The best of the best. She helped our family when we needed it most. Forever grateful!
As someone who works closely with parents and young children, I have always been impressed by Dr. Braunstein's ability to connect with others. She is smart, resourceful and is willing to go the extra mile when needed. She is truly a caring professional.
Valerie Braunstein is such an incredibly intelligent, warm, and professional psychologist. As a educator of students with dyslexia, I frequently rely on Valerie's expertise and insights on working with children. She approaches her job with a deep desire to help. Her interview on CBS news post-Paris attacks displayed Dr. Braunstein's care. With confidence, I recommend Dr. Braunstein for any child or adult seeking treatment.
Dr. Braunstein is a very caring, well-trained, conscientious psychologist who is well-versed in a variety of empirically validated treatment approaches. She is able to work successfully with a large range of clients (including children) utilizing a largely cognitive-behavioral approach. Rather than being satisfied with her grad school training, she impresses me as someone who is always seeking to understand and incorporate new perspectives and techniques into her clinical repertoire --always an excellent sign. I have referred to her with confidence and will continue to do so.
Dr. Braunstein is one of the most skilled psychologists I have worked with throughout the course of my career. As a school counselor, I often refer my students to outside professionals. Dr. Braunstein has been easy to work with, understanding and receptive. Highly recommend!
Dr. Braunstein is a caring and helpful psychologist that I would recommend to friends and family!
