Waitlist for in person session. Working through difficult times makes us, and our relationships, stronger. Making the decision to begin therapy isn't always easy, but sometimes it's just what you need to get your life back on track. Despite the stereotype of a therapist being someone who will, "tell you what to do," my role is to listen and help you toward hearing your own answers. It can offer you insight and perspective so you can achieve what you are striving for in your life. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living a happier life.

I really focus on maintaining the Person Centered approach theme throughout the therapist-client relationship.
My name is David Berk, LCSW My approach to therapy is relationship and strength based, while maintaining the person centered theme throughout the interaction with the person. While there are many approaches to therapy process, I attempt to utilize approaches that appropriately apply to the particular case/person/couple situation. As, one approach or problem solving method does not apply to everyone.

Are you feeling stuck in your relationship or thought patterns? Do you wish you knew your partner or yourself better than you do now? Do you want to get real answers to these questions? I can help. I have been told by previous clients that they have learned more about their partner and themselves than they have after decades of marriage and therapy. I love helping people get to the bottom-line of what they experience and I excel at it.

I'm a licensed psychologist and a marriage therapist. I have a specialty practice in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I hold a diplomate from the American Board of Medical Psychotherapists and I'm registered with the National Register of Health Service Psychologists.
All this fades into the background when I am with my patients. What matters is understanding and connecting with the person in front of me. I treat adults and adolescents who are mature enough to participate in talk therapy. My work is primarily with individuals and marital couples, but I also work with whole family systems when it is appropriate.

Life is beautiful and at times difficult, but we don’t have to do it alone. Sometimes we just need someone to walk with us, to hear us and see us. I’m a relational therapist practicing from an eclectic view with empathy and a nonjudgmental lens. Helping individuals, couples and families communicate, find awareness of issues and grow toward change is an honor. We can connect through evening telehealth appointments.

I am an energetic, contentedly divorced woman in my early 60's who knows how hard it can be to feel comfortable telling a total stranger about personal concerns. I value your trust in my professional intention to help you feel better about yourself and your life, to move beyond "just getting through each day". So much of our inability to enjoy ourselves, to find fulfillment in our daily lives, is due to fear, shame, and/or challenges in "letting go" when faced with loss (whether it be a relationship, job, or a loved one's death). I believe every client who seeks therapy is courageous and has many, often undiscovered, strengths.

With a background working with all ages and dynamics through issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, childhood issues, relational issues, divorce, remarriage, blended families, faith-based issues, addictions/escaping behaviors, and codependence, I work from a psychodynamic, intersubjective lens believing healing happens in the context of relationship.
No matter what you are facing, you are worthy and there is hope. You are here because you believe change is possible, or may even know change is necessary, for your life to be more whole and authentic. But change can seem daunting, even scary. Whether you're experiencing emotions like anxiety or depression, relational chaos, or traumatic circumstances that seem to overwhelm your thoughts and life, therapy is a safe space to process these issues. I approach our time together with compassion and care, with the goal of seeing life through your eyes, so that the change is solely yours. You are not alone and all things are possible.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
