Michael Berens

Michael Berens

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Greensboro, NC


I call my counseling practice "Wit's End" because that's often the point at which we turn to help. It pauses the conversation for a moment. It is the moment we "hiccup" and turn to curiosity. That's why I'm here. With cleverness, kindness, and hope, we will sit together and navigate what brought you here and how you can move through.

I specifically like to work with couples, adults, parents, every type of relationship, those in chronic pain, and those who are departing some sort of community.
