About

Are you in a relationship where you have an unresolved issue that you can seem to find the right time or place to discuss it with your partner? Schedule it! I have been a practicing therapist for over 29 years and am also a collaborative coach. I work with couples on issues that require a neutral person to assist with healthier communication methods, conflict resolution, and a more directive approach to problem solving. I am trained in mediation as well as collaborative divorce coaching.

Whether you are in it to win it, or on the fence about separation or divorce options, I’m here to assist with coaching and consultation. I listen to both sides and assist and guide with healthier ways to communicate and problem solve. Contact me to see if I am the right fit for you!

Dr. Bercier is a Certified Compassion Fatigue Specialist, certified through the Traumatology Institute, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of IL, and a Collaborative Divorce Coach.

Dr. Bercier’s experience began working in community mental health centers in Chicago. Since then, her experience expanded to psychiatric in-patient treatment at Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s Stone Institute of Psychiatry in Chicago, IL and Montevista Psychiatric Hospital in Las Vegas, NV. Her experience also includes out-patient psychotherapy and group therapy at Alternatives Community Mental Health Center in Anchorage, Alaska. From 2006 to 2010 she served as the Three Rivers District Chair on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Social Workers-IL (NASW-IL).  From 2010 to 2019, Dr. Bercier worked as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) therapist and affiliate for Perspectives, Ltd. working with various individual, family, and couples’ issues. In 2012, she opened a group private practice in Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn called Couch Clarity where she employs many therapists to assist with the community's mental health needs. As of January of 2018, Dr. Bercier was asked to join the Small Business Council for the United States Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. Through this position, Dr. Bercier advocates for entrepreneurs and small business owners as she meets in Washington, D.C. and other areas in the U.S. throughout the year to inform and be informed on policies that directly affect small business.
