How We See You

There is a reason you learned to move through the world as you do. The parts of yourself you struggle with—the ones that withdraw, worry, please, protect, or stay on guard—did not arise without cause. They may be making your life harder now, but they were often your best way of navigating what once felt overwhelming, uncertain, or unsafe.

We will not reduce you to a diagnosis or approach you as something to be fixed. Together, we will listen for what your patterns are trying to communicate, understand what they have helped you survive, and create new ways of meeting life that feel more spacious, resourceful, and true to who you are now. In a world that can be harsh and disconnected, we believe healing happens through a relationship in which you are met with depth, curiosity, and genuine care.

Learn about Dr. Berasi's Approach

A Practice Guided by Vision

Rather than building a one-size-fits-all group practice, Dr. Kateri Berasi has been highly intentional in selecting clinicians who bring their own voice, training, and sensibility while sharing a capacity for emotional depth, curiosity, and genuine human connection.

Each therapist is thoughtfully chosen and supported within this larger clinical vision, creating a practice where individuality is valued without losing a shared commitment to meaningful, transformative care.

Testimonials

  • J.W.

    Ai was a wonderful therapist. What I appreciated most about her was her calming presence—she brings a very grounded, slow energy to her sessions and often pauses to make space for each thing said. Becaues I'm someone who clams up easily, this made it easy to talk about things that were on my mind. I also enjoyed doing Ai's short illustration exercises, because they offered a way into unpacking complicated emotions. Overall, I feel that our sessions allowed me to better understand the patterns I bring to my relationships and to identify where I can change in order to break those patterns.

  • E.D.

    Avni treats her clients with compassion, respect, and as the experts in their own lives, while guiding them toward greater self-understanding. She does a great job incorporating artmaking into sessions in a natural, low-pressure way that focuses on process over product and self-discovery. Overall, her presence is very warm, inviting, and playful when the moment calls for it! She's easy to talk to and good at creating a comfortable environment, even when discussing difficult topics.

  • H.V.

    Working with Logan Meeker has been truly life-changing. When I first came to him, I was struggling with depression, anxiety, and the emotional toll of a breakup. Logan created a safe and compassionate space where I felt heard and understood. His insightful approach helped me manage my anxiety, work through my depression, and rebuild my self-confidence. Logan helped me to gain insight into, and ultimately change, patterns that have been ruling my life for years. I feel more in control of my emotions and much more confident in myself. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and helps you heal.

  • S.G.

    Avni truly transformed my life - she is observant and creates a calming safe space. Would highly recommend for anyone dealing with anxiety/trauma or just looking for more clarity. She’s helped me navigate some difficult scenarios and I feel like I have come out stronger and better equipped to deal with tough situation after my sessions with her. Cannot recommend enough!!!!!

  • R.G.

    My partner & I loved working with Dr. Berasi. She truly created a space of safety & comfort for us, while still providing critique & structure where needed. She guided us through difficult emotional work with grace, tact, & invaluable insight. I have seen many therapists, and consider it one of the most important skills to be able to meet your clients exactly where they need you in terms of conversation, support, and even humor - Dr. Berasi is outstanding at this. Only stopped seeing her because we moved across the country, and we will miss working with her greatly.
