Evan Berger

You may understand what’s happening in your life and still find yourself reacting in ways you don’t fully understand or control. Anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, or major life changes can leave you feeling stuck in familiar patterns.

I work with individuals, couples, and youth using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. A central part of my work is helping people develop greater flexibility in how they respond—to difficult thoughts and emotions, to what is happening in the body and nervous system, and to the people they care about.

Nervous system regulation is an important part of this work. Rather than simply trying to think your way through difficult experiences, we can learn to recognize patterns of activation, shutdown, and protection as they happen, creating more room for choice and meaningful action.

My approach is grounded, practical, and collaborative. Therapy isn't about becoming someone who never feels anxious, angry, sad, or uncertain. It’s about becoming less limited by those experiences and building a life and relationships that are more consistent with what matters to you.
