Services Offered
Life can bring us to places where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or deeply hurt—whether that’s due to a loss, a traumatic experience, or the emotional weight that life sometimes presents. Grief and trauma are personal experiences, and healing often requires a supportive, compassionate space where you can be understood and begin to process your pain at your own pace. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating the impacts of grief and trauma helping them find their way through complex emotions.
I believe that every person has the capacity for healing, even in the midst of profound pain. I work with individuals to help them understand their emotional responses and develop ways to cope that align with their own values and strengths. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can fully feel and process your grief and experiences without judgment.
I offer individual counseling via in person or telehealth in Portland, Oregon.

Dr. Berman spent decades of her professional career working with those facing trauma and grief. That, of course, did not exempt her from suffering personal tragedy. She was absolutely devasted by the sudden, unexpected death of her only child, baby Kai. She also faced sudden critical illness, having survived catastrophic septic shock in the ICU and its aftermath.
“I deeply the get — on the most human level, the landscape and terrain of the healing journey. And the many different shapes of loss, secondary loss and in/visible wounds that we all may carry. All our wounds, all our memories deserve respect. Held with compassion, not judgment. We heal layer by layer, within the experience of safely connecting with our most authentic self and in feeling a sense of safety in connecting with others. This kind of healing work is of the mind, body, and very profoundly, of the soul. Our world so needs this kind of medicine. And it’s through my work in service to individuals facing suffering of all kinds, that I honor my beloved Kai and all of us in healing.” — Dr. Amy Berman, PhD, HSP, PMH-C

Telehealth Individual Therapy
I provide mental health services for adults in Oregon. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT).
With over 25 years of experience as a social worker, I have worked with a wide range of populations — from foster care and adoption to inpatient teens, adults and families in schools, outpatient community mental health, and private practice.
A common thread across all of my experience is grief and loss. We are each shaped by different messages about how to deal — or not deal — with loss, and I offer a compassionate space to help you work through yours. I specialize in supporting adults navigating grief and loss through a culturally informed lens.
