Compassionate and down-to-earth Therapist

by freshsprout at Citysearch

I came across Bernie Soon for the first time online - actually on here and on Bernie's website - and I feel so lucky to have her as a first-time psychotherapy patient. I have sort of a different problem than the other reviewers on here - where my problem came from years of chronic, toxic parenting.. but the therapy of EMDT is the same. Bernie listens to you in a very comforting, serene, Zen environment and she offers sound suggestions. I plan on continuing to go back to her, also as a lifestyle/leadership coach.

• Pros: Ambiance, environment, private
• Cons: street parking

Bernie Soon is an insightful and caring therapist

by larry at Citysearch

I went to Bernie Soon because of an old cervical sprain that never properly healed and was continuing to cause me problems. Bernie showed me how to slow down and pay attention to the body. Using her background in EMDR we worked through the trauma that resulted in the neck problems. As a result I get "triggered" less and less and feel a renewed confidence in my body. I highly recommend her services.

My experience with Bernie Soon was an incredibly positive one. After suffering severe panic attacks and depression I contacted Ms. Soon after reading about EMDR therapy on the internet. I found her techniques to be extremely comforting and effective. After just one visit I had a complete change in my mental state which allowed me to again feel free of anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I went to her for one follow up session primarily to let her know how sucessful her technique had been. I would highly recommend her. She is lovely, her place of business is very tranquil and she is very professional. The parking is difficult but other than that it was a very positive experience.

• Pros: Highly effective, Very professional, Compassionate
• Cons: parking is difficult

A Safe Place to Work on the Self

Bernie Soon creates a very comforting and open atmosphere, which allows you to deeply explore yourself and become in tune with your center. Her sessions are all-encompassing and focus on the individual's needs, getting to the core of the problem and allowing a person to really connect to the root of their issue within their body and mind. I am happy to have found someone who takes psychotherapy to a hightened level, helping to bring me in touch with my spirituality and core.

• Pros: calming environment, flexible times, non-judgmental care

I found Ms. Soon to be a master of her craft. She is knowledgeable, intuitive and creates an inviting and comforting atmosphere that is a cornerstone of therapy. Her EMDR techniques were amazing in their effectiveness. I cannot recommend her too highly.
