Jody Berke

Jody can be very sympathetic, which can be nice, but I don’t think she helped me figure out my situation at all. I felt better after I stopped seeing her, and was able to get a lot further on my own — ultimately coming up with a plan of action that has been a lifesaver for me and my family. I’m not sure what happened. Maybe she was out of her league or her personal business was getting in the way of doing her job. Being in therapy can be very intense, and there were times when I felt like she was uncomfortable and didn’t want me to keep saying what I was saying.
Billing was a nightmare. She openly said, many times, that she hates paperwork and billing stuff and that she would only be doing it every 2 – 3 months. If you rely on submissions to get reimbursed, and she makes a mistake, you’re screwed because of how long it will take to get it fixed.

you will be happy — give her a call.

I also found Jody though my insurance directory. I have been pleasantly surprised with how helpful Jody is in regards to my complicated issues. She is honest, thoughtful, and professional. Not only she is a good listener, she gives me constant feedback as well. I often go in to her office feeling down and discouraged with my issues, but I would come out feeling much better after I talk to Jody. What I like about her the most is that she offers me objective suggestions and I find them very useful. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs therapy.

I recently went in search of a therapist covered under my Blue Cross California Care insurance. I stumbled upon Jody and decided to give her a try because she is walking distance from my house and she has a second office close to my work on Park St. in Alameda. For regular therapy sessions, convenience is key.
Jody is straight forward and just what I was looking for. Give her a try if you are looking for someone to talk to — professionally that is.
