Welcome to Tranquil Mountain Counseling

I'm Bjorn Gothberg

“Welcome—I'm so glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 14 years of experience in the mental health field and have been practicing as a therapist since 2021. I'm also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which I incorporate into sessions when it aligns with your healing journey.
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can show up just as you are. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, life changes, job stress, adjustments, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to meet you with empathy, understanding, and genuine support. Therapy with me is a collaborative process—we’ll work together to create meaningful, obtainable goals that reflect what matters most to you. I believe growth happens when you feel safe, heard, and empowered to take steps forward at your own pace.
I work with adults (18+) and couples, helping clients reconnect with themselves and each other in ways that foster deeper healing and lasting change. Wherever you are in your journey, you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to walk with you.”

Bjorn Gothberg

Welcome to Tranquil Mountain Counseling. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping individual adults and couples navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and connection. Working in community mental health most of my life in a group home setting, I decided I wanted to further my education and scope to help others.
I graduated from Azusa Pacific University in 2021 with a master’s degree in clinical psychology. With years of experience and specialized training in EMDR, I support clients in healing from trauma, reducing anxiety, and finding deeper peace within themselves and their relationships. I am also a trained martial artist and currently hold a black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu under the Shaolin Temple Cultural Center, studying under various masters that come from the Shaolin Temple. I also offer QI Gong as a wellness service. While this isn’t considered psychotherapy, it is one of my skills that I can bring to your treatment.
I specialize in working with those facing individual issues, relationship and marriage issues, premarital concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're struggling with communication, trust, infidelity, or simply feeling stuck, my approach is centered around building safety, understanding, and lasting change.
In addition to relationship work, I provide support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, codependency, grief, men’s issues, behavioral challenges, school and peer-related struggles, and video game addiction. I also integrate faith and spirituality when it aligns with your journey.
Whatever brings you here—stress, self-esteem challenges, family conflict, or major life transitions—you're not alone. I’m here to walk alongside you with empathy, effective tools, and a calming space for growth and transformation.
