Bernice Joseph is a Master’s-level clinician in Clinical Mental Health Counseling dedicated to supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life’s unexpected challenges. Seeing clients both via telehealth and in-person at the Beverly/Morgan Park office, Bernice works with a wide range of populations—including adolescents, adults, couples, families, college students, professionals, and seniors. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, life transitions, stress management, aging concerns, and grief and loss. To meet each client where they are, Bernice utilizes a person-centered and culturally responsive lens, integrating evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Clients can expect a collaborative, nonjudgmental space focused on building insight and practical coping strategies. Guided by her personal motto—“Deep healing, honest conversations, and a little laughter along the way”—she believes therapy is a place for important work, but also for moments of lightness and appropriate humor. When she’s not walking alongside her clients, you can usually find Bernice connecting with loved ones, dancing to house music, riding her motorcycle, and staying grounded through faith-based activities.
