John Berndt, LMFT

John Berndt, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
I am a native Southern Californian, born and raised in the Los Angeles area. I decided to become a therapist while working as a missionary in South Africa when I was nineteen and realized I loved helping others. Working concurrently in local government as I went to school at Pacific Oaks College, I started my training at the Los Angeles LGBT Center and finished my internship at the Southern California Counseling Center. Once licensed and then retiring from government work, I started a private practice in Los Angeles and became the Clinical Director of the Southern California Counseling Center. Now focusing on my private practice, I truly enjoy helping couples move from argumentative and problematic communication patterns toward more considerate, constructive, and collaborative conversations. I’ve completed Level 3 Practicum Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, which I use along with elements of Esther Perel’s work while employing an overall attachment theory lens to help couples uncover their underlying emotions and change their communication and relational dynamics. I also enjoy helping individuals live more true to who they are and who they want to be in the world.
