"Dr. Barbara Bartlik, sex therapist and psychiatrist helped me, in her juicy, forthright manner, with ideas for heightening sexuality as we age."
- Jane Fonda, in the Acknowledgements section of her book "Prime Time: Love, Health, Sex, Fitness, Friendship, Spirit, Making the Most of All of Your Life", August 2011
"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."

Dr. Bartlik is not only, kind, courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, but she makes you feel like you are her only patient...this is rare in this day and age, for a doctor to take such a genuine interest in one's patient and their well-being.
She is a great listener, has a calm demeanor, and tailors her holistic approach to you and your health by making connections between your physical and mental health...connections you may not have known even existed. By doing so, she looks at the big picture, thus showing a genuine concern for one's overall health, mental and physical both...after all, they are inextricably linked. She can even write workup profiles for lab work testing on the spot, and even encourages you to show her suggestions to your PCP for further discussion. This is what I like most about Dr. Bartlik...her holistic and integrative approach to medicine in general, and her focus on one's individual overall health in particular.
Based on the above, I would highly recommend Dr. Barlik to any and all.

We tried several doctors all were just drug dealers (one of them even damaged my wife..) until we found Dr Bartlik. We got recommended from Dr Lauren marks totally different experience almost right away we felt the difference my wife wasn't in good shape thanks to the other doctors but she improved significantly thanks to Dr Bartlik and God that sent us to her. Really appreciate it thank you very much.

"Dr. Barbara Bartlik is a sincere, kind, caring, and intelligent physician who stands high above the rest. As a functional nutritionist, Dr. Bartlik is my go-to doctor for advice about patients in my practice who are on psychiatric drugs, who do not want to be on them, or who are experiencing negative side effects. She has been an invaluable resource, always making herself available to offer sound advice."

I have been going through some very personal issues and I couldn't have found anyone more understanding, caring and knowledgeable on how to deal with my anxiety and stress.

The best of the best
"Dr. Barbara Bartlett is extremely professional, punctual, and empathetic to all of my needs. She is also an active listener who I feel heard by. Unlike other doctors in the past, she is very conscientious of what she prescribed to me based on my needs and my blood work results. Everything is done with care and precision. Aside from what is being prescribed, the vitamins that she has suggested and I have purchased have transformed my day-to-day and my mental well-being."

Happier, Healthier and Peace

"Excellent, caring doctor who thinks outside the box and is always accessible. She has a vast knowledge of supplements and alternative therapies that is second to none. Also skilled with obscure bloodwork that can reveal underlying problems and yield new solutions."
April 2022
"Dr. Bartlik has been a tremendous help for me since my initial consultation to present. She is very knowledgeable to the types of medication needed but also open to changing the medication if you are not seeing results. In addition she is a big advocate and very knowledgeable of herbal supplements to eventually take you off medications. Many psychiatrists tend to over medicate. That is the opposite with Dr. Bartlik. If you can heal with natural supplements, that is very important to her. Her empathy and ability to understand and provide helpful feedback has been very beneficial for me and I am looking forward to my next session."
April 2022

First Dr. to actually listen & help me
"Dr. Bartlik was the first doctor who actually made me feel seen and heard as a medical professional. She went above and beyond anything I could have ever expected and made me feel like i mattered to her and that she actually cared. I would suggest her to everyone who is looking for the best medical experience available, and especially to those who have yet to find a doctor who works with them, understands them and wants to help them."
September 2021
"My appointment session with Dr. Bartlik was excellent. A great communicator who knows to ask the appropriate questions in regards to ones condition. Not one to first prescribe but rather taking a natural approach unless medication is needed. I’m looking forward to future sessions with her and I am very satisfied with the choice I have made."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Bartlik’s for over 20 years. She is amazing!!! She is so caring and compassionate, and deeply listens to one’s issues, enabling her to decipher a well tailored and individualized treatment plan. She is forward thinking and modern, and not limited to rigid and static diagnostic techniques, that many less sophisticated physicians often fall into. She is up date on the latest theories and methodologies in her field, and has a particularly impressive knowledge of new therapeutic uses for vitamin and mineral supplementation effective in alleviating both depression and anxiety. Dr. Bartlik has not only helped my mental and emotional health, but through her extensive knowledge base and keen intuitive nature, has assisted me in moving towards a state of full body health and wellness. Dr. Bartlik is a gem, and truly provides a doctor / patient experience that is exceptional, and clearly establishes her as a leader in her field."

"So many positive things to say sbout Dr. Bartlik. For me, the most important thing with a psychiatrist is their innate characteristic traits. Why this is important to me and I’m sure others would agree with me that you want your psychiatrist to be warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, not in a rush to hand you over prescriptions and get you out the door... to name a few. A psychiatrist whom you can trust and be completely open to while feeling safe, relaxed, understood, listened to, sympathized with, etc. is everything to me. 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. Don’t hesitate in your decision. Just Go! She’s not on my insurance but your health and well-being (especially mental health) has no price tag and she gives me receipts to submit to my insurance - sometimes they work.. honestly if you’re strapped for moneybags she’s not on your ensurance I would highly encourage you to go to her for one visit. She helped me out with price because she is a born-healer and cares more about helping people than the money and I trulg Believe that...you won’t regret it. 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. Re-read that last sentence. Now ask yourself, is that something you can put a price tag on?"

"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"

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."
