Berena Wasserstein LCSW, LCAT, ATR-BC
I have twenty years of experience and have treated children, adolescents and adults with trauma, depression, anxiety and learning differences.
With two degrees in mental health, Art Therapy and Social Work, my practice is unique in that I can offer both traditional talk therapy and tailored art therapy techniques to help someone achieve their goals. My practice incorporates psychodynamic, emotion focused, cognitive therapy and mindfulness techniques. I have extensive experience working with individuals (of all ages) with histories of trauma.
If you are looking for therapist where you will find kindness, professionalism, understanding and active banter, I offer a free phone consultation and encourage you to book.

I've been working with Berena for about two years now, and it has been a truly wonderful experience! She is warm, professional, caring, and works for the best of her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist! I also really appreciate that since she's a licensed art therapist, she has given me some art/mindfulness prompts that I found quite helpful. I feel like she is actually listening to understand, and doesn't put people in a box.

I've been working with Berena since the beginning of the pandemic and have to say she has been absolutely incredible! Berena has been extremely flexible, attentive, and a reassuring presence in the face of never ending worldwide change. I couldn't recommend her more!
SRVerified patient
Berena is an excellent therapist who has been invaluable to me as I work through a number of struggles following the pandemic. She is empathetic, open-minded, and takes a well-rounded approach to her treatment of patients. Working with Berena I've gained a number of tools and skills to help ground myself and remain in the present moment. She is without a doubt the best therapist I have ever had, and I value the insight she continually provides me into my own life and behavior.

I have had a great experience with Berena thus far. Within 10 minutes of scheduling an appointment with her online, I received a text message with her phone number and we introduced ourselves right away. Right off the bat, I felt like I was in good hands and that I had chosen well. During the session, I was a little nervous having never been to therapy before, but she was very patient with letting me ramble and offered kind advice and guidance. If you are in need and looking for a therapist, I would strongly recommend Berena.

I'm writing this review from a very bittersweet mindset -- very grateful for all that Berena has taught me and the work that she has invested in me over the past 7 months, but sad that it is ending as I am changing insurance.
I initially reached out to Berena as I was experiencing a lot of stress/anxiety from some family and relationship dynamics. Over the 7 months that I worked with her, we practiced general talk therapy -- with some art therapy sessions sprinkled in -- over a range of different subjects that helped me understand more elements of my life to help evolve my perspective and mindfulness. She has helped me feel more comfortable in the state of my relationships, my life and the world (especially during COVID-19) that has helped me maintain a sense of peace throughout so much change.
As I stop my sessions with Berena, I feel confident in that I have the tools necessary to continue my practice. In reflecting over this time, I find myself constantly referring to the analogies, breathing exercises and thoughts that she left me with over the many sessions that we had, incorporating these into my daily life and perspective.
I would highly recommend Berena to anyone seeking help managing/understanding anxiety, relationships or to just have a better understanding of oneself.

Berena is wonderful. It was my first time doing therapy, and she made it as easy and welcoming as possible. From the initial call to help me understand what to expect - all the way to our weekly sessions to help unpack certain feelings and emotions I’ve been experiencing. She’s thoughtful, personable, and actionable in her approach for helping me understand and learn new methods for coping with ongoing issues. It’s definitely changed my view on the benefits of therapy, especially during an odd time like this pandemic. The ease of teletherapy has definitely lowered the barriers overall.

I was surprised by how much I got out of our first session. It was an intake, and I really felt listened to and seen in a way I’ve rarely experienced with other therapists. Great first appointment and looking forward to delving deeper in future sessions.

Berena Wasserstein made me feel comfortable and well listened to. I didn’t feel judged. I have been talking with her each week for a few weeks now. In our sessions, I’ve learned tools that I can apply outside. This has led me to feel more confident and have been able to address stress in a better way. I highly recommend her!
ABVerified patient
I was stuck professionally and personally when I reached out to Berena. I met with her for a few months until I started working again. I felt that it was very productive. She listened to me, pointed me to outside resources that helped, gave me tools to use in my own life. This was my first time in therapy and it was a good experience.
ODVerified patient
Berena is a very sincere and thoughtful therapist. She takes an individualized, creative approach that is highly effective. I appreciate her empathy and professionalism.
CTVerified patient
Berena is patient and kind and always on time. I have enjoyed our sessions and recommend her to anyone looking for a professional who will make you feel safe and respected. She listens and takes our sessions in whatever direction they need to go. She and the work we have done together have impacted my life tremendously; I can't say enough to explain how great she is!
SIVerified patient
Our daughter has been seeing Berena for a few months, and so far, it's been working out really well. We are relieved that our daughter actually wants to go to her sessions, which has been a battle with a previous therapist. Her resistance was largely due to her ADHD making it hard to sit through a session talking and her depression affecting her lack of motivation and confidence in change. But this therapy is based on doing art together, and it's a great motivator for our daughter. She actually enjoys the sessions! And she doesn't find them boring, nor is she complaining about too much talking, which is smoothly integrated with the process of creating something.
Berena is warm, approachable, insightful, intuitive, and committed. She has been a calming force during our daughter's crisis and my own distress. When I consult her with a particular issue, she invariably gives me a perspective I had not considered before (without ever making me feel ignorant or guilty). It helps me tremendously to get out of my own one-track thinking and approach to my daughter, understand her better, and be more helpful from my end. Berena also seems genuinely concerned and involved in our daughter's well being, taking an active interest. She has been very flexible with accommodating our needs and returns phone calls promptly, even while she's in transit. Also, having two offices helps a great deal with scheduling. We are very grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her.
RLVerified patient
Berena is an outstanding therapist. She is extremely empathetic, warm and an amazing listener. Her insight and creative interventions has helped me get to the root of my conflicts that I have been struggling with. She truly rises above other therapists that only offer talk therapy. I felt like a weight had lifted off of me upon my first meeting with her. I would recommend her to anyone.
