    I have collaborated with Dr. Paula Bu several times on cases, and have referred therapy clients to her for their psychiatric needs, especially to address complex trauma, and neurodivergence and ADHD. As a practitioner, she honors and acknowledges the complex intersecting identities people hold (across the lenses of culture, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability) to provide affirming and responsive care. Dr. Bu is insightful, a wealth of knowledge, and has navigated complex cases with care, compassion and a deep willingness to collaborate to serve the best interest of her clients.

She is an empathetic and understanding person who really knows how to connect with her clients. These qualities reflect in her ability to help her clients through the most difficult times in their lives. Overall, choosing Nicole as a therapist is a good choice and she will help you through any difficult time of your life.

    Dr. Emily Berstein is hands down a phenomenal psychiatrist!!

    She is knowledgeable, kind, interactive, and deeply committed to giving the best psychiatric care possible.

    She always worked to find the solution to give me the tools needed for utmost mental health.

    She listened, problem solved, and would suggest medications that could greatly help too, if needed.

    Her help was worth every bit of the fee. It’s an investment you won’t regret making!!
