Inspiring Healing Through Science, Story, and Spirit

Kimberley Berlin, LCSW delivers powerful talks and trainings that blend neuroscience, trauma recovery, and spiritual integration—helping audiences awaken to their own healing potential.

Your Audience Deserves More Than Just Information

With over 20 years of experience in clinical practice, spiritual mentorship, and public speaking, Kimberley bridges the gap between science and soul. Her warm, grounded presence and deep expertise make her a sought-after voice for audiences seeking growth, healing, and meaningful change.

She speaks not just to audiences—but with them—creating moments of resonance, insight, and transformation.

Holistic. Spiritual. Evidence-based. Transformative

Topics That Educate, Empower, and Awaken

  • The Neuroscience of Recovery

    Science that heals, not stigmatizes.

    Addiction is not a moral failing—it’s a complex interplay of brain, body, and environment. With decades of clinical research and applied practice, I help treatment programs understand how neuroplasticity, stress systems, and trauma circuitry shape addictive behaviors. By translating cutting-edge neuroscience into practical strategies, I equip organizations to design programming that fosters healing, resilience, and long-term recovery.

  • IFS in Practice: Healing the Inner Family

    Every part has a purpose.

    Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a compassionate framework for treating addiction by recognizing the protective parts that drive self-destructive behaviors. As a Level-3 IFS practitioner, I train clinicians and teams to integrate this evidence-based model into clinical settings. The result: reduced shame, greater Self-leadership, and treatment outcomes that empower clients to embrace their wholeness.

  • Spirituality in Mental Health

    Beyond treatment, toward transcendence.

    Spirituality is a critical—yet often overlooked—dimension of healing. I guide organizations in weaving spiritual practices into treatment approaches, respecting all traditions while nurturing clients’ direct connection to their Higher Self. When clients move from self-hatred to self-love, they not only recover—they thrive. I show facilities how to honor spirituality as both a clinical tool and a source of profound transformation.

  • Embodied Healing

    Healing lives in the body.

    Trauma and addiction live in the body. Sustainable recovery requires more than talk therapy—it calls for embodied practices that restore balance to the nervous system. From breathwork and mindfulness to somatic integration and yoga, I provide consulting on how to bring somatic healing modalities into treatment environments. This holistic approach reduces relapse risk and helps clients truly inhabit their lives again.

  • Rise in Recovery

    Wholeness is already within.

    My signature approach—Rise in Recovery—bridges neuroscience, IFS, and spirituality into a cohesive, innovative model for addiction treatment. This paradigm shifts away from disease-based stigma and toward wholeness, dignity, and possibility. I help organizations re-envision their programming, staff training, and client care through this lens, creating environments where individuals are no longer pathologized, but recognized as inherently whole, waiting to be embraced.

Talks, Presentations, Thoughts…

If you are wondering what style I have in presentations and trainings, here are some videos that are either taped from live events, or garnered as part of “think pieces.”

I have consistently received very high ratings from every webinar, conference workshop, keynote speech, or educational training that I have given over the past 20 years. My background in theater, professional dance, and senior executive leadership in government all comes to bear when I am in front of an audience.

Available for:

  • I bring the latest insights on the neuroscience of addiction, trauma, and spirituality to professional gatherings worldwide. Whether delivering a keynote, breakout session, or workshop, I translate complex research into engaging, accessible presentations that inspire audiences to rethink recovery. My goal is to shift outdated paradigms, reduce stigma, and offer a hopeful vision of healing that blends evidence-based science with spiritual wisdom.

  • As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Level-3 Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, and Certified Addiction Specialist, I design trainings that equip clinicians with tools they can apply immediately. From understanding the brain’s role in addictive processes to implementing IFS and somatic strategies, I offer continuing education experiences that elevate both clinical skills and ethical practice. Attendees leave with renewed confidence, compassion, and practical interventions to better serve their clients.

  • Spirituality is a powerful pathway for recovery and transformation. I facilitate retreats and trainings that integrate neuroscience, somatic practices, and ancient wisdom traditions, guiding participants into deeper connection with their authentic Self. Whether in an immersive retreat setting or a focused training, I create sacred space where individuals can release shame, embrace their wholeness, and awaken to spiritual healing as a foundation for long-term recovery.

  • I love bringing the conversation about neurospiritual healing to broader audiences through podcasts, webinars, and panel discussions. I speak with clarity, warmth, and authority on topics ranging from the neuroscience of spirituality to practical approaches for addiction recovery. My aim is always to make complex ideas accessible, while offering fresh perspectives that challenge stigma and inspire change—both for professionals and the general public.

  • I am deeply committed to supporting non-profit organizations and community-based initiatives. I partner with treatment centers, recovery groups, and community mental health programs to deliver talks and trainings tailored to diverse audiences. My work emphasizes dignity, inclusion, and empowerment—helping communities move beyond the disease model toward a strengths-based vision of recovery that honors the whole person.
