EMDR Therapists in Burlington, VT

Offering ONLINE sessions. It’s hard to be a woman! We feel like all the pressure is on us. We keep trying so hard to do it perfectly, but life still isn’t going the way we planned. We have the pressure of career, fertility, parenting, romantic relationships, time for a social life. There's all of that and then we notice the past we’ve been running from creeping up on us. It can be exhausting, not to mention overwhelming. And is anyone talking about how hard getting pregnant can be? It's supposed to just happen easily, but month after month the pregnancy tests keep coming back negative. It feels like our bodies are failing us.

Welcome! I believe that it is possible for you to find emotional balance, wherever you are in your journey. Your needs and emotional well being will be the guiding force in our work together, whether you are negotiating challenging situational stressors, or wanting to understanding persistent sadness that seems to have no source. Maybe you are feeling stuck, grieving, dealing with addiction, or feeling disconnected. Together we can work toward putting you in the driver's seat of your own life.

Individuals/Groups/Couples. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Life happens, so it helps to have someone who will really listen, without judgement. When we lay down our burdens, we can feel lighter, heal places that were hurt, and find a way back to ourselves. Therapy can be about coming to deeply know and understand ourselves; with help learning skills for managing life, emotions and relationships, claiming self-worth and a sense of competence. I support people with holistic, research based psychotherapy. ACT, IFS, ARC, DBT, Somatics, CBT and Jungian components. Ask me about group therapy.

People come to therapy for many reasons, sometimes it’s an unexpected or painful transition, other times it might be conflict in important relationships. Often, people have tried to help themselves feel better, and are unsure of where to go next. Regardless of the reason you are seeking help, you are likely looking for relief from pain or suffering. I’m glad you’ve taken this important first step. My role is to offer you a warm and non-judgmental space to process life’s complexities and create meaningful change.

In our work together, I will create a non-judgmental, affirming, explorative and collaborative space. I practice from a relational approach, bringing my whole self to our therapy and am not simply a "blank slate". I believe in therapy as a space for change and will work with you to identify your goals and very intentionally move toward them together.

Please note : I do have limited availability and a waitlist, however, I'd still love to hear from you! - In our therapy space, we won't be able to erase any trauma or distressing life experiences. But what we can do is alter how you engage and think about yourself, others, and the world so you can lead a confident life, even if it gets painful. Whether you want to heal your trauma, mend attachment wounds, or become unstuck from overwhelming emotions, I hope as a client you are able to find your inner resilience and embrace the self-healing journey.

Hello there! As your therapist, I provide a safe place for your authentic self to shine through, helping to establish trust and comfort while navigating the difficult nature of recovery. Together we will work collaboratively to achieve your individual goals and have a fulfilling life that leaves you in control of your decisions. I am incredibly passionate about this work and have been working with eating disorders since 2016, truly believing in full recovery. I am a firm believer in implementing a Health at Every Size principle into my work- along with a dash of humor!

Coping with an eating disorder or a traumatic experience sucks. But YOU don't, and your recovery doesn't have to either. It's not your fault that striving for acceptance or relief turned into something that now controls your life. Highly Sensitive People may be more susceptible to food and body image issues, but you also can benefit greatly from therapy and can make some seriously awe-inspiring changes. I've seen it, and it's why I keep doing the work I do. We need more empowered, attuned individuals in this world.

Women are incredible, and yet, I don’t know a single woman who hasn’t held deep pain and shame about herself at some point; somehow feeling like she is both too much and not enough. Shrinking herself, fighting imposter syndrome, avoiding conflict, feeling guilty for having needs and choosing to care for herself... Maybe you know that feeling too, and maybe that’s why you’re here. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can learn how to move from self-criticism to compassion, rebuild your confidence, and let go of the insecurities that make it so hard for you to see your worth. You can learn how to love yourself and your life again.

Welcome! Sometimes we can find ourselves needing to reset and evaluate the inevitable ruts of life. As psychotherapy is a very personal experience, I strive to provide an empathetic and collaborative therapeutic environment for my clients to explore life’s challenges, increase better self-understanding, identify and make the changes that they seek, and invite bringing oneself back into alignment. Once in alignment with our authentic self, we know freedom.

I work with pre- adolescents, adolescents and adults to treat anxiety, depression, relationship, behavioral and adjustment issues. My style is highly compassionate, respectful and genuine.

Hello - I am a counselor who is also a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse with 40+ years of experience, including 20 years of practicing Clinical Hypnosis for a myriad of issues: anxiety, trauma, depression, and pain, to name but a few. I also train clinicians to utilize Clinical Hypnosis and am an Approved Consultant for the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I focus on finding and treating the cause of the symptoms and in this way, most symptoms are markedly reduced and, often gone altogether. As a client, you and I would team up together and work cooperatively as a team!

I conceptualize therapy as a collaborative process in which therapist and client determine treatment content and goals, working to create an environment of compassion, challenge and insight capable of motivating those disruptive changes which constitute so much of the meaning of therapy. In attempting to individualize treatment, I cultivate an integrative responsiveness utilizing those techniques that seem best able to serve the client's needs and promote therapeutic goals. Often these goals extend beyond symptom relief to include the enhancement of psychological capacities and resources through self exploration and discovery in the context of a safe and authentic therapeutic relationship.

My journey as a Clinical Social Worker has encompassed 30+ years of practice. I have had the privilege to work with children and families as well as with adults in a variety of different settings. I have a strong background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and expertise working with trauma survivors and with those who have experienced vicarious traumatization. My approach can best be described as integrative and holistic. This means that I rely upon various psycho-therapeutic methods and evidence-based models that are combined to create a personalized approach to our work together.

These are stressful, challenging times. Living a human life can be hard. Each of us is likely to encounter problems or dilemmas that leave us feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed. We may have been hurt a while ago but still unable to get past it. We may seek relief yet not find resolution. Often we are caught between wanting to get through something, yet enacting ineffective behaviors meant to keep us safe. This is when it can be helpful to have someone help us face what life is asking from us.

Even in the best of times, life transitions can feel overwhelming. Anxiety may feel unmanageable, or depressive symptoms may have you feeling "stuck." Our past experiences shape who we are and how we interact with the world, and those patterns may not serve us anymore. All parents struggle from time to time, and teens are under more pressure than ever these days, making coping as a teen or a parent of a teen difficult at times. The past years with COVID may have changed your perspective on life, or altered your priorities.

If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed, or you are struggling with grief and loss, or the effects of trauma, I can offer you a safe place to share your feelings and experiences, and to be heard with compassion and understanding. Together we can help you find a greater sense of happiness and well-being.

Therapy is still somewhat stigmatized in our society. I believe a connection & relationship of trust is at the heart of therapy. This relationship is important because the therapist and client need to work as a team. The therapist doesn't dispense advice. Instead, a good therapist listens attentively. Then together they can discover what is leaving the client feeling stuck and help the client move forward and find happiness.
