Gretchen Bjerke, M.S. LPCC, LIMHP

At the core of my practice is a deep belief in the healing power of human connection. Resilience isn’t just about simply pushing through—it’s about having a place to pause, process, and rebuild. First responders are often trained to stay composed in the midst of chaos, but that strength can come at the expense of their own emotional well-being.

I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Solution-Focused Therapy, all within a collaborative, supportive relationship. Together, we focus on what matters most: developing practical tools for emotional regulation and resilience while fostering a stronger connection to self.

Whether you’re facing trauma, burnout, or the daily stressors life, you don’t have to carry it alone.
