Mallerie Berwick, LCSW

Mallerie Berwick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She trained in clinical social work and has worked in settings including private practice, substance abuse treatment, and schools. She helps people who are facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, addictions, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on building a strong working relationship and practical steps that fit daily life. She uses conversation and structured exercises so people can test new ways of coping between meetings. In sessions she blends evidence-based strategies with attention to interpersonal patterns. That means looking at thoughts and behaviors, while also noticing how attachment and relationship history shape current problems. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused methods alongside acceptance-oriented work. She has particular experience with obsessive thoughts, panic and anxiety, substance-related concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, body image concerns, and questions about life purpose and career. Her background includes work with adolescents and young adults as well as adults in diverse care settings. When someone wants to start, she aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. The early sessions typically focus on immediate coping, safety, and setting goals. Over time the work moves toward habits and relationship patterns that maintain change.
