Paul Berkes is a dedicated counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate their mental health challenges within a Christian framework. With over 15 years of experience in mental health treatment centers and being a licensed professional counselor since 2012, he specializes in a wide array of counseling issues including mood disorders, trauma, and PTSD. Paul employs various therapeutic modalities such as Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to create an engaging and experiential counseling experience for preteens, teens, adults, and elders. As a pastor, he not only provides counseling but also offers spiritual guidance, serving individuals and families in his community through music ministry. His commitment to trauma-focused therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), underscores his ability to support those facing serious challenges like suicidal ideations and abuse. Paul’s dedication to helping others led him to establish A Hope and A Future (AHAF), a non-profit organization that equips individuals and families with the resources needed to thrive and overcome developmental challenges while grounded in a Christian context.
