Hi there. I am very honored that you stopped by. I believe that life can be a roller coaster, one minute it feels that you’ve got everything under control, and a minute later it feels as if your juggling too many tasks at hand. You start feeling overwhelmed, and it almost feels like everything is falling apart. It feels like you have been stretched too thin. You are trying to have a smile on the outside but suffering to balance yourself from the inside. I hear you, as I myself, am going through my healing journey. Wouldn’t feel amazing to have a balanced life where you can feel hopeful, calm, and excited about what the day may bring? I am a Compassionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the sunshine state, Florida. I obtained my Master of Science in Counselor Education: Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree from Florida International University in 2016. I attained facilitator certificate in Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) in 2018. I am a huge fan that we are all unique and understand life differently from each other. Therefore, I tailor my therapeutic approach depending on the uniqueness of each client’s needs. I use multiple therapeutic techniques but tend to focus on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (thought process), Person-Centered Therapy, and the clients’ strengths to inspire my clients to overcome their obstacles and live a balanced life. I offer my sessions in a safe, supportive and non-judgmental manner where you can be absolutely yourself. The journey of healing is like hiking. It can be painful and tiring, and once you reach the top of the hill, it is rewarding. As a therapist, I believe that individuals have the ability and the potential to bloom at their own pace. It is my honor to guide you through your healing journey one step at a time.

Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Madeline Berry and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy for wide variety of issues and populations for approximately 5 years. I graduated from New York University in 2014 with a Master's in Social Work, and I also hold a Master's in Experimental Psychology from St. John's University. At the beginning of my career, I worked for a NYC hospital system providing mental health support and therapy to adults, families, women, and teenagers. I worked mostly in the Maternal Child Health Department of the hospital, providing therapy and support to women who were pregnant, post-partum, families who had babies in the NICU, etc; however, often assisted in pediatrics, the general medical unit, and the emergency department. For the last two years, I have worked in a primary care clinic, providing short-term counseling to adults who struggle with, but not limited to stress, depression, anxiety, chronic medical conditions, new medical diagnosis', etc. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, I have had the opportunity to provide adults with mental health support and counseling virtually, and also hosted a virtual support group for those struggling with the effects of the pandemic. I would describe my approach as collaborative, goal-oriented, and client-centered. I use a wide-variety of therapeutic methods and modules, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Problem-solving Therapy to meet the client where they are, and to also provide them with the tools and coping skills that work best for them. I believe that therapy is a team approach, between a therapist and their client, to help the client reach their goals and develop healthier skills, tools, and habits. Reaching out for help can be scary and leave us feeling vulnerable. I hope to help you feel comfortable, and confident to work toward your goals, as well as feel supported through the process. I look forward to working with you!
