Nirala Bard, LPC

I had an overall negative experience with Nirala. While the scheduling process was smooth, I was disappointed.I found it unprofessional when Nirala over-reacted dramatically to my life events, it was not helpful. This made me feel uncomfortable and judged. She should respond with empathy and calm, especially when discussing sensitive topics. She also repeatedly called me “dude” during our sessions, which was inappropriate for a therapy setting.I was very concerned by how strongly she pushed medication after I expressed (in session one) that I was not interested in medication. I understand the importance of offering treatment options, but I would have appreciated more respect for my initial boundary, and space to discuss alternatives or other non-medication approaches that might suit my needs. She did not honor my boundary. While I appreciate her background, I hope she takes these points into consideration to create a more respectful and patient-centered environment in the future.

The best agency I have found so far in Bergen county that still accepts major insurances and the out of pocket expenses are very nominal when compared to other agencies. Thank you much Judy!

I got an appt the same day I called in and the front desk is phenomenal and not only do they verify the insurance but they text regularly to keep me posted of all outcomes. Very well organized team and I feel privileged to be serviced by this wonderful TEAM BABH!!!!

great counselor, makes me feel comfortable everytime I go and has helped me view things in such a positive way.

Ms Bard was very helpful. She provided insight and beneficial guidance to our family. Kind and gracious.

Each visit I have been able to open up more in a comfortable and safe environment.

Very professional, returns phone calls, Judy reminds you of appointments by email and text and greets you very nicely when you confirm your appointment. Ms. Bard is very professional and very kind and helpful in getting the problems resolved and gives great advice.

Nirala Bard is the best Counselor I have EVER had! I started seeing her in 2015, she has helped me during the most difficult parts of my life! Professional, extremely knowledgeable, & kind, she goes the extra mile to assist with finding additional resources! It’s so difficult to find a quality therapist these days & I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help! Both Ms. Bard and her staff are tech savvy as well!

Very friendly environment. Ms Bard is the best person to speak with about any issues. She is always there to help me out and listens patiently. Judy the office manager is very good with accommodating clients with appointments and confirmation reminders. Overall great experience and will definitely recommend this clinician.

Not only does she get right to the point but educates you on the diagnosis and treatment plan options. She is very thorough..

I have a seven year old son who sees Nirala and he presented her to his class as someone who changed his thinking and behaviors. He calls her, his "GPS", she guides him when lost, navigates him carefully and when necessary will ask him to make "a U turn". She is truly amazing.

We found it so difficult to find a culturally sensitive therapist. But when we found Nirala and after attending sessions with her, she was not only able to understand our needs but even spoke to us in Hindi!! My husband and I highly recommend her as a therapist for couples.

Nirala is a wonderful therapist! She has been instrumental in my personal growth. She is easy to talk to & has sound advice. Lots of laughs through the hard times, which is always refreshing. I've been used to a lot of talk therapy in the past & she is definitely not that. She is about getting things done. Homework is sometimes provided; it's about guiding you through these lessons. She was able to refer me to a great psychiatrist, which has ultimately led me to a much greater quality of life.

A lot of times I dont like to share my doctors as good ones are hard to find, but this therapist is way ahead of her field and I would heartily recommend her!

I started going to Miss Bard almost a year ago and found a very helpful therapist she listen and interacts with me. She understand and give me examples to understand the situation and the solution. Also she left me things to think in between sessions that help me understand my problems. She is really good and amazing therapist

I have been going to therapy since I was 15 yo. Now I’m 33 and for the first time and after seeing so many therapist I was able to find a person who helped me to come out from all my fears, and problems. I was able to get stability back in my life as a person a wife and a mother. Ms Bard helps you with your problems, she is personal and it’s always there for you. She is great, and her team is amazing.

Just started to see Ms.Bard and very happy to work with her and my results ! Scheduling is made so easy and very professional with reminders via email and text which I feel is plus !

Nirala Bard has been very helpful for me. My life has given me quite a few ups and downs, and I take comfort in the fact that Nirala can listen to me objectively and with care. I've seen other therapists in the past, but Nirala is a much better fit. Glad I found her.

She was recommended by my insurance, she is extremely professional. I have had 5 visits till now and her techniques are showing results.

She was really helpful.
