About
Survival made sense. Healing can, too.
You may look composed and capable while privately bracing, replaying, disconnecting, or over-functioning.
An EMDRIA Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training, trained in IFS at Level 2, KimMarie brings more than a decade of clinical experience to warm, direct, carefully paced therapy — shaping EMDR, Internal Family Systems, resourcing, and neuroscience around you, not a protocol.
We do not ask, “What is wrong with you?” We ask, “What happened—and what does your system need now?”
— KimMarie

What to expect
How the work begins.
A clear process from the first conversation onward — thorough, unhurried, and paced to your nervous system, not a calendar.
First
The conversation
A complimentary 30-minute video consultation — private and unhurried. We talk about what brings you here, you ask your practical questions, and we both assess fit. There is no obligation.
Then
The first session
A thorough assessment: your history, what you have tried, and what your system does under pressure. From there, we build a plan together — paced to your nervous system, not a schedule.
Ongoing
The work itself
Stabilization and resourcing before any processing, always. Most clients begin meeting weekly; the right rhythm is the one your life can sustain. Depth, done safely.
Featured cohort · Enrollment opens November
Adult Emotional Regulation & Resilience Skills
A 12-week telehealth cohort for adults ready to change what happens in the moment.
The Emotional Regulation Path™ and Internal Resilience System™ combine DBT-informed skills, IFS, EMDR resourcing, and neuroscience in a clear progression grounded in lived experience.
This is a skills cohort — structured education, guided practice, and steady support — not group psychotherapy. Trauma Healing Support runs one cohort at a time, so each program stays small and application-based.

FAQ
Clear answers, before we begin.
Practical details about private-pay care, telehealth, and your first conversation.
Why private pay?
Private pay keeps treatment decisions between you and your clinician—not an insurer. It allows greater privacy, flexibility, and care shaped around your goals.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds?
Yes. HSA and FSA payments are accepted. Superbills are also available for you to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
Where is telehealth available?
Individual telehealth is available to clients located in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Florida, and South Carolina at the time of session.
What happens in the first consultation?
Every engagement begins with a complimentary 30-minute video consultation. We discuss what brings you here and what you need, you ask your practical questions, and we both assess whether the fit is right. There is no obligation — you will leave with a clear next step either way.
Contact
