Katie Bergman

Hi, I’m Katie. I’m a therapist for people who are tired of pretending they’re fine.

You know the type—you’re responsible, capable, and probably the person everyone else calls when their life is falling apart. From the outside, you seem to have things pretty well handled. Meanwhile, your brain has 47 tabs open, you’re questioning half your life choices, and you’re wondering when exactly you became this exhausted.

That’s where I come in.

My style of therapy is warm, conversational, direct, and very human. I’m not the therapist who is going to stare silently at you from across the room and respond to everything with, “And how does that make you feel?” Sometimes we’ll absolutely talk about how it makes you feel. Sometimes I’ll challenge you. Sometimes we’ll connect dots you didn’t realize were connected. And sometimes we’re going to laugh—because therapy can be meaningful without feeling miserable for 50 minutes straight.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationships, major life transitions, and those strange seasons where everything looks okay on paper but something still feels…off. I especially enjoy working with people who have spent a lot of their lives being strong, taking care of everyone else, pushing through, and becoming exceptionally good at functioning while overwhelmed.

Our work isn’t about turning you into a completely different person. It’s about understanding why you do what you do, figuring out what actually belongs to you versus what you’ve picked up along the way, and helping you build a life that feels more like yours.

And no, I’m probably not going to tell you to take a bubble bath and practice self-care when what you actually need is boundaries, an honest conversation, and permission to stop carrying things that were never yours to begin with.

You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on before you reach out. “I know something needs to change, but I have no idea where to start” is actually a perfectly good place to start.

Come as you are. We’ll figure out the rest together.
