One visit and you will understand everything I’ve said here. I am back to my happy, healthy, balanced self that I thought I could Never get back (due to a history of poor psychiatrists and mis-diagnoses and medicine that messed me up). I am so grateful she got me back on track. I feel like the very best version of myself everyday now..."

"I wish I had more space because I can’t rave enough about Dr. Bartlik! I finally feel I have my life back for the first time after decades of trying other doctors. There is no price tag I can put on feeling my best self every day. Not just “normal” but the VERY BEST VERSION of myself. I forgot what it felt like to be living my best life. She doesn’t take my insurance but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that she’s the best investment I’ve ever made in my life. I’m forever grateful to her!"

"Dr. Bartlik changed my life. I was a nervous wreck before I met her and couldn't sleep, and as a result my relationships fell apart over and over again. Dr Bartlik did lab tests for vitamins and minerals and found out that I was deficient in magnesium, zinc, and certain amino acids. She replaced them and I was a different person and no longer needed so much psychiatric medication"

September 2014

I was depressed since I was a teenager and had been on antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications and medications for bipolar, and nothing got it right. Dr. Bartlik was the first doctor to check my thyroid thoroughly and she found that I was hypothyroid. After receiving thyroid medication, and nutritional supplements I was much better and was able to reduce my medications.

"I had erectile disorder (ED), and Viagra and other medications like it did not help me. They gave me headaches when I took dosages high enough to be effective. Dr. Bartlik started me on methylcobalamin (vitamin B12), magnesium and other supplements. The Viagra started working at low dosages that I could tolerate, and often I did not need to take it at all."

"Barbara, thank you for giving a wonderful talk entitled, “Practical Tips for Reclaiming Sexuality after Breast Cancer,” and for facilitating a group of breast cancer survivors at Montclair Breast Center.
You transformed feelings that are so terrifying and intimate, and, for many, shameful into something safe, healing and hopeful. The information was very useful to all of us, and I'm so grateful you agreed to come out to join our group."
