Carlisle Bergquist

“Working with Carlisle has been genuinely valuable. He listens carefully and remembers the threads that matter, drawing connections across sessions that I would have missed on my own, and recommends highly relevant and impactful reading. He manages an effective balance between warm, honest, and direct conversations. He never rushes, never fills the silence for the sake of it, and presents useful questions with great timing. I've come out of our work with tools and perspectives, a clearer sense of myself. I'd recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a thoughtful, steady, and skilled therapist”

“For a first session my wife and i thought he listened well and provided insight to our challenges without judgement. Kind and supportive personality. Felt like he understood both of our points of view.”

“Has been very helpful for my wife and I. Carlisle was always very professional and helpful. This was our first experience with marriage counseling and it was very positive.”

“Carlisle is a very good communicator always offering up multiple tools to help me”

“Working with Carlisle has been invaluable during one of the most challenging periods of my life. As someone navigating complex family law matters and international custody issues, I needed a therapist who could help me process intense emotions while maintaining clarity and perspective.<br /> <br /> Carlisle provides a combination of compassionate listening and practical guidance. They help me identify patterns from my own childhood that affect my responses today, while keeping me focused on what I can control and the wellbeing of my children. This balance between insight and action has been crucial.<br /> <br /> What I appreciate most is Carlisle's ability to hold space for my fear and grief about limited contact with my children, while also helping me develop strategies for emotional regulation during ongoing legal stress. They've helped me distinguish between appropriate concern and catastrophizing, and to maintain ethical boundaries even when facing difficult situations.<br /> <br /> Carlisle has supported me in recognizing intergenerational trauma patterns without becoming lost in them, and in developing a clearer vision of healthy relationships and co-parenting. Their guidance has helped me stay grounded and intentional rather than reactive during an extremely destabilizing time.<br /> <br /> I would highly recommend Carlisle to anyone dealing with family law matters, co-parenting challenges, or working through the impact of childhood trauma while trying to be a better parent themselves. Their expertise in these intersecting areas has been essential to my healing and growth.”

“Carlisle has been a fantastic listener in the few sessions that we've had. There hasn't been much for him to say, because I've done most of the talking! I needed to manage it time better for sure. I'm hopeful that he can help me with all the issues over had growing up and as being an adult. There's so much healing and change I've got to do. I believe Carlisle will help me be the better person I can be!”
