Dr. Kate Berger

My approach to therapy often focuses on what gets in the way of (1) maintaining authentic social relationships and (2) managing complex feelings. Many people seem to struggle with being fully known by others, which often starts with more fully knowing yourself. I use a socioculturally and emotionally attuned frame to help people gain insight into how their past has impacted their current struggles. Specifically, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, OCD, relationship concerns, grief/loss, family of origin/attachment issues, life transitions, and cultural identity development.

I use a treatment approach that integrates psychodynamic, metacognitive/ACT, interpersonal process, and existential therapies using a multicultural lens. I also have advanced training in group psychotherapy, ERP and I-CBT for OCD, DBT for crisis stabilization, and narrative reprocessing therapy for trauma.

I provide in-person therapy in Baltimore, MD and virtual therapy in MD and in 43+ PSYPACT states, including D.C. I invite you to contact me to see if we would be a good fit and wish you well.
