Dr. Jared Bernard, Psychologist

About me

My name is Jared Bernard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University. I completed accredited pre-doctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship training to further specialize in the provision of therapy to my clients. I have also published research in academic journals that informs my clinical work, and I regularly give clinical presentations and trainings to others, including colleagues and students.

I specialize in providing evidence-based individual therapy services to people with a wide variety of mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, stress, bipolar disorder, as well as those with a history of trauma.. I am trained in a wide array of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Processing Therapy (IPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I regularly engage in practicing, as well as teaching these therapeutic approaches to those in training. The most enjoyable part of my job is when I see my clients achieving more fulfilling lives for themselves.

The crux of my therapy approach involves creating a collaborative, supportive, and strong therapeutic relationship with the people I work, because this allows us to make the most progress on important goals. I believe in applying evidence-based therapies (therapies that help people get better more quickly) in a flexible, person-centered fashion, which involves collaboratively deciding on the approach that will be most effective for my client. I work with clients to clarify the goals they want to achieve, work towards achieving these goals, and help them remove the barriers that get in their way. I believe that despite dealing with mental health challenges, my clients can work towards their most important values to achieve a meaningful life, and I welcome the opportunity to partner with you to improve your life.
