 John Berkowitz, LCSW
As a Clinical Psychotherapist and School Psychologist for over 12 years I am genuinely committed to creating a safe space to help facilitate
and enhance the quality of life for all of my clients. I counsel children, adolescents, families, adults, and couples.
My training and post graduate experience is very eclectic and includes the following approaches; gestalt, and cognitive behavioral therapy
for adults and adolescents, play therapy for children, Ackerman's therapy for families, and Imago couples work.
I am well versed in many aspects of psychological adjustment including anxiety, phobias, depression, survivors of abuse, social difficulties,
child and adolescent behavioral management, job related issues, general stress reduction, and couples and partners therapy.
I have run a myriad of groups as well. I am a certified Yoga, Breath Work & Meditation (YBM) instructor and incorporate this training
into the therapeutic process. I incorporate a holistic approach to the therapeutic process - emotional, behavioral, spiritual,
and cognitive aspects of the client are vital to the process of counseling. We all experience times in life when we feel a bit off-center.
Therapy can provide needed relief, a sense of peace, release us from anxiety, and empower us to reach our potential. I regard the process
of counseling as completely personal and tailor it to each individual, family or couple. We will set the goals and the time frame
to fit your needs and expectations. If you would like to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions regarding the process of
being in therapy or any of the services we offer, please feel to call or email.
