0Dr. Berson is a very petty doctor. If you have to cancel, make sure you do it in 24 hours. He sent me to a collection because I didn't give him a 24 hour notice. I gave him 21 hours’ notice, but he is so trivial that he had to send me to a collection agency. He was also not a very friendly doctor. I didn't find him helpful because he repeated himself quite frequently. The services were for my daughter and she didn't feel comfortable with him at all.
Dr. Berson is a talented creative and dedicated doctor. He is honest in all matters and committed to providing high quality treatment. He is an expert in how emotions follow from thoughts, and how behavior (negative and positve) results. He has helped me and others I know resolve difficult expensive bad habits and negative thinking. This has brought peaceful happiness to at least one very depressed person. He is quite reasonable in cost, and has provided me freedom from dependence on many things, including the medical care system itself. I strongly recommend him and hope that any person requiring psychiatric care meet him, and follow through with his recommendations.
Emphasis on healing inner wounds, rather than suppressing pain with medications.
- General Info
- Dr. Deane S. Berson, M.D. has over forty-seven years of private practice in Colorado Springs working with all ages, individuals, couples, and families. He does not follow the trend among most psychiatrists to largely prescribe medicine(s) and do little if any therapy with the patient (though they sometimes recommend the patient receive therapy elsewhere). Dr. Berson views medicine as usually a last resort and therapy as usually the first resort. If Dr. Berson is to help a person learn how to replace pills with skills, he must first get to know that person. This is accomplished by having fifty minute meetings with them, usually once a week. When necessary he will prescribe medicine but only in the context of therapy. Like good detectives, the patient and Dr. Berson team up to learn how to track the patients difficulties to their cause. For example, consider the student who believes she is a failure if she gets any grade lower than an A. If she gets a B, she may well (generate chemicals in such a way as to) feel depressed. Through therapy she can learn that her worth and future are not determined by that one B. She can learn that probably for years she has unintentionally caused herself needless depression and anxiety by believing the excessive scoldings coming from within whenever she fell short of her all-or-nothing standards. In his experience, once people learn to identify and shed their self-defeating ways of thinking and acting, the great majority are no longer depressed, anxious, fearful, etc. Any presumed chemical imbalance (if it existed at all) is gone because people are no longer thinking and acting in ways that (generate the chemicals that) cause them to feel depressed and anxious.
