My Philosophy

Mona H. Berman has worked in a variety of settings in the treatment of helping others since 1981.  She has worked in a private practice setting on a full time basis since 1995. 

Mona takes an aggressive but firm and  loving approach to the treatment of anxiety disorders. She believes in quality of life and living a life in which anxiety does not make the decisions.  She is known to push her patients towards full functioning so that they can live their life to its fullest.  She feels that children have 2 jobs to do in life--1) to go to school and 2) to have fun.-- anything that gets in the way of a child being able to do these 2 jobs to the best of their abilities has to be dealt with.
