Carolyn Bergen
Master of Arts (Marriage, Family, Child Counseling)
Carolyn O. Bergen has completed a Master of Arts degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Counselling in Fresno, California. She also has a degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Manitoba. Her experience
includes working with men and women as individuals, couples and families in a
counselling setting. She has 20 years of experience working as a
therapist, 10 years in her present setting. She practices her
individual and couple therapy as a subspecialty of Occupational
Therapy. When appropriate, she enjoys helping people use their spiritual practices and religious beliefs in support of their growth. She has a particular interest in the issues that a woman brings to counseling. Carolyn Bergen has been an instructor at the University of
Manitoba for the past 10 years, and currently instructs Professional
Master's students in areas of clincial interviewing, advanced communication, supervising topical seminars as well as supervising students in their independent study in the areas of anger management program development for adolescents. Her concern for a client's growth
toward wholeness encompasses the physical, psychological, emotional,
intellectual and spiritual realms of life. While clients bring difficult and serious issues to therapy which are dealt with very seriously, she also sees the merit in learning through celebration and humor. Carolyn has a blog, "A Thoughtful Look at Life", that muses about the intersection between daily life and a therapist's observations. Carolyn is the director of Bergen and Associates Counselling, working towards continuing excellence in all areas of the practice. |
