New to Grow
Hello, my name is Mordechai Berman, LPC, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals and families improve their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. My practice serves children, teens, adults, and older adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. I am particularly passionate about supporting older adults as they navigate the challenges of aging, loss, and finding meaning in later life, as well as helping children and families build stronger relationships, emotional resilience, and lasting positive change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where every client feels heard, respected, and empowered to grow.
During our first session, my primary goal is to get to know you and better understand what brings you to therapy. We will discuss your current concerns, personal history, strengths, goals, and any challenges you may be experiencing. I believe that establishing a strong therapeutic relationship is essential, so I focus on creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. Together, we will begin developing a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals, while identifying practical steps to help you move toward the life you want to live.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to build strong, trusting relationships with clients from diverse backgrounds and at different stages of life. Clients often describe me as compassionate, patient, approachable, and genuinely invested in their well-being. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. I also bring extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, and older adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. By combining evidence-based approaches with warmth, empathy, and practical problem-solving, I help clients gain insight, develop effective coping skills, strengthen relationships, and make meaningful progress toward their goals. I am passionate about ensuring that every client receives individualized care and feels heard, respected, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
My ideal clients are children, teens, adults, and older adults who are seeking support to improve their emotional well-being, strengthen relationships, and navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, grief, life transitions, and interpersonal difficulties. I am particularly passionate about helping older adults cope with the emotional and practical challenges associated with aging, loss, changing health conditions, and finding meaning and purpose in later life. Whether a client is working to improve emotional regulation, social skills, family relationships, or overall quality of life, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive, and goal-oriented environment where they feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful and lasting change.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core treatment approach that I utilize to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge cognitive distortions, and develop healthier, more adaptive ways of interpreting situations. Through skill-building, problem-solving, and practical coping strategies, clients learn to better manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral challenges. I tailor CBT interventions to each individual's developmental level and unique needs, helping them build self-awareness, emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence both in therapy and in their daily live
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Rogerian (Person-Centered) Therapy is a foundational approach in my practice that emphasizes empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and accepted. Through active listening and reflective responses, I help clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace. I believe that individuals possess the capacity for growth and positive change when provided with the right therapeutic relationship. This approach is particularly effective in building trust, strengthening self-awareness, fostering self-acceptance, and empowering clients to make meaningful changes in their lives and relationships.
