  • "I will be forever grateful to Dr. Berman for helping me handle a very difficult, stressful, emotional and challenging situation with my mother. Dr. Berman gave me the tools to both handle the relationship and help me process and heal. Dr. Berman is not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional but also a wonderful, warm and caring person."

  • "It's tricky. Striking the right balance between clinical professionalism and an unmistakable depth of compassion is hard to find in one individual, and when you find it, significant progress can be made. Through EMDR, Dr. Berman turned a lifetime of painful memories into fuel for a future of possibilities. The journey within is risky without a trusted guide at your side. Dr. Berman is simply the best."
