Lawrence Berger, LMHC

Psychotherapist
VA
Hi, my name is Larry, and I have been a licensed mental health clinician for 13 years. I take a person-centered approach, meaning I work with all of your strengths. I collaborate with you to find the best solutions for change. We work on goals to not only address the presenting problem but also to help you find what makes you happy in life. I am laid back but can also hold you firmly accountable with the plans of change. I work and specialize in many areas of mental health. These include mood disorders, anxiety disorders, OCD, substance use disorders/addiction, process addictions (gambling, internet, and sex disorders), and many more. I use multiple techniques in therapy, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and many more. I approach my clients as unique and conceptualize the case as we set treatment goals together. I hold a Master's in Addiction Counseling from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School of Addiction Studies, which enhances my ability to support clients struggling with addiction and related challenges.

Getting to know Lawrence Berger

Hi, my name is Larry, and I have been a licensed mental health clinician for 13 years. I take a person-centered approach, meaning I work with all of your strengths. I collaborate with you to find the best solutions for change. We work on goals to not only address the presenting problem but also to help you find what makes you happy in life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our sessions will focus on the challenges you are looking for help with. I take a collaborative approach in helping guide and solve them. My philosophy is that all of my clients have it in them to change but sometimes need a guide to work through them. We go at your pace, however I can and will hold clients accountable to their needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
