Sterling Berkeley, LCSW (he/him)
Psychotherapist
Licensed in New York State / Accepting self-pay only (NY)
I offer telehealth psychotherapy specializing in the assessment and treatment of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, trauma-related conditions, and a broad range of behavioral health concerns. With more than 25 years of clinical experience in behavioral health and addiction treatment, I have worked extensively with individuals living with chronic and persistent psychiatric disorders, chronic medical conditions, HIV/AIDS, and the complex co-occurring challenges of substance use, codependency, intimate partner violence, and LGBTQ+ concerns.
I provide therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. My practice is grounded in compassion, cultural sensitivity, and evidence-based interventions that support lasting emotional health and personal growth.
My Approach to Therapy
Choosing to begin psychotherapy is an act of courage and an important investment in your well-being. I believe therapy should be a collaborative, engaging, and empowering experience where you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the process.
My therapeutic approach is dynamic, flexible, and client-centered, integrating evidence-based treatment modalities with proven theoretical frameworks to help clients gain insight, build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we will work toward achieving your goals while fostering healing, self-discovery, and an improved quality.
