Dr. Elaine Berman 1712 Lago Vista Boulevard, Palm Harbor, FL 34685

"I was a patient of Dr. Berman’s for 7ish years. She helped me grow tremendously. We worked on so much and I’m for ever grateful for the opportunity to work with her on my personal growth. I’d recommend her over and over again."

""Each in person visit was about an hour long. She does telemed also. Dr. Berman is very professional. She really knows what to do to help people. I saw two other psychologists prior to finding Dr. Berman and she was able to help me, while the other two were not able to help me. I definitely recommend Dr. Berman.""

"I appreciate Dr. Berman so much. She is professional and straightforward. I felt very comfortable and safe in her home. I am very thankful that had the opportunity to work with Dr. Berman. I would recommend her to my colleagues and friends."

"Worst experience of my life with a mental health “professional.” I would show up to appts on time, and wait 15 minutes everytime while she told me “Just a minute” and continued to heat up and eat food in the kitchen. Then she would check her watch the entire time. I came to her for problems with depression and past substance abuse, and every single session she would find a way to bring my weight into the topics, and asking if I wanted to try her hypnosis sessions. Everytime she’d bring it up, I would tell her I don’t have a problem with my weight, but she would insist over and over again. The final straw: when I happily found out I was pregnant, she scowled and simply asked “So, how is your boyfriend taking this news?” despite me never having said negative things regarding him or children. I feel bad for anyone who tries to give her a chance. She should seriously consider giving up her license and retiring already, as she is unprofessional and offers no real insight into the issues you are there for. I am now very happy with my new therapist that I have been seeing for four months."

"WILL BE LATE TO YOUR APPOINTMENTS. Absurdly late. Comically late. Will be 20 minutes late to appointments THAT TAKE PLACE IN HER HOUSE. Have fun sitting in her office for a half hour because she said she was running to the restroom and never came back. Bring a book maybe. Claimed for a year to be a "specialist" (that is, a higher cost for the patient) and billed us an extra ten bucks per visit before we heard from the insurance company that was a lie. Never did get that money back. Had no awareness of basic psychology office concepts ("diagnostic code" was one we had a lot of trouble getting her to comprehend, as was the idea of printing a receipt on company letterhead rather than a post it note). Repeatedly tried to convince me to let her hypnotize me????"
