Since you have come to this place I will assume that you are struggling with something very difficult for you and that you are searching for effective ways to ease or finally end the pain. Sometimes your suffering can be traced to emotional, physical or spiritual injury, trauma or loss that you experienced many years ago, or it may have been very recent. At this moment only you know how you are suffering, what it is doing to you and your loved ones and the price that you are paying. Dealing with it alone can be very challenging, frustrating and frightening. This does not have to continue. Support is available.

I have found that the most important factor in any successful therapy is the chemistry between therapist and the people he/she works with. I use the therapeutic relationship to understand what problems an individual faces outside the office, what blocks them from accomplishing what they want for themselves. A therapeutic relationship is often one of the most intimate and private relationships one can have. I try to help people develop their own sense of agency to gain control over their lives. I believe people want to be seen and heard. I enjoy being able to provide that for them.

I've always been a "people person" but started work in the field of technology. When laid off after 20 years, I saw it as a blessing in disguise, went back to school, and received my Masters of Social Work. I bring a sense of enthusiasm and energy which combined with some of the wisdom I've gained in life help me provide a high quality service to a diverse range of clients. Sessions are specific to each client's needs and can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness, relaxation techniques and other approaches.

People have different needs- some thrive in a therapy that is open ended, emphasizing self exploration and personal growth while others need a more focused approach. Sometimes a supportive, non-judgmental setting is essential, other times people may need a push to help them confront their problems and current life dilemmas. At times having a space of your own is necessary while other times the problem is in a relationship and it makes sense to come in with your significant other. Whatever the situation, the most important factor in successful therapy is the fit between therapist and client.

I pride myself on working with teenagers and adults who have not found success in previous therapy experiences. Over the past 26 years of my professional endeavors, I have prevented many families from having to send their teenagers to residential treatment centers, have helped families to remain intact, and have allowed individuals who fall within the Autism Spectrum Disorder to achieve full lives. My work with clients who have ADHD has allowed these individuals to be succesful in school, the community, within the family system, and within their workplace of choice.

We construct our emotional world based on our past experience. What we attend to in the present, and what we expect in the future, is also based on our past experience. Our initial work is to understand your past and how it shapes your perceptions of challenges. As we learn how these perceptions came into existence, we then work toward making different choices in our interactions with others. In this manner we attain understanding and acceptance of our "self" and others.

Since 1978 I have provided and supervised psychotherapy to approximately ten thousand individuals of all ages with social anxiety. The result of this process has been the development of The Berent Treatment Methodology, which has adapted to the specific needs of social anxiety sufferers, rather than fitting the problem of social anxiety into the narrow confines of existing modalities. Treatment integrates physiological, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional dynamics. The Berent Treatment Methodology is effective for: public speaking anxiety disorder, fear of being noticeably nervous as in erythrophobia and hyper-hidrosis, performance anxiety, selective mutism, pervasive social avoidance, and dependent personality.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
