I like for the client to lead the way in treatment, while I act as a facilitator and guide to assess and assist individuals in learning to make their lives more manageable.

Hi, my name is Blake Bernlohr and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Licensed Addictions Counselor. I provide Comprehensive Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, focusing on mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. My style is collaborative, empowering, and practical. My therapy sessions are structured, evidenced-based, and objective. This is not talk therapy, this is real therapy, providing real results. We approach every session with purpose and intention, which allows me and my clients to track progress in his or her treatment.

My goal as a therapist is to help individuals and families achieve greater levels of wellness. None of us can control all of the situations we face in life. However, it is possible to develop a sense of wellness that goes beyond daily circumstances and allows you to feel joy, even in difficult times. I help clients to build the tools and insight needed to identify and overcome current roadblocks while better utilizing strengths. I use specifically designed experiences in sessions to help make therapy useful, motivating, and memorable. I also help families through a specific skills training to build healthy conflict skills. Conflict is often unavoidable, but it can be done in a healthy way. Contact me to see if the services and experience I provide are a good fit with what you are hoping to achieve.

As a psychologist committed to strength-based approaches, I help clients recognize and utilize their existing knowledge and skills to create better lives. My work with clients both supports and challenges them, affirming who they are, what they believe, and how they think they can change. I take an approach that focuses much more on possibility than pathology, and as such, I help clients find creative ways to approach problems and develop personal stories that fulfill them. I consider it an honor to do the work I do, and I strive to not only respect, but enhance, clients' dignity. Creating professional relationships with clients founded in respect, caring, and a desire for positive outcomes, I utilize a wide range of techniques and theories to help clients reach their goals. I work with clients' natural ways of growing, and help them understand and improve how they think, feel, and act. When clients work with me, they find the strength within themselves to develop into who they want to be. I believe expertise on issues is co-created with clients, and in therapy, I strive for people to experience a wide range of feelings and thoughts, from sadness and longing to laughter and joy, so that they can lead their most fulfilling lives in the world.

Over my decade as a therapist, I have worked with various clients, focusing on grief and loss stemming from life changes and transitions. I believe that our life experiences shape who we are, and to feel whole, we need to examine different parts of ourselves. I help you explore these aspects by assisting you in crafting and narrating your own life story. While I have a strong passion for working with teens and young adults, I am confident in my ability to support individuals at all stages of life. I also acknowledge the impact of trauma on these narratives and believe in the importance of healing from trauma. My goal is to help you navigate your own path. Therapy can be one of the most powerful, terrifying, and enlightening experiences. I see my role as a therapist as one of empathy and guidance, helping you find your own empowerment. I strive to be an engaged and curious therapist, asking thoughtful questions to create a safe environment for you. I often use humor to help us face the difficulties we encounter together. This is your journey, and I am here as a guide, utilizing connection, knowledge, and humor to support you along the way. I would love to set up a consultation call or a first appointment to answer any questions or help you begin your therapeutic journey.

I believe in a client centered, strengths based approach to therapy. I have been formally trained in EMDR as well as several other therapeutic modalities.

Welcome, I'm Karen. Armed as a licensed clinical social worker, it is my honor to offer safety, support and understanding as you bravely step into the exploration of a richer, more fulfilling life. I practice primarily Internal Family Systems to address life challenges with trauma, anxiety, depression and grief. My primary focus is to provide a safe place where individuals are free to share openly about their struggles. My office is a judgement free zone where all emotions and thoughts are welcome.

I partner with my clients to develop greater ease in day-to-day interactions and relationships with partners, family members, friends and co-workers. I work with individual adults looking to reduce anxiety, strengthen their connections with themselves and others, increase effective communication, and create more fulfilling relationships.

Are you feeling sad and unfulfilled? Experiencing stress or anxiety? Do you feel unsatisfied in your relationships or career? By providing an environment of safety and support, and offering valuable skills for you to use in everyday life, I can help you find relief. Helping people overcome life's challenges is my passion. In our sessions, you will be free to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. I will support you as we work to discover your inner strengths and address the underlying issues that create pain and dissatisfaction in your life. The decision to feel better and make meaningful changes takes courage and I have a deep respect for those who choose therapy. In our work together, you will discover your inner strengths and learn important skills that alleviate distress and allow you to experience more happiness, peace, and satisfaction.

If you are seeking a warm, relational, empathetic counselor, you are in the right place. My therapist style is informal, yet professional, firm, yet always gentle, and direct, but always kind. More than anything, I want you to find hope and healing. And more than anything, I believe in this journey. It is a difficult journey, to be sure, but it is worth it!

As a therapist, I value your insight as much as my own. When I first started therapy for myself years ago, I was fortunate to have a therapist who asked me what I thought would help. This stuck with me through the years. I now use this approach with my own clients. I view you as the expert on your life, with my role being to work in collaboration with you to find realistic goals and solutions based on your unique circumstances.

This isn’t where you thought you’d be. Whether you’re struggling in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed, or coming to the realization that the effects of trauma are keeping you from living fully - this isn’t how you thought your life would be unfolding. Start living a life you love without sacrificing who you are! When you feel like you have lost your voice and your sense of self in your relationships, I work with you to help you rediscover who you are and what boundaries you want to set in your relationships. Many couples say that as challenges and the pressures of life take their toll, it can feel like they’re always fighting each other, instead of the problems they face. In therapy, we can help you and your partner get on the same page and rebuild the intimacy and romance in your relationship so that you can handle anything that comes your way. Therapy can help you find a sense of unity and shared purpose. Parenting is arguably the toughest job out there - and raising a child who struggles with behavioral challenges can make it more difficult. Every day can feel like you’re pushed to your limits. I am here to support you. I walk alongside you, show you exactly what to do to help your child, and create a more peaceful way to live. I provide child therapy through a process that involves working with the parents and the child to find a less stressful way to live. For Individuals looking to heal from trauma we offer EMDR intensives that help you process your experience over the course of days instead of weeks. I believe that when you feel safe, supported, and heard - you’re going to feel comfortable sharing the experiences, history, and situations that brought you to our door. Connection with your therapist leads to an openness that allows us to get clear on why your relationships follow a pattern or behavior that doesn’t give you what you need. In creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts without fear of judgment, we can open the door to real change.
