I've only had a couple sessions with Bernadette, but I have already found her to be am asset to my mental health journey and truly caring person who has proven her experience in the field after only a short time working with me. She is kind, bright, funny, and most importantly, perceptive. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.

Bernie is one of the best and most experienced therapists I've ever come across. She really goes above and beyond and for the first time I feel really heard and seen (and I also know I can't get away with just saying what I think I'm supposed to say!)

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Even from our first session Bernadette has been such a wonderful person to talk to as she really listens to me and understands my troubles. She doesn’t make it feel awkward or uncomfortable and i look forward to our sessions every week
Bernie has been an amazing therapist for me in a time of high stress and volatile emotions. They are amazingly talented and seem to just know my issues before I can even form a sentence to explain anything clearly. Sometimes all it takes is for a twitch in my expression or a pause between words - that I don’t even notice at times - for her to pick up on a deeper meaning. Bernadette Wilkie is extremely respectful and understanding of everything, never judging. Despite an environment of little pressure and stress, we are always able to tread on new grounds to explore hidden emotions and make good progress during every session. An amazing therapist, I can only give my highest praise.
