Keegie Berger

Keegie Berger is a Resident in Counseling with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a concentration in Play Therapy from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

​

Keegie has experience working with children and teens, supporting them through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs. She has extensive experience working with children and families navigating separation and divorce and understands the unique challenges these transitions bring.

​

Keegie’s approach to counseling is grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which is based on the belief that children have an innate capacity for growth and healing when provided with a safe, accepting environment. In practice, this means she follows the child’s lead in play while offering empathy and reflection to help them process feelings, build self-esteem, and develop healthier coping strategies.  Depending on each child’s needs, Keegie also integrates expressive arts, mindfulness, and other creative techniques to support self-expression and emotional regulation. She is also trained in Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), a parent-training model that strengthens the bond between caregivers and their children through structured play.

​

Keegie hopes to create a space where children feel understood and empowered, and where parents feel supported in their relationship with their child.
