I believe that when people find and embrace their own strengths and trust in themselves; they can make positive changes in their lives. It's important to me that I provide a warm and trusting place for my clients to explore, grow, and thrive in. I draw from my experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness modalities to tailor therapy to meet each of my clients needs and preferences.
I graduated summa cum laude with a Master's of Science in mental health counseling in 2015. I have experience in hospital settings conducting behavioral health assessments and providing crisis intervention/stabilization, treatment, and discharge planning. In individual therapy, I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma/loss, domestic violence, neglect/abuse, substance abuse, body image and self-esteem, suicidal ideation/non-suicidal self-injury, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, and chronic medical conditions.

Kirsten is a very attentive listener and provides many alternatives to dealing with personal issues and concerns. She is easy to talk to and gives a sense of openness and empathy. I really like her "let's try natural" first approach and it is refreshing in our modern world of pharmaceutical conglomerate control of medicines.

Kirsten is an absolute jewel. Thoughtful and smart. Insightful. Will call-out if need be. So supportive. I couldn't ask for more. 10/10

I've only had one live session with her, but we are always messaging because I have young kids and it's hard for me to break away at times. But in just one live session she helped me understand in depth so much of what happens scientifically, but in easy to understand ways, what my body is doing with the type of stress I'm under. Her voice is also very calming. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

I have only had a few sessions and I'm already feeling like it's helped me tremendously. I can't get better by myself.

Discussing and talking with Kirsten is easy and helps in reflecting on my issues. Although I’ve only had two sessions with her, I would absolutely recommend her to another person.

Starting therapy with K. Berlin has been one of the best things I’ve done for myself. She’s been so helpful. I’ve had 3 other therapist in the past and feel most comfortable working with her. Not only was I at one of the lowest places mentally that I’ve ever been but allot of things have happened during my time seeing her and she’s been absolutely needed to get over those hurdles. I look forward to my appointments and feel like I’m able to have an outlet as well as receive guidance on how to get through and handle things. Overall she’s helping me learn how to regulate my emotions and handle big problems and big feelings. I’m a better person for it.

I have been seeing Kirsten Berlin for about 4-5 months now. She is an amazing therapist and works very intensely with any issues I may throw at her. I’m up and down with anxiety, depression and panic and Kirsten always offers tools to help in any situation I may be. She has assigned reflection “homework” to remind me of ways to overcome fears or to accept situations and view them from new perspectives. I am a work in progress and Kirsten is extremely supportive.

Kirsten has been a blessing right from the start of working with her. I met with her after having experienced a series of personal traumas, and she put me at ease while I was in a very vulnerable state. She has been patient and attentive, and has provided a lot of wisdom that has helped me begin to heal in meaningful ways that I know will have a lasting impact on my life.

Kirsten is very easy to talk to, I feel very comfortable talking to her and I usually have a very hard time talking to others. She listens, she's funny, and gives me great advice to help with my anxiety. I look forward to every session because I feel safe and heard and understood. She's great !

I have only done one session so far. We got to know each other a little bit, and so far I think this might work great. I hope I can update this review as we go.

Kirsten is the most caring mental health provider that I have ever had the privilege of working with. I am thankful for her wide range of expertise and allowing me to express emotions and frustrations of living in a neurodivergent brain as well as having compounded traumatic experiences. I am functioning better in my daily life, which is my main concern, just after a few sessions! Kirsten is such an amazing professional who validates her patient's concerns endlessly. She has such a big heart and deeply understands the human experience & how to help us better approach that constant life long experience, which is what many of us need a lot of the time. She deeply listens with care and concern, and curates my needs and next steps based off of who I am at my core and what I like, even! I highly recommend Kirsten, she is an amazing healer and professional! Thank you for reading(:

I accidentally answered the first question of the survey as completely disagree when I meant to answer completely agree. Kirsten has been nothing but professional and extremely helpful. Couldn’t recommend her more!
