Erin Berk, LPC, ATR

Erin Berk, LPC, ATR I am an licensed counselor located in Portland, OR . I specialize working with adults. I have 21 years of experienced working with children, teens and families.

My name is Erin Berk and I have worked in Portland, Oregon since 2001 as a child and family art therapist. I am a Registered Art therapist and a Licensed professional counselor. I thoroughly enjoy working with youth and adults— I feel honored to be a part of you or your teen's journeys of self discovery and a return to balance. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated, open to growing and willing to explore their minds, hearts, feelings, and thoughts in collaborative approach. In this collaboration we work to resolve the conflict, habit patterns, emotional blockages and other painful situations that the client brings to treatment. I enjoy working with youth ages 8 year old and up and their families, as well as adults. How I can help
Blending conventional Talk therapy and alternative, creative art therapy approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I bring humor, warmth and deep listening and creativity to my work. Everyone is unique, therefore therapy is designed to fit –your needs–Please call me for a free 20 minutes phone consultation to see if we would work well together! I know that it takes courage to seek help and support, just know that by reaching out–you are one step closer to feeling better–and that Is my goal for you——Life can be hard sometimes, we all struggle, there are times when we feel better and times when life is harder– and therapy can be essential to wellness—it is a investment in yourself or your child! My approach focuses on each person’s strengths and I work with each client to help them build on the places need attention and clarity so you are better able to identify and achieve life goals for greater self actualization and clarity. Children, teens, adults all struggle from time to time and therapy can be short or long term depending on each persons needs and goals. I offer a safe and nurturing space that holds your life’s concerns in a warm and compassionate way. My areas of specialization for adults include:

f you do not believe that hearts can bloom suddenly bigger, and that love can open like a flower out of even the hardest places, then I am afraid that for you the road will be long and brown and barren, and you will have trouble finding the light.
But if you do believe, then you already know all about magic.

According to Eckhart Tolle in *Stillness Speaks*, when you lose contact with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. Consequently, you lose yourself in the world, as your innermost sense of Being is inseparable from that quiet, inner state.
Losing Yourself in the World: When inner stillness is lost, the mind becomes crowded with noise,, which causes you to get lost in the external world of mental forms.
The “I Am”: This inner stillness is described as the “I Am”—a deeper sense of self that exists beyond name and form.
The Result: Losing this connection often leads to increased stress, fear, and a loss of connection to the present moment.

If you have OCD, you know the feeling of being stuck in a thought loop. You’re going about your day when suddenly it strikes you, a thought you can’t escape.

Do you enjoy my posts about parenting? This post made the cut for my latest book. It’s a concept I’ve never seen before and I’m excited to be the first content creator to do this. I’ve taken my posts and created a book. The book is visually appealing and easy to read, just like when we scroll online or read a book to our child. You can read one post or a whole section. I know I’m bias but it is a must have for all parents who enjoy this page. It is also a way to pass on the knowledge you have gained from this account, to someone else.
