Melissa Bercier, PhD, LCSW

Coach, Child Specialist

I am a Collaborative Divorce Coach and a licensed therapist with over 30 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through separation, divorce, and post-divorce transitions. I am the founder and owner of Couch Clarity, a group mental health practice serving Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn for over 14 years, with a team of 15 therapists.

My work is rooted in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate relationship transitions—whether that means deciding to divorce, working toward reconciliation, or creating a healthy co-parenting relationship—in a respectful, thoughtful, and emotionally grounded way. I value a balance of mental and physical wellness and approach each client with fairness, compassion, and a commitment to reducing conflict and unnecessary stress throughout the process.

I am also on the CDI Board as the Community Outreach/Member Relations Director for 2026.
