Getting to know Marcia Berger

Hello, I'm Marcia Naomi Berger, an experienced, well-trained individual and couples therapist with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I integrate process, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches tailored to each person's unique situation. I'm practical, friendly, accepting, and the author of two helpful books: *Marriage Minded: An A to Z Dating Guide for Lasting Love* and *Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love: 30 Minutes a Week to the Relationship You've Always Wanted.* My approach Cognitive-behavioral, Psychodynamic, Process, Couple and Family Systems, and Integrative. My focus I work with clients who have relationship issues with a marriage or romantic partner, family member, or work associate. I'm most comfortable treating married and committed couples, as well as individuals who want to marry but need self-awareness, education, and support to date constructively and create an emotionally and spiritually fulfilling marriage. My communication style I create a relaxed, friendly, accepting tone and environment. It usually feels enjoyable to work with me. Sometimes it's less comfortable, especially when I point out how clients' self-defeating behaviors hinder their goals. I explain that it takes willpower and practice to change a habit. My journey to therapy I was initially drawn to therapy through my work as a child welfare worker. I realized I could help children more by helping adults-and parents-improve their emotional and mental health. I transitioned to work in an alcoholism treatment center, where I received excellent training in family and couple therapy and various modalities, including gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and more. I loved learning. My mission is to help people create fulfilling marriages, whether married or wanting to be. My goals for you I ask clients what they want to achieve in therapy and then list their goals.
