What keeps you up at night? What keeps you from being successful?
Bernadette specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, OCD, panic, phobias, and more. Her expertise in this area allows her to provide evidence-based treatments addressing underlying causes to promote long-term recovery.
Bernadette is known for creating a genuine and safe atmosphere for her clients to finally address their challenges, where they can openly voice their thoughts, fears, and experiences. At times, she may challenge her clients, but at the same time, she gives her clients tools, provides support, offers warmth and a sense of humor.
She combines her extensive knowledge of exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP) with various evidence-based modalities such as cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to provide a comprehensive and holistic treatment approach.
