Our Team

Max Berdik

I believe that therapy is like renovating the living room of your mind. Let’s find your favorite carpet, sturdier furniture, softer cushions, and warmer lighting, learning to rearrange and repair as we go.

As a therapist, my intent is to meet you where you are, as you are, and work from there toward your goals. I provide a safe space grounded in non-judgment, empathy, and patience, working with you to build awareness of the parts of you in need while learning to trust your innate capacities for healing. My goal is always to help you tap into your own resilience and creativity as you move toward where you want to be in life. I will also challenge you in the areas that may hinder your growth, while maintaining an atmosphere of compassion and unconditional positive regard.

I take a client-centered approach to each session, drawing mainly from evidence-based approaches like DBT, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic therapy. I believe in the importance of skills-based work to help you manage emotions, strengthen relationships, and feel grounded. I also bring awareness to the present-moment and explore how our past serves as a blueprint for your here-and-now experience. I always seek to adjust my approach to your goals and to keep communication open and clear about the therapeutic process, your progress, and our work together.

I welcome clients and couples of all genders, orientations, backgrounds, and identities to embark on a journey in therapy that can be so essential for healing, living authentically, and feeling fulfilled in life. Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to helping you realize the life you want for yourself.
