Rate Symone Berry

I am a licensed therapist in California with nine years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families. While I’m newer to therapy, my background in school counseling and crisis intervention has equipped me to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and life transitions. I believe you are the expert of your story and have the strengths to overcome challenges. Seeking change takes courage, and I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

As a Black woman, I am passionate about making therapy accessible for people of color (POC), creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and comfortable being themselves. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, using solution-focused and motivational interviewing techniques to meet each client where they are.

For children, I incorporate play therapy to help them express emotions and develop essential life skills. With adolescents and young adults, I focus on stress management, confidence-building, emotional resilience, and navigating relationships. I also work closely with parents and caregivers, offering practical strategies to support their child’s emotional well-being.

Whether helping a child gain confidence, guiding a young adult through life’s challenges, or supporting families through transitions, my goal is to foster resilience and empowerment. If you’re looking for a warm, down-to-earth therapist to help you or your child navigate life’s ups and downs, I’d love to connect. Let’s work together toward growth, healing, and self-empowerment.
