Trauma Therapy & EMDR Intensives in MA & MD
For First-Gen, BIPOC, women, femmes who are ready to get out of the therapy chair and into the present moment.
Ready to Move Beyond the Surface?
You are self-aware, deeply resilient, and ready to feel entirely comfortable in your own skin. You want to live a life where you feel genuinely grounded, free from the weight of your past, and confident showing up as your authentic self in every single room you walk into. You are ready to thrive, not just survive.
But let’s be honest: you are completely fed up with weekly talk therapy.
You’ve read the self-help books, you can perfectly intellectualize your feelings, and you can trace every anxious thought back to its source, but simply knowing the problem hasn’t brought you the actual relief and presence you’ve been looking for.
Instead, that unresolved stress shows up in your everyday life. It’s why navigating relationships and dating feels incredibly hard, leaving you stuck in cycles of overthinking. It’s why you constantly avoid conflict even when you know you desperately need to set boundaries and protect your peace. It’s the reason speaking up at work or with family feels challenging, making you second-guess your expertise, or your role. You might even find yourself just going through the motions, feeling like your body is moving, but your mind is completely elsewhere, leaving you detached from the present moment.
You’re left cycling through unpredictable panic cycles and high-functioning anxiety, changing who you are depending on who walks into the room, and quietly wondering if something is fundamentally wrong with you. You’re tired of weekly therapy sessions that just scratch the surface. You want to be your true, authentic self, but you’ve been stuck in a fight-or-flight survival mode for so long you don’t even know what that version of you looks like anymore.
Ready for a Deeper Shift?
Many highly self-aware people know exactly why they struggle, but talk therapy isn't changing how they feel. Our EMDR intensives provide a year's worth of healing in just a few days, getting you out of the therapy chair and back to living a calmer, lighter life.

About Lorrie Bertrand, LICSW
I’m Lorrie Bertrand, LICSW, LCSW-C. I am an EMDR-certified therapist, and I see you…
I get it, because I’ve been there. I used to be able to map out my anxiety on a perfect timeline, but it never made me feel better. I learned the hard way that just because you understand your pain, it doesn't mean it goes away. True anxiety relief requires dropping beneath the surface.
That’s why I have helped hundreds of people who feel just like you safely through EMDR Therapy & EMDR Intensive Therapy to resolve the deep-seated stuff, even the childhood or generational trauma that didn’t just start with you.
What You Can Expect
Space to unlearn old patterns and move through emotional blocks
A nonjudgmental space where you’re invited to soften, be seen, and heal at your own pace
A healing relationship that centers your truth, not just your symptoms
A person-centered approach where all your guarded, tender, and even your humorous parts are welcome (because healing can be serious work without being heavy all the time).
If you’re willing to put in the work, therapy can help you get there!
Schedule your free consultation to see if it’s the right fit for you.
