My name is Bernhard Streisselberger, and I am a native of Neuhofen/Ybbs, Austria, and the founder of Thresh Mountains Coaching & Consulting, where I specialize in human formation and safeguarding for Catholics. I hold a Master of Psychotherapy Science from Sigmund Freud University Vienna, with clinical specialization in Gestalt therapy and trauma therapy (EMDR), as well as a Master of Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. From 2016 to 2020, I lived in a Cistercian monastery, where I was formed as a Catholic monk and served as a psychological assistant to an exorcist — an experience that profoundly deepened my conviction that emotional maturity and interior freedom are the foundation of all authentic ministry. My wife Anna and I share the mutual mission of “thresh mountains,” reflecting the meaning of our Austrian last name, Streisselberger. Isaiah 41:15 speaks of threshing the mountains: cutting through seemingly impossible obstacles to make a way for the glory of the Lord.
