Thank you for visiting Inside Family Counseling! My name is Mihaela Bernard but most clients call me Misha. If you need professional counseling for you and your family, you have come to the right place! My mission is to empower, support and guide children and adolescents, and parents of children and adolescents with special needs, facing emotional and behavioral difficulties at home or at school, for improved quality of life and a happy family.
I specialize in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for children and adolescents with special needs and I apply psychoanalytic theory to modern day problems and issues. What this means is that in my practice, I will use the trusting relationship I build with you and/or your child to help you modify the way in which you relate to others and to improve the quality of your relationships.
I am committed to providing a safe space for a long-lasting change, deeper understanding of oneself and an improved quality of life. I am experienced in working with children, adolescents and adults, who struggle with a wide range of behavioral and emotional issues, from divorce and adoption to self-injurious behaviors, eating and mood disorders.

Services
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and a certified child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapist, specializing in working with children and adolescents, and parents of children and adolescents with special needs.
Ever since I was a little girl, I had a passion for helping people.
I dreamt of one day becoming a psychologist in private practice and advocating for the young members of our society and for the child, still living in the heart of every parent.
I promised myself never to forget what it feels like to a be a child so that one day I can help parents and their young ones communicate, respect and love one another.

I provide professional counseling services for the entire family.
