Dr Bruce Berman

Clinical Psychologist

“I am a well trained, experienced therapist who provides individual, couples, family, and sex therapy as well as divorce support services.”

About Me

I offer support for individuals, couples, and families seeking positive change in their relationships and lives. Drawing on extensive experience, I help you navigate challenges, strengthen connections, and find clarity. For those facing separation, I provide dedicated divorce support. We can explore communication patterns or develop practical strategies, ensuring you gain tools to apply between sessions. My aim is to create a collaborative space where you feel heard and ready to move forward.

Approach

Experience with individual, couple, family and sexual concerns shapes a pragmatic, client-led rhythm—sessions are focused, candid, and attuned to what matters most to you. Based in New York and working in English, I keep a steady office pace: we set clear goals, practice communication skills in-session, and outline small, doable steps to try between meetings. Clinical supervision and psychoanalytic thinking bring gentle curiosity to patterns, while divorce support emphasizes planning and emotional containment so choices feel clearer. Those seeking practical, respectful collaboration often find this way of working helpful.
