Teletherapy for Bryn Mawr, PA

Life often rains on our plans, and I want to help you find a raincoat and dance in the storm, "fearless." I want to offer you support in learning how to cope with traumatic life experiences, losses, depression, compulsions, and anxiety. As someone diagnosed with ADHD and an autoimmune disease, I understand what it is like to navigate the world differently and crave understanding from those around you. I believe in offering palpable interventions, a little bit of humor, and alternative perspectives that will eventually allow you to be your own therapist and thrive in various environments. I also believe in you.

Do racing thoughts or depressive feelings keep you from being your authentic self? Do you want to live a richer and fuller life? Life transition, trauma, stress, insomnia and addiction are difficult experiences to navigate. Dr. Berman will help you to build a sense of confidence when confronted with these issues while becoming more at ease in your life. Combining compassionate care with evidence-based therapy, Dr. Berman uses techniques proven to build self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.

I specialize in helping people recover from serious trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and anxiety disorders. I have focused my entire career on developing expertise in helping people with theses specific issues - it's depth, not breadth! There is nothing more rewarding to me than helping someone else use effective tools to break out of suffering and live the life they want to be living!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in treating trauma-related conditions, emotion dysregulation, and the broad spectrum of anxiety disorders, with extensive training in various approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, exposure therapies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I incorporate principles from many evidence-based treatments given the complexity of individuals and the world generally. My interventions can target issues that fall under diagnostic categories (e.g., PTSD, OCD, GAD), but also other underlying relationship, personality, and emotion concerns.
