About me

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.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kirsten Berlin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

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.

So intuitive and understanding. She’s the reason I’m still using this app.
