You’ve been through things most people don’t talk about — and you’re still here. Whether you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol or drugs, healing from sexual trauma, or rebuilding after domestic violence, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m Letrecia, an LCSW and Master’s level Certified Addiction Professional with 20+ years in behavioral health and trauma-informed care. My approach is warm, direct, and practical — we build real skills, not just insight. I use CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR. Virtual sessions, evenings and weekends available.
As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.
Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Elisha Bernstein and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I attended Simmons University in Social Work. Most of my clinical background is working in acute behavioral health needs.
For the past 3.5 years, I’ve had the privilege of leading a multi-site inpatient unit, supporting individuals with persistent mental illness and substance use as they work toward stability and recovery. Now, I’m stepping into private practice and writing my next chapter. I’m licensed in Florida and passionate about making care accessible and meaningful. I’d love to connect—does this sound like a fit for you?
My philosophy is very Jungian-based. I offer a masculine perspective to help those in learning about how to help relate to themselves better and then offer better relationships with others. My work is centered on the truth that when we see reality we are set free. The matrix keeps you stuck and enslaved. My mission is to help people free themselves so they can connect to their true nature and feel more fulfilled. I use health, nature, sexuality, and spirit to help others.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brookline
Finding the right therapist in Brookline starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider the type of support that fits your situation — whether that's talk therapy for anxiety or depression, couples therapy, or medication management from a psychiatrist. Brookline is home to providers trained in a wide range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy, and more. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Therapy in the Boston metro area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider in Brookline who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
Brookline offers convenient access to both in-person and virtual therapy. Many providers on Headway see patients virtually, which can be a good option if your schedule is tight or you prefer meeting from home. Whether you're near Coolidge Corner, Chestnut Hill, or commuting from Cambridge or Boston, you can browse providers who match your preferences, review their profiles, and book directly.
