About Me
Hello and welcome.
My name is Brian Berger. I am a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience as a practicing therapist. I firmly believe all people have the power and the ability to heal themselves. I believe my clients know themselves best and thus within possess the tools needed to make dynamic life changes. My role as a counselor is to assist in this process by providing compassion, patience, non-judgment, and when needed, the appropriate push, direction, and insight that will guide you towards improving self-awareness and achieving your personal goals. I view therapy as a collaborative and sacred process that is built on the foundations of openness, trust, and safety.
I received my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from Rutgers University in 2004 and my Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Counseling from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2007. I have worked in residential, out-patient, corrections, and acute-psychiatric settings with adults, children, adolescents, and families, dealing with issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem/self-worth, trauma, grief and loss, addictions, intensive mental health, dual-diagnosis, and relationship issues/couples/family therapy. Some additional specialized populations I have served are juvenile offenders, developmental disabilities, human trafficking, LGBTQ, and HIV/chronic health issues.
For the past five years I have worked as the Clinical Director at two correctional treatment facilities, working with both male and female juvenile offenders ages 13-22.
I praise you for the courage and strength you are demonstrating by seeking help and I would be honored to assist you on this journey.

Reviews
Brian is great! I wasn't sure if I would like this mode of counseling, but I really like the convenience of it. He has been spot on with his feedback and insight!
I am new to you but so far I am very happy with our sessions. With you having me journal daily and try and get me to participate in our sessions. I believe our relationship will be a good one built on trust and respect.
Mr.Berger is an amazing therapist and a great person. I feel like I’ve grown so much thanks to our sessions. He is sincerely caring about his patients and I feel fully safe and supported with him. He listens carefully to what I’m saying and not saying and from there, he picks the things that really troubles me and we work on it together. I can never say enough about how wonderful my experience with him is but if you need a therapist...a great one, Mr.Berger is the one to go to...
I love Brian he has helped me so much I'm so happy that I have him as my counselor he understands me and knows exactly how to deliver the help and support I need.
Highly recommended.
