Connor Berk, LMFT
Specializes In:
Connor Berk helps individuals, couples, and families navigate challenges with care, understanding, and evidence-based strategies. Serving patients across California, he creates a safe space where people can explore difficult emotions, improve relationships, and develop practical skills for lasting change. Whether someone is managing anxiety, working through grief, or navigating major life transitions, Connor tailors each session to support personal growth and resilience.
While Connor is skilled in treating a wide range of concerns, he is especially passionate about supporting people who are coping with trauma, relationship challenges, and mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. He has extensive experience guiding individuals through the complexities of post-traumatic stress, helping couples rebuild trust and connection, and empowering those who feel stuck in cycles of worry or self-doubt. His compassionate and goal-oriented approach allows clients to feel both supported and encouraged as they take steps toward healing.
Connor also has a strong commitment to working with specialized populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, military veterans, and first responders. He understands the unique stressors these groups face and uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Family Therapy to provide meaningful support. In addition, he offers psychological testing to help clarify diagnoses and guide treatment planning, ensuring clients receive care that is both accurate and effective.
Outside of his work at LifeStance Health, Connor enjoys staying active through sports, spending time at the beach, and exploring the outdoors. These personal passions help him bring energy and balance into his practice, enriching the care he provides.
Connor is proud to serve children ages six and up, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors throughout California. His blend of clinical expertise, compassion, and collaborative care makes him a trusted partner in mental health treatment.
