When words are not enough

Experience Change

We Help Children, Teens & Adults Grow Past Trauma & Change

Have you noticed how hard it can be to talk about difficult things? That you are tired of talking about the same thing over and over, but not feeling any better? Have you realized what you need to do to change, but never were able to make that a reality?

​

Let’s face it, working on difficult issues or dealing with traumatic experiences is HARD! It can be exhausting. It can feel less like growth and more like being stuck, spinning your wheels endlessly.

What makes Berger Counseling Services unique?

It can be a struggle to work on difficult issues, relationships and traumatic experiences.  People often dread going into a stuffy office to talk.  Therapy can often feel like work. At Berger Counseling Services, we have specialized training in utilizing experiential and trauma-focused services to help you create healthy, meaningful growth. Change can be tough, but it doesn't have to be.  When we move the therapy from talking to doing, we change and grow. No experience with horses, art or play needed.
