John Berst, LPC

John Berst invites people to share their story and works collaboratively to help them find balance, joy, and a greater sense of serenity. He frames the therapeutic journey as one that begins with each person’s own strength and courage, guiding thoughtful exploration toward revealing a more authentic self.

He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), licensed in Michigan, and brings over ten years of professional experience to his practice while his experience supporting others extends beyond three decades. He earned a Master’s degree from Western Michigan University in 2010 to bring his practical experience in line with the professional ethics and standards required for state licensure. His training and education remain ongoing and are a consistent part of his work life.

His approach is person-centered as a starting point, focusing first on understanding an individual’s unique story and needs. Whether concerns are brief or more pervasive, he emphasizes practical, solution-focused exploration so that therapy stays rooted in the client’s real experience.

Having worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, he has learned from each encounter and continues to evolve as a counselor. He remains committed to adapting and growing with every new story he encounters and looks forward to the possibility of working together.
