Beth Berta (she/her) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist (R-DMT), currently practicing under the supervision of Stacey Hurst, LCPC, BC-DMT, GL-CMA. She works with adults of all ages navigating trauma, grief, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and the ongoing journey of being human.
Beth is licensed in Illinois, Colorado, and Ohio.
Her approach is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s inner wisdom. Beth brings a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and body-neutral lens to her work. She values movement, imagination, and relationship as powerful tools for healing and self-discovery. Sessions often integrate mindful observation, playfulness, body-based awareness, and collaborative exploration in support of building agency and self-trust.
Beth honors the pace of the process. Her style is collaborative and responsive, rooted in the belief that progress does not have a prescribed path but comes from being in real, attuned relationship. Whether exploring body-based patterns or holding space for simple reflection, Beth aims to co-create a space where people can reconnect with themselves and what matters most.
