About Bertha
Bertha Taillefer is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of practice in New York. She draws on long experience to help people who are coping with stress, anxiety, ADHD, grief, anger, and family concerns. She aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and encouraging.
Bertha focuses on practical conversations that address what is happening now. She listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes sessions around those priorities. That can mean building routines to manage attention, learning simple tools for calming, or finding words to express grief.
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session. She works with people at their own pace and adapts the plan when needs change. The therapist explains options plainly so clients can take part in decisions about care.
Sessions mix problem-solving and emotional support. For stress and anxiety, she helps identify triggers and small changes that make daily life easier. For family issues, she helps people talk through patterns and set realistic goals for change.
Bertha encourages parents and caregivers to reach out when they feel overwhelmed. She offers a steady presence and practical steps aimed at making daily life feel more manageable. If you are ready to start, she asks that you complete a short matching questionnaire to get scheduled.
