LPCC, 6 years of experience
Hi! My name is Krystal Bertke a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I attended the University of Dayton. I have experience with youth, adults, and families for 6 years. Most of my career I’ve worked with at risk youth with trauma histories and their families. I am very person centered as I believe therapy is not a one size fits all. Therapy needs to be focused about the individual and what they are experiencing. I work with my clients as a team and you are truly the expert in you and I have the education and skills that together we can create a happier future for you.
In our first session we will discuss history and establish therapeutic goals. We will build rapport with one another and discuss future scheduling.
I have the ability to build strong connections/therapeutic relationships and help my clients achieve their goals. I am able to be supportive but also hold clients accountable to help ensure goals are being met and progress is occurring.
I love working with families, youth and adults struggling with anger, trauma, relationships, anxiety, and depression.
I believe therapy is an individualized process and should focus around the client and their experiences and needs.
As a therapist my job is to essentially work myself out of a job by helping my clients learn skills to use in their life moving forward.
