"Bernadette is an excellent therapist. I've seen her for 8 years, and she always listens patiently and helps me process emotions. Even when I shut down, she gently guides me to address my issues. Her calm demeanor soothes my scattered thoughts during sessions. Bernadette treats you with respect, empathy, and helps you advocate for yourself. She genuinely wants the best outcome for you."

"Tengo un tiempo que mi hija de 6 años acude a terapia con  Bernadette, para mi ha sido de gran ayuda para gestar el comportamiento, las emociones, conductas, límites y a mostrarnos las herramientas que podemos usar para lidiar con lo que implica un diagnóstico como por ejemplo superar nuestras frustraciones que como familia  nos envuelven. Nos ayuda a concientizarnos que si la familia esta bien nuestra hija estará mucho mejor. Bernadette a creado una atmósfera de confianza y apoyo vinculándose con mi hija desde la empatía."

"It sounds like you're going through a really tough time right now, and I'm here to listen. It's completely okay to feel the way you do, and you're not alone in this."
