Kimberly Berman

My communication style

I am an active and patient listener who reflects with feedback when you need it. I create a safe, non-judgmental environment so you can have open communication within sessions. I have a calm demeanor, although I am actively empathizing with your feelings and situations. I offer support and validation at all times.

My journey to mental healthcare

People have always approached me with their issues and concerns, and I've always found it rewarding to help others. It's amazing to me how people come to therapy for help and don't realize how inspiring they can be. Their courage and bravery to tackle issues and face themselves is unbelievable and deserves the utmost respect.

My goals for you

It is not my place to impose goals on you. I will inquire early in the treatment process what goals you have in mind to achieve. We will work together towards accomplishing these goals and develop mechanisms to help you come closer to reaching them.

Our first session

I will engage in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I understand people are usually very nervous before their first session, particularly without prior experience. I will put you at ease, hear your questions and concerns, and briefly learn about you without being intrusive or overwhelming.
