[Not currently accepting new clients]. Psychotherapy is a unique approach to a conversation about living. It is a constructive and helpful way to identify your goals. Anyone interested in finding a better way to look at themselves is welcome to develop new techniques, which we may discover together. As a Mental Health Counselor, I prioritize identifying new strategies that can provide you with a sense of balance and control that can benefit your emotional well-being and overall health. Counseling is a chance to focus on yourself, listen to your inner needs, and think about how to live better. My hope is that my clients can find answers to questions they were perhaps never aware they needed to be asked.

[Not currently accepting new clients]. Every person has had difficult moments in their life. This is one of the things that bonds us as human beings. We all have things in common, such as feeling the same emotions, dealing with similar situations, or having similar ways of thinking. Though we share these commonalities, each person has their own experiences that are unique to them. This is the perspective I take when it comes to my therapy practice. Each client brings their own unique set of needs and experiences, which needs a unique and individualistic therapy approach, different from the next client.

Danielle Berg, LMHC

[Not currently accepting new clients].  Being human is hard. In addition to daily challenges, many of us weren’t shown how to feel and express our emotions, or how to communicate effectively with others. We may not have learned what healthy love looks and feels like, or how to care for and accept ourselves—because often, our caregivers hadn’t learned how to either. As a result, we often find ourselves experiencing painful emotions such as shame, anger, longing, worry, or hopelessness. Therapy is an opportunity to explore our experiences with curiosity and kindness, allowing us to gain insight into, make meaning of, and heal from the burdens we carry.

Sometimes this can lead us to feeling stuck, not knowing which steps to take to move forward in life. I create a safe and supportive environment where we can explore life’s challenges together. My goal is to help guide you through processing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and learn healthier ways of coping with life’s stressors.

[Not currently accepting new clients].Perhaps you're feeling stuck, worried or afraid. Maybe you've never felt heard or understood. Maybe you've reached a point in your life that something doesn't feel right or something has to change and you're just not sure what to do. If this is the case, then talking it through in a safe space is the next step.  I believe beginning therapy is a courageous step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible, no matter what challenges you may be facing.

“In therapy, you are not broken; you’re a masterpiece in progress, painting your own canvas of resilience and self-discovery.” As a therapist I aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviors. When life gives you lemons, it’s not always easy to make that lemonade society tells you to make. Together, we will work on finding all of the “ingredients” to make the sweet lemonade to enjoy! Life can be extremely hard at times. I believe it is important to acknowledge the feelings we feel and not be ashamed. It is okay to cry, be sad, angry, scared, etc. Together, we can determine the next steps so those feelings don’t need to stay long. Therapy will provide you with new perspectives and tools in your toolbox, so you can enjoy your lemonade even on the gloomy days.

[Not currently accepting new clients]. When roadblocks, difficult emotions or major transitions present themselves in life, we have an opportunity to grow. Therapy is a space to gain perspective, examine our lives, and engage in purposeful movement forward. My passion as a therapist is to see individuals tap into their own unique gifts and strengths as they create a life that brings them meaning. I believe that one of the most essential parts of the therapy process is a sense of safety to be oneself while working with someone who genuinely cares. This creates a backdrop from which you can explore thoughts and emotions and thrive in the uncertainty of change.

I see therapy as food for the soul. It is nourishment that one receives by having the opportunity to open themselves and hear their own thoughts, words out loud so they can be heard, validated, understood. Therapy does not have to be complicated. It is a building block to strengthen our core and feel confident in our abilities to face the challenges.

[Not currently accepting new clients]. As life moves forward with its many demands of time and energy, therapy is a place to slow down and reconnect with who you are and where you are right now. Together we can explore your experience both internally and externally, and process any hardships which may disrupt your sense of peace and ability to move towards the person and life you wish to embody. Words and emotions can carry deep meanings, so as a therapist, my priority is not only to listen, but to truly hear you. In that, I aim to support your path of discovering and becoming more aligned with what fulfills you most in your life.

[Not currently accepting new clients].“We are all in this together and there is no therapist and no person immune to the inherent tragedies of existence” (Irvin Yalom).  Each and every one of us has a story that we develop and carry throughout our lives.  Each and every one of us will experience hardships that can be part of living, i.e, life transitions, death of a loved one, loneliness, broken relationships, inequitable and/or abusive treatment, etc.,. And each of these experiences is interpreted by us and adds to the story of what our lives look like and how we believe it will unfold.

Saul Korn, LMSW

Making changes in your life can be a difficult and, sometimes frightening, task. You have already taken one of the hardest steps, which is acknowledging that you need help. Therapy can provide a safe and collaborative environment to gain an understanding of the thoughts and feelings that you experience.  Having the opportunity to explore your past and present can help form the foundation for future change and growth. My goal is to provide a comfortable and nonjudgmental space for you to explore who you are now, and who you are looking to be. No two people are alike, and I believe that therapy works differently for everyone. My aim is to provide a unique therapeutic experience that is individually oriented to the needs of each client.
