Terisa Berger
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical social worker (LCSW) in California and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW - Clinical) in Michigan. I received my master's in social work from the California State University, San Bernardino and have been practicing for 9 years. My focus has been on helping individuals that struggle with feeling like they are not enough, grief, anxiety, and depression reframe and reclaim their lives.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session together, the expectation would be we start where you are. Get to know what brought you in, but also briefly discuss you past to learn what has affected your life. This will allow us to work on goals you work like to set and work towards in therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
One thing I can promise is you will always have a non-judgmental space to feel safe and heard. This will allow for an environment where you can be open so we can identify root causes and create a plan together that allows your personal growth.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with a wide range of clients who are ready to reconnect with a sense of joy and fulfillment in their lives. Many of the people I support have spent so much time caring for others that they have lost touch with their own needs. Through therapy, they begin to recognize that their own happiness, healing, and emotional well-being are possible—and worth prioritizing.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is utilized to challenge and reframe thoughts to manage depression and anxiety symptoms and move forward with life's challenges.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a technique from CBT that I have adapted into my practice to allow a non confrontational way to involve the client in making positive changes.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution Focused is a great tool to help prioritize and set goals to be achieved. This treatment method helps focus on the present and future.

I love how she keeps it real with me. She is very quick witted and can keep up with my ADHD style of conversation coverage. She is the best fit I've ever found for a therapist.
