Stephanie Lazarte-Berkowitz Ma, LMHC

I am a licensed psychotherapist providing virtual individual therapy to clients residing in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Colorado. I take a trauma-informed, strengths-based, client-centered approach to my therapy work. As a creative individual, you can also expect me to offer reflection activities that are not only talk-focused/word-focused. Together, we will take opportunities to return to your bodily experience and practice embodying healing (not just talking about it). My therapy approach is informed by my training in complex-trauma/developmental trauma and the importance of creativity & play in healing. I love working with folks trying to better understand who they are, wanting to experience more freedom in their lives, and seekers of meaning/purpose.

I value creativity in the therapy space and I believe that you are the expert in your own experience. I try to allow space for flexibility and creative interventions to come organically in the therapy space instead of trying to conform the time to a specific structure. I believe by allowing for flexibility and creativity, your experience can have the space to unfold and be honored. 

I primarily provide an eclectic approach to therapy, meaning I pull from various other therapy modalities that I have received training or have experience in to support your specific goals. These elements will come from therapy modalities/approaches such as the following: Attachment, Regulation, Competency (ARC) Framework, Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART), Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Expressive Arts Therapies, Internal Family Systems (IFS) 

Whether you are looking for long-term therapy, short-term therapy, or just want to test therapy out to see where it goes, I hope to inspire you to be curious about your experiences, learn to value and love yourself, and empower you to continue making steps in your healing journey with me or with other healers in and throughout your life.
