You are the guide when it comes to our time together. I am here to serve as a hands-on mentor. To support your growth with compassion, warmth, and a curiosity to go deeper.
If you are looking for someone to just sit there, nod their head, take notes, and reflect your words back to you, then you have come to the wrong place.
My approach to therapy is solutions-focused and direct. That means I ask a lot of questions and help provide the motivation you may need for change.
The main guiding principle that governs my work is establishing a sense of safety and trust. I create a non-judgmental space for you to vent, process, and unload anything and everything that may be transpiring.
There is a moment in the therapy process when it all clicks. When you surprise yourself by seeing life in a new light. When you try something that previously seemed insurmountable. These are moments to celebrate.
Sometimes, the celebration shows up as a twinkle in your eye. Or, as a grin of pride on your face.
Finally, you realize what you are capable of achieving. You are ready to turn all those plans and ideas into actions and accomplishments.
For me, being present for that moment is the most rewarding part of being a psychotherapist.
Testimonials
Love Masha — been going to her for years, the only therapist I truly connect with!
Masha helped me tremendously and I have seen so many therapists and sadly no one was ever able to help me like she was! Highly recommend her!
Masha is a great listener and helps me work through all the issues I present. She’s very knowledgeable and always makes me feel safe to express myself.
Found her to be incredibly sharp-she is one of the kindest and most helpful doctors I have ever spoken with. I am so blessed to have found her!
Really appreciated my sessions with Masha. She is kind and flexible. She helped me with my OCD issue big time and I have my notes from her as a lifetime lesson to hold on to whenever I am obsessing next time. So grateful to have met her when I needed help the most post quarantine days my OCD spiked and she was there to fix it right away.
This is the most rapid relief I have ever experienced from trauma and I’ve been to so many different therapists throughout the years. Best of the best!
Absolutely love Masha! I came to her during a pretty dark period in my life and I’ll forever be grateful to her for all the help she provided me with! Thank you doc!!!!
Masha was professional and so easy to talk to. She helped me through my most current issues with Panic attacks and major anxiety. She really helped me in such a way that I never thought anyone could. I feel much more in control of my life now and able to stand on my own two feet without fears. I owe her everything for allowing me to take control of my life.
Masha’s knowledge of trauma is unprecedented! Spectacular and wonderfully brilliant person and professional. I look forward to our sessions every week!
Talking to this therapist really helps me to open up in a way that I have never been able to before. After each visit, my concerns seem to melt away, and things become extremely clear. Love her!
Let me just begin to say that Masha literally saved my life. I came to see her when I was in a very dark place and lost all sight of hope. She has the best bedside manner of anyone I have ever seen and made me feel so at ease. Thanks to her, I am doing much better now and am living a happy and healthy life.
Masha is incredible! She is direct, which is exactly what I need. I’ve been seeking advice about an on again, off again relationship I was in for years. To be honest, no one has been able to get through to me until Masha. Since then, I’ve followed what she’s said and I feel myself gaining control not only of my relationship, but also of my emotions.
Masha is actually a hidden gem. She is just everything I would ever want in a therapist. Smart, knowledgeable, compassionate, and so down to earth! I absolutely love working with her and look forward to our sessions together because she’s the real deal.
From the sec I walked in I knew Masha was the right fit. Her warm and gentle manner was so welcoming. I found her to be really easy to talk to.
Great listener. It seems she really cares about patients.
Masha can deliver a necessary service to her clients. We all need someone that generally cares and wants to improve other's lives in such a holistic way. Give her a try and experience what can also be done for you.
I absolutely love Masha. I have been working with her for years and think that she is not only brilliant but she is also an awesome human being. She is caring, compassionate and bright. She has gotten me out of a bad place quickly each and every time. Thank you so much Masha, you are the best!
Thank you Masha, I have experienced so much relief from the second we started working together, you changed my life in ways I never knew could even happen for me!!!!
So easy to talk to, she changed my perspective on things instantly. Whoever says therapy doesn’t work has never spoken to Masha. Thanks for everything!
Really knows her stuff, great listener and just caring human being all around. Put it this way I came in a mess and am fully functioning.
Never thought I'd be able to find the help I needed until I spoke to Masha. She's helpful without being pushy, and holds me accountable without being judgemental. She's very accommodating with her schedule and always makes me feel like I'm her number one priority during our sessions. It's been really difficult to find someone to help me through my issues, but she always puts things in a different perspective
My visit with her was amazing!!! She made me feel comfortable to talk to her and open up. I felt a connection with her from the first phone call and that means everything to me.
After trying many therapists, I gave it one more try with Masha and instantly felt that it was a safe space for me to begin working on myself with her guidance. She is professional, thorough and detail oriented, while providing guidance, support and empathy regardless of how ridiculous I may have sounded. I definitely recommend her, especially for all the cynics out there!
Masha is an excellent listener. I felt understood right away. She gave me great advice on how to cope with my particular problem. It is a work in progress but I know because of her I have the tools to move forward. I highly recommend her services.
Amazing amazing professional. If you have any problematic issue, and I have had the whole gamut, this is the professional to turn to. I had problems with my wife, OCD, trauma, and a whole bunch of other intertwined problems. Masha made me feel totally normal and accepted and helped me with each issue fully and successfully. Will not disappoint!!!!!!!!
I started working with Masha after I gave birth to my child, and am so blessed to have met her. I was suffering from a severe case of postpartum depression and anxiety, and I do not know what I would have done if it wasn’t for her warmth and knowledge...she literally put me back on my feet and made me enjoy motherhood again.
When I came to see Masha, I was literally falling apart-not only is she one of the most intelligent, kind, and humble therapists, she is one of the most experienced professionals I have ever met with! Thank you Dr. Berkovich-you saved my life an zapped my panic attacks!
Life’s journey often takes surprising twists and turns. After feeling unfulfilled in my first career, I began taking elective psychiatry courses. That’s where I became fascinated by the human mind and the behavior it produces.
In the decades since, I have collaborated with numerous organizations as a way of giving back to the community. These include:
