Getting to know Dr. Marcel Bertsch-Gout

Welcome! I’m a board-certified psychiatrist and a multi-platform Patient-Choice Award recipient. If you’re looking for a smaller practice that values close communication and collaborative care, I may be the right fit for you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions begin with a thorough diagnostic evaluation, followed by clear goal-setting, tailored treatment, and ongoing tracking of progress. In session, I encourage open and honest communication — if something’s working, we’ll build on it; if not, we’ll adjust together. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful, measurable change.

Great provider, he deeply cares about me as a person. He sets challenging but realistic goals to help me improve. He also listened to my concerns and questions about medication.
Dr. Bertsch is a great listener and expertly combines cognitive therapy with medication management. Instead of imposing his view and blandly scribbling down a list of medicines, he takes patient concerns into considerations and carefully goes through pros and cons. A very friendly and approachable figure to have on your side!
