Ms. Bernie Soon, MA, MFT
Exceptionally
Gifted Body Psychotherapist 01/18/06 "My
experience with Bernie Soon was an incredibly positive one. After suffering
severe panic attacks and depression I contacted Ms. Soon after reading about EMDR
therapy on the internet. I found her techniques to be extremely comforting and
effective. After just one visit I had a complete change in my mental state
which allowed me to again feel free of anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I
went to her for one follow up session primarily to let her know how successful
her technique had been. I would highly recommend her. She is lovely, her place
of business is very tranquil and she is very professional. It was a very
positive experience."
Pros: Highly effective, Very professional, Compassionate.

"I came
across Bernie Soon for the first time online - actually on here and on Bernie's
website - and I feel so lucky to have her as a first-time psychotherapy
patient. I have sort of a different problem than the other reviewers on here -
where my problem came from years of chronic, toxic parenting.. But the therapy
of EMDR is the same. Bernie listens to you in a very comforting, serene, Zen environment
and she offers sound suggestions. I plan on continuing to go back to her, also
as a lifestyle/leadership coach." Pros: Ambiance, environment, private.

"I went to
Bernie Soon because of an old cervical sprain that never properly healed and
was continuing to cause me problems. Bernie showed me how to slow down and pay
attention to the body. Using her background in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing we
worked through the trauma that resulted in the neck problems. As a result I get
"triggered" less and less and feel a renewed confidence in my body. I
highly recommend her services."

"Bernie
Soon creates a very comforting and open atmosphere, which allows you to deeply
explore yourself and become in tune with your center. Her sessions are
all-encompassing and focus on the individual's needs, getting to the core of
the problem and allowing a person to really connect to the root of their issue
within their body and mind. I am happy to have found someone who takes
psychotherapy to a heightened level, helping to bring me in touch with my
spirituality and core.
Pros: calming environment, flexible times,
non-judgmental care."

Recommendations For Bernie from LinkedIn:
"I met Bernadette Soon over a year ago and since then a brand new world has opened its doors to
me. I had interviewed other therapists but I
found myself unhappy with the more conventional ways of treating my problem. EMDR was totally unknown to me and I have
to say that after just one session, I felt and saw the light at the end of my endless misery. I felt immediately something
was in motion in me as well as a huge peaceful place where anxiety & discomfort were no longer alive. * It
is difficult to explain but her tranquil and very professional way of treating her patient, I am sure make her a highly sought
after expert. Her techniques not only bring peace to you but her intuitive way of helping you will do marvelous things to
your entire well being and soul. * Since my therapy ended, my energy level and enthusiasm have quadrupled along with a thirst for
more in life and an incomparable success level which I have never experienced in my Business before. Thank you Bernadette,
I would highly recommend you to anybody that seeks serious results for a life changing experience." March 12, 2010. XX hired

“Bernie Soon is an amazing EMDR therapist.
It is subtle work, but
works on levels you didn't even know you had. I have had 5 of my best friends
go to her, all very different, and we all have changed profoundly through
working with her. She is completely trustworthy and discreet. There is
absolutely no cross-talk. Bernie's manner is soothing, comforting and it works!
I cannot recommend her enough. And what's great about working with her, is that
she is honest. She does not want you to become dependent on her. She will tell
me when I have had enough and to take a few months off. I took six months off
from seeing her and then went back for a few sessions before I got married. It
is so wonderful to have a therapist like that. I have had others who never want
you to leave, and its horrible. I love Bernie.” February 2, 2010. Top qualities: Great Results,
