Bertha Myers
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor, and I specialize in anxiety, anger, stress, depression, grief, conflict resolution, and addiction. These are the components that worsen every other area in life. I received my Masters in Mental Health in 2016, and my approach to counseling is to identify the thinking styles that are causing the most significant dysfunction. It is to identify the visible and hidden areas. I have written programs to assist individuals with personal issues, couples, and groups. I work with singles, couples, the elderly, and I have worked in the helping profession for over 25 years. We make the decisions that we make because of available options and past experiences, but with better decisions comes better health.

I am versed in the management of women's issues, specifically women of color. I served this population for more than two decades and written several books where the focus has been on women of color coming into their own. Notable is my book titled 'Even Superwoman Needs To Cry Sometimes'. I am direct in my approach, with the expectation that you come ready to grow and make change in your life. As such I am focused on where you (the client) want to go (your goals) and utilizing the strengths/assets you have at your disposal to promote healing and growth. I will support your growth even as I challenge your thinking. I am respectful of your cultural values and give credence to his in our clinical engagements. Spirituality, hence, (not necessarily religion) is often a component of treatment, however, this is at your discretion. Our time together is your time; this is your platform.
