Getting to know Jerry Berndt

Hi there, I'm Jerry! I have 15 years of experience in mental health and eight as a therapist. I am an LCSW specializing in EMDR Brainpotting and Somatic Experiencing therapies. I hold various certifications in experiential therapy. My approach I utilized somatic processing, EMDR/Brainspotting, to help you slow down the thoughts that spin in your head and reconnect with who you are. This releases stress and tension, lowering this weight allows natural coping skills to kick in, versus teaching unnatural coping skills. My focus As a former emergency medical technician, I specialize in working with high-stress careers, as well as trauma. There is no worry that your trauma will phase me. In addition to childhood stressors, depression, and anxiety. I have experience in dual diagnosis substance abuse. My in-person clinic can also manage mood disorders and ADHD with neurofeedback. My communication style Casual but goal-directed. It is important to feel comfortable and trust your therapist. Although we want to work on your goals and why you are there. Sometimes that tangent is beneficial, but we will not allow avoidance or ruminating thoughts to take over. My journey to mental healthcare I joined wildland firefighting and emergency medical services to escape the foster care system. From there, I noticed a major need in mental health services, leaving our ambulance as the last resort for many patients. I started case managing 911 callers and at a group home, transitioning foster youth ages 16 to 21 into adulthood. Since have worked with acute psychiatric, mobile crisis teams, and as a trauma therapist. My goals for you We utilize what you want your life to look like, or how things would go better. We want to reevaluate these goals within three months or twelve sessions. Measurable or observable becomes the most important.
