Jeremiah Bergen, MS, LCPC
I’m Jeremiah Bergen, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the founder of Bergen Counseling Collective in Chicago. I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples, I specialize in helping clients navigate a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, work-related stress, anger, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, trauma, men’s issues, and substance use.
My approach is rooted in empathy and tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I emphasize gaining personal insight into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while integrating strength-based and goal-oriented models. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Theory, I aim to help clients foster meaning, achieve sustainable change, and find healing in their lives.
As your therapist, I will support and validate you, helping to bring clarity to your thoughts, emotions, and interactions. Together, we’ll work toward alleviating distress, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, and uncovering a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment in your work, relationships, and personal life.
For couples, I focus on enhancing emotional connection, building intimacy, improving communication, and reducing conflict to help you rebuild trust and warmth in your relationship. For families, I use a systems-based approach to address unhealthy dynamics, explore roles within the family, and restore balance and harmony.
I view each person as greater than the sum of their challenges, and I aim to help clients integrate positive change into all areas of life for lasting personal growth and well-being. Whether you’re struggling with severe symptoms or simply feeling “off” and overwhelmed, therapy can provide the insight, support, and transformation you need to thrive.
