PSYCHOTHERAPIST



Jill Meredith Berlin, PhD MA-MFT


Individual, Couple and Family Therapy


413-549-2773

Stressful situations, difficult people, social injustice, and unmet needs all contribute to the intense flood of emotions that leaves people feeling anxious, depressed, angry, frightened and hopeless. When you learn about your personal mix of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, you can take charge of the overpowering emotions and self-defeating responses that accompany distress. Therapy is a solution-focused and collaborative activity that can help you:

  • Build positive emotional experiences
  • Develop distress tolerance
  • Create a self-soothing plan
  • Focus on the present moment
  • Enhance your personal strengths
  • Utilize social support networks
  • Promote self-care
  • Strengthen self-esteem
  • Improve interpersonal effectiveness
  • Reduce stress through relaxation

Jill Berlin earned a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Antioch University and a PhD in History of Art at Yale University. She is an experienced educator, lecturer, scholar, and arts administrator as well as group leader in affect management therapies. Her areas of expertise include:

  • LGBTQ identity emergence, transitions, and family support
  • Adolescent and young adult issues
  • Women's life stage transitions
  • Couple and family relationships: divorce and stepfamilies
  • Educational and workplace issues
