Bertha Carrelli, LCSW-C (she/her) 

Are you feeling stuck or held back by current or past experiences? Does it feel a bit (or a lot) daunting to start trauma therapy? As a Certified EMDR therapist, Certified IFS informed EMDR therapist and EMDRIA approved Consultant with 20+ years of experience I offer therapy that is both gentle and effective. Together, we can heal your painful experiences, embrace and celebrate your unique strengths, and transform anxiety into a sense of calm and confidence.
During sessions we'll go at a pace that is comfortable for you. Treatment will feel both productive and manageable. We'll focus the on goals you'd like to achieve and I'll introduce different therapy methods that help resolve trauma triggers and strengthen your innate internal resources (i.e. EMDR, IFS, Mind-Body techniques, and if you like, creative arts tools.)
I treat childhood trauma, recent trauma, anxiety, PTSD, C-PTSD, loss, medical trauma, adverse home or school experiences, abuse, and neglect. I work with people of all ages (children, teens and adults) and specialize in therapy for therapists. I enjoy creating a non-judgmental safe space for therapist clients in which they can productively work on achieving their therapy goals without having to fear that they will be judged on their professional capabilities or worry that they’re not going get the care they need because the therapist may have assumptions about them already having certain skills.
In addition to weekly/biweekly 50-minute sessions, I offer EMDR Intensives (4-hour sessions). To learn more about Intensives, please visit EMDR/IFS/Intensives (berthacarrelli.com)
