Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Melissa Berschauer

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In all honesty, finding a therapist you actually click with can be tough. That’s why I keep things warm, fun (yes we laugh), and completely judgment free. As your therapist, my goal is for you to have a place to just be yourself while we work through whatever is causing you stress or discomfort. I bring a mix of genuine empathy and practical, real-world tools to the table, meaning we won’t just talk about what’s going on, we’ll actively collaborate to get you unstuck. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety/depression, relationship stress (any type of relationship), a major life shift, burnout, perfectionism, confidence issues, trauma, infertility/postpartum struggles, or just want to understand yourself a bit better, I’m here to help you navigate it all.
