Pavla Berry, LCSW-R

At Peak Mountain Counseling LCSW, PLLC, I focus on providing clinical support to clients who would like to achieve higher potential in their life, career, sports and overall life balance. Sometimes people feel stuck in old patterns of behavior and weighed down by previous negative experiences. I utilize several psychotherapeutic modalities that are based on individual needs and goals; allowing clients to move forward in a more positive and fulfilling way. I incorporate nutrition and active life style, if needed, to provide the best results for clients. I believe in holistic integration of mind and body to provide the healing strategies to overcome depression, anxiety, past trauma, mood lability, addiction and difficult life transitions. I also assist athletes with providing them with mental tools to perform at their highest level or coming back from their sport-related injuries. If needed, I can assist athletes through the process of retiring from their sport and transitioning to the next chapter of their lives. As a clinical social worker, I work with clients as part of the larger system of their family, community and culture. I utilize DBT, CBT, Trauma competency and treatment, integrative medicine for mental health approach and solution focused approaches. I have over 13 years of clinical experience with a variety of mental health problems and treatments. My background is also in athletics. I was a high level ski racer who competed on the international level and also represented my college team at US collegiate national competitions. I hold a license in clinical social work (LCSW-R) in New York State.
