John Berst
Help me to understand your story. Help me to help you find the balance, joy and serenity we all crave. Join me on a journey that begins with your strength and courage in taking the first steps of thoughtful exploration into revealing your best self. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with over ten years experience in the state of Michigan, while my experience helping people goes back more than 30 years. I earned a Master's degree from Western Michigan University in 2010 as a way of bringing my years of diverse experience and training to the level of professional ethics and practices that is such an important part of state licensure. My training and education are ongoing and constant. This nurtures my enthusiasm and dedication to the art of counseling and my ability to be the best counselor I can be for my clients. My approach is person centered first, as I need to determine a plan based on you and your own unique story. Whether your concerns are fleeting or more pervasive and troubling, I can help you explore what will actually work for you. I prefer to stay grounded in practical, solution focused exploration and therapy. This can allow therapy to resonate while remaining grounded in the clients own experience and needs. I've worked with people of all ages from all walks of life and each experience has taught me to be a better counselor while finding what was universal to the human experience, and I continue to learn, adapt and grow, as a therapist, from the individual and specific experience that is that one person's story. Much of what it means to be human is universal to us all, yet each and every one of us is an original. I look forward to working with you.

I have worked with clients on a range of concerns including self-fulfillment, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting problems. My therapy style is both patient and action oriented, both accepting and explorative. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I believe it is important to normalize behavior and provide alternative perspectives. I tactfully infuse humor when possible and therapeutically effective. My approach combines the patience and empathy of client centered therapy when you need a sounding board with the results oriented approach of cognitive-behavioral or solution-focused therapy when you are seeking a change in your life. We will work together to establish expectations and a treatment plan to meet your individual therapeutic needs. If you stand too far away from a large painting, you cannot appreciate the individual brushstrokes that brought it to life. Yet if you stand too close, you cannot appreciate the image in its entirety. It can be very difficult to recognize the limits of our own perspective. Having someone on your side to focus or broaden that perspective as needed can be tremendously helpful. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to listen and learn with you.
