Zoe Bertz, LPC-IT, is a Licensed Professional Counselor-In Training and Certified Brainspotting Therapist who works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She offers a grounded, collaborative approach to therapy and helps clients make sense of difficult experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves with greater clarity, balance, and self-trust.
Zoe is developing a specialty in counseling women athletes, with particular interest in soccer and the emotional demands of competitive environments. She is especially interested in supporting concerns such as anxiety, confidence struggles, injury recovery, identity, burnout, and the pressure of balancing performance with wellbeing. Her work is grounded in clinical counseling, with a growing focus on the intersection of mental health, resilience, and performance.
Her approach is strengths-based, relational, and integrative. Drawing from Person-Centered, Relational Cultural, Narrative, Cognitive Behavioral, Internal Family Systems, somatic, and Brainspotting-informed approaches, Zoe works collaboratively with clients to better understand their experiences, process difficult emotions, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change. She believes people are more than the challenges they are carrying, and that therapy can be a space for both healing and growth.
Zoe earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with a minor in Art, from Edgewood College and a Master of Science in Counseling, with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health, from Mount Mary University. Outside of therapy, Zoe enjoys paddle boarding, hiking, spending time with friends and family, and connecting with nature.
