LMFT, 9 years of experience
Hello! I'm Norit Bercovicz (pronounced Nor-reet Berk-o-vitz), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#122569) and a Registered Art Therapist in California. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Rutgers University and a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and Art Therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University, I've dedicated over 7 years to working with with diverse populations, from children to military veterans. In my practice, informed by personal growth and training, I blend Art Therapy, mindfulness practices, and more to promote heightened awareness. Embracing a client-centered approach, I meet you where you are, whether or not that involves art-making. Specializing in day-to-day challenges like anxiety, depression, and adjustment difficulties, I also guide individuals in transforming uncertainty into opportunity. Beyond my therapeutic work, I find joy in nature—whether hiking, camping, or on a backpacking trip with loved ones. I recharge by spending time with family, friends, and my delightful fur baby, Shoko.
In our initial therapy session, clients can anticipate a warm and collaborative environment where we'll discuss their current concerns, goals, and expectations. Together, we'll begin to establish a foundation of trust, ensuring a personalized and effective therapeutic journey tailored to their unique needs.
My greatest strengths as a mental health provider lie in my empathetic approach, fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their challenges. I bring a diverse toolkit that includes art therapy, mindfulness practices, and a client-centered focus, empowering individuals to navigate their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
I am uniquely positioned to support adults facing day-to-day challenges, including anxiety, depression, and adjustment difficulties, by providing empathetic and tailored therapeutic interventions.

I just finished my first therapy session with Norit Bercovicz and she was very kind and caring. I loved how she explained everything we were going to do and encouraged me to ask questions or to communicate when I did not feel comfortable with something. She is very open minded as well and I love that. Looking forward to the next session !

I've been working with Norit for a month, and already feel a sense of trust and safety in our sessions. She holds space with warmth, listens deeply, and reflects things back with clarity and care. Her presence feels grounding, and her gentle guidance is helping me connect more with myself. I'm grateful for the support and look forward to continuing this journey together.

Norit is fabulous, kind and gentle. She challenges your thoughts and will recognize patterns to help improve your thinking.
In my mental health private practice, I have successfully implemented Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to empower clients in navigating life challenges. By fostering cognitive defusion, acceptance of emotions, and present moment awareness, individuals develop a resilient mindset. Values clarification guides goal-setting, and committed actions lead to tangible improvements aligned with clients' core values. This approach enables a transformative therapeutic journey focused on embracing personal values and achieving sustainable well-being.
