About Me: Gahl Berkooz

I am an empathic and analytically minded clinician currently completing my Master of Social Work at Widener University and in advanced psychoanalytic training at the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute. I welcome individuals to explore and understand their emotional experiences, whether related to anxiety, depression, trauma, paranoid ideation, or compulsive behaviors, in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. All aspects of the self are welcome in the consulting room which is a compassionate space for clients to navigate complex emotional patterns. By following a strengths-based approach clients connect to their core strengths and motivations that can be hidden at times. I bring a unique background to my clinical work, with experience in the business world, and academia enhancing my ability to integrate evidence-based psychodynamic practice with deeply human-centered care.

My Unique Approach to Therapy

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and scientific understanding. I am available to collaboratively work with children, adolescents, and adults toward relief, emotional acceptance, and renewed joy in life.

Specialized & Extended Training

I am enrolled in the psychoanalyst training program at the Michigan Psychoanalytical Institute as an academic candidate. This is an intensive four year psychodynamic training program, of which I have completed three years.
