Dr. Arlene Berger is everything that you need when you come to the stage in your life when you need some extra help. She's insightful and knowledgeable in ways that allow you to look at things differently and head down a different course. To find a caring doctor who actually thinks about you when the door closes behind you is a very rare find. I had never been to see anyone in my life for help. I had always handled my own problems. However, when I did realize that I needed some help and not just someone who listens someone who has the knowledge, experience, wisdom and foresight to help design a new plan for me that brings calm back into my life. Dr. Berger can help you if you find yourself needing a guiding hand to deal with what has been thrown at you. If you're looking for someone who really knows how people tick both you and who you may be dealing with then you won't go wrong in placing your trust in Dr. Berger.

Dr. Arlene Berger is a wonderful, caring therapist. She is available to her patients as needed. She has taken the time to make herself available via a phone session during her vacation because of an emergency situation I experienced. This showed me how dedicated she is to making sure I am well.

I work in a field where I have the potential to be exposed to traumatic experiences every day. Dr. Berger has been instrumental in helping me cope with the life threatening events that happen to others that I am involved with while at work. Also, she has helped me set boundaries with those in my family and at my work to help me enjoy better relationships with others in a healthy and productive way.

I could not be more pleased with having Dr. Berger as a therapist. I highly recommend her to others.

Dr. Berger Genuinely cares about her clients. She has been my son's therapist for over three years and will continue to be his therapist.

She listens to every detail and has often given extra time for us when needed. It's not always easy to end a session at the end of the hour when progress is being made.

She has been available for emergencies. Being very quick to think logically in a situation. She has had years of experience to draw from.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Berger.

Stay away from Dr. Arlene K. Berger specifically if you are seeking family therapy where the goal is to improve a relationship, marriage, or family issue. Dr. Berger has fallen asleep during sessions, but more importantly she has a problem with honesty. She will play both sides of the fence and will give both partners (if seeking therapy together) totally inconsistent advice. In my experience, Dr. Berger lied directly to both my fiance and I which ultimately caused more problems and confusion in our relationship as we each expected that she was being honest in our individual sessions with her. This practitioner is very personable, but has questionable character which will become apparent after probably 10-15 visits. Her goal is to keep you as a patient for as long as possible, even if that means lying to patients or at a minimum giving at least one patient knowingly false information because she may believe it is what is best for that person or is what they want to hear. In any event, my marriage has improved markedly after leaving her services behind. If divorce or further trauma is what you want, by all means, she is the Doctor for you.
