Hello, my name is Dr. Kate Bergam. I am a licensed marriage family therapist. I have been enjoyed working with clients for more than 20 years. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology at UCLA and earned my masters and doctorate degree in marriage family therapy at California Graduate Institute of Professional Psychology in 2001. Currently I'm working part time at College Hospital (Partial Hospitalization Program) in Signal Hill, CA. I work with clients who have been diagnosed with Bipolar, Severe anxiety, Major Depression, PTSD, Schizoaffective D/O and ADHD.
I use an integrative approach. I blend together several different treatment approaches based on the client's needs. For example, I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I teach clients how to change their negative thought patterns which in turn helps them to influence how they feel and react.
I also like to focus on clients coping skills such as mindfulness, guided meditation, prayer, journaling, write positive affirmations on note cards, drawing/art, pet your cat/dog, plant a flower in a pot, etc. Finally I use a humanistic therapeutic approach sometimes to support and validate the clients too.

My communication style is down-to-earth, supportive, with room for humor when it helps, and I can also be firm and direct when it's needed. I create a safe, calm, and open space that feels encouraging, collaborative, and comfortable. I enjoy teaching coping strategies, so clients leave sessions with tools they can put into practice right away.

I combine evidence-based practices with a warm, relatable style that emphasizes curiosity, self-understanding, and humor when it's needed. I enjoy working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and see therapy as a space where they can bring their authentic selves- serious, playful, spiritual, or anything in between.
