Meet Casey
Child & Adolescent Therapist
Casey Berkowitz, LMSW, is a master’s level clinician with experience working with children, teens, and parents. Casey originally hails from New York. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Brown University and her Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she worked at the UNC Child and Adolescent Outpatient Unit. She has experience working in several mental health settings including schools, partial hospitalization programs, in-home therapy programs, crisis work, community settings, and outpatient therapy clinics.
Casey approaches her clients with respect and compassion, working to create a strong, trusting therapeutic alliance to help clients feel safe and excited about their therapeutic journey. At NCFWC, Casey provides individual therapy to children, teens, and parents with a focus on anxiety, depression, OCD, behavior disorders, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and trauma. She also co-leads the Friendship Group for ages 8-11 that aims to provide evidence-based social skills for children with social difficulties.
In therapy, Casey empowers her clients through a multidisciplinary approach. She supports her clients through developing healthy coping mechanisms, developing a strong sense of self, and working to feel safe in one’s body and environment. Casey’s evidence-based approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma focused-cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and strengths-based approaches. She is also trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-based treatment for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems; and PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy), aimed at improving the quality of parent-child relationships for children with emotional and behavioral struggles.
Casey welcomes clients of all identities and backgrounds. Casey is proficient in Spanish and is currently under licensure supervision with Emily Hardcastle, LCSW.
