Bernadette (“Bernie”) Latuch, J.D., Psy.D. is a licensed psychologist serving as the Training Coordinator. After practicing law for several years, Bernie earned an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Dayton, followed by her Psy.D. from the Wright State School of Professional Psychology. She completed her doctoral internship at the University of Pittsburgh’s Counseling Center. Bernie has trained extensively in Gestalt Therapy and is a graduate of the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland’s Gestalt Training Program, Group Training Program, and Working with Physical Process Program, as well as the Center for Somatic Studies’ Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Program. Bernie’s clinical interests include working with trauma (both acute and complex), shame, personality adaptations, identity development, family of origin concerns, spirituality, and dreams. Her therapeutic style is primarily relational, embodied, and Gestalt, but she also incorporates elements of DBT, feminist, multicultural, attachment, and Jungian approaches. As a former first-generation college student with blue collar roots, Bernie is honored to work with students whose identities leave them feeling caught between worlds or living at the margins.
