The Berent Treatment Method
During my 45 plus years of clinical experience with individuals of all ages and functioning levels I have seen everything from a total “cure” to the problem being permanent; and everything in between. Resolution for social anxiety and related co-morbidity requires disciplined and intentional work. In fact, many of my patients who have done well in the program have said “it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done”. Think of treatment as “cross fit training”.
Treatment is available for individuals with initiative for their mental health. This includes such challenges as public speaking anxiety, performance anxiety, and fear of being noticeably nervous as in blushing, hyper-hidrosis, voice freeze, and panic. It is also available for individuals without initiative for their mental health. This includes children, adolescents, and adults who are not launching due to avoidance and over-dependence. In these cases, please be clear treatment starts with parents.
To get started, call 516-872-9383 and leave your number—I’ll return your call as soon as possible. Please note that I do not communicate via text. You can also reach me at jbcsw@aol.com. My approach is rooted in the philosophy that your most valuable asset is time. To ensure a good fit, we’ll have a brief phone conversation to determine compatibility. Please be aware that the current wait time for an initial session is approximately 6 weeks.
Each 30-minute session is $275, and during the initial phase of treatment, three sessions per month are required. All sessions are conducted online only. I operate on an out-of-network basis for insurance, and payment is accepted via credit card.
