PSYCHOTHERAPY

Dr. Jenn Berman is a licensed therapist in private practice in Beverly Hills who has been working in the psychology field for 15 years. Dr. Berman works with a wide variety of issues including: relationship issues, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, parenting issues, sexual abuse, and post traumatic stress disorder. She performs individual therapy, couple’s therapy, as well as family therapy. Dr. Jenn works with clients of all ages but generally does not see children under the age of eight.

Dr. Jenn has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy and a license in Marriage and Family Therapy. Using her broad education and years of clinical experience she adapts her treatment approach to each individual client. While she most often uses a psychodynamic approach with cognitive behavioral interventions, Dr. Jenn uses an eclectic approach to treatment in order to meet her patient's needs.

Dr. Jenn recognizes that psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” is a collaborative process. The psychotherapist and client must work together to enable the client to better understand his or her behaviors in order to improve quality of life. Dr. Jenn teaches her clients compassion for themselves and how to achieve self-care. Despite her empathy, Dr. Berman doesn't hesitate to push her clients to confront their issues.

Dr. Jenn is a strong believer in the differences therapy can make. Nine out of ten Americans surveyed by Consumer Reports stated that psychotherapy had helped them. In another recent major national study, half of the patients surveyed reported making progress after eight sessions of therapy and 75 percent reported improvements after six months.
