Kathryn Berry
Licensed Professional Counselor
I strongly believe that everyone is deserving of help, and that each person that reaches out for therapy is on a path towards recovery. I adopt a humanist approach to therapy, recognizing that every patient is doing the best that they can with the skills they do and do not have. My mission is for therapy to be a space for collaboration and growth. I also maintain that each person is an expert on his/her/themselves.

My therapeutic approach is generally one that centers around the implementation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) or Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) on an individual basis. During the first session, I conduct a detailed assessment to determine what treatment modality to use and in what way. I generally work with DBT patients once per week, with half of each session being entirely devoted to DBT skills training, which is taught like a class. The other half is spent processing and problem solving. I also meet with ERP patients weekly, usually with the entire session devoted to the collaborative use of ERP practices. Regardless of what type of treatment a client receives, even if it is not DBT or ERP, I always approach therapy with a trauma-informed lens and from a strengths-based perspective.
