Bernadette Wood, LCSW

Bernadette is awesome! All work and no play..... is not her style, which is helpful for me. I was nervous about the clinical nature of therapy but she is very personable, and real, not just someone who asks "and how does that make you feel". I recommended betterhelp and bernadette to friends and family after only 2 sessions.

Toni is one of the kindest souls I think I have ever met. She is completely non-judgmental, takes time to listen to my concerns, and has helped me learn so much about myself. Especially when it comes to what events and adverse situations in my childhood have contributed to my reactions and relationship styles as an adult. I have been working with Toni for just about 10 months now, and I appreciate every moment of her time. Thank you, Toni, for all that you do to help me live a happier, healthier life.

We’ve only connected once so far through a video session but I can tell that she’s very attentive and caring. She seems like someone who can also hold me accountable when I am not putting the effort in that I should be. I feel like she will be someone great to have beside me as I grow and meld into the mom, wife, and person I would like to show up as. Thank you so far.

Written on Mar 03, 2022 after therapy with Bernadette for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, and bipolar disorder

I absolutely LOVE Bernadette! I just completed counseling with her for a total of 6 months. I started off counseling feeling so lost in so many avenues from family, to immigration, and caregiving. I probably had the biggest blow up I've had when I first started counseling. From then, I really found ways to calm down. She really understood my situation and knew what I needed to incorporate: self-care, boundaries, meditation, earthing, hobbies, being a listening board to my spouse, accepting it is as it is, but most importantly taking time for myself and having a life for myself outside of caregiving. I cannot thank her enough. She is not only a counselor, but she really speaks to you as a friend. I would recommend Bernadette to anybody!!

I feel Bernadette was perfectly matched with me.

Very rare to find someone so skillful yet so empathetic.
I was previously paired with a counsellor who I did not gel with and I am so happy that I followed my intuition to move to Toni instead. She has already helped me so much in a short time.

I have spent years searching for a counselor that I could connect with but i never had luck so i had given up for a couple of years. I had hit a rough patch and couldn't put it off any longer so I reached out and signed up for Betterhelp. It took a couple tries but eventually I was matched with Bernadette. She has been very responsive , warm and takes the time to understand my needs. It feels effortless to open up and share the difficult parts of my life. She is very straightforward while maintaining her warm and positive energy. She maintains a safe space to allow me to feel comfortable to open up and grow through this process. I felt immediate relief once I was matched with Bernadette. Through our first meeting I knew I had been matched with the right counselor. I am just starting my journey here but im very confident that I've found someone who can help me grow through this challenging time.
