You feel like your partner just doesn't get it - like they don't understand you. You're stuck in a pattern that seems to never end: one of you shuts down while the other gets critical, and this cycle seems to repeat over and over again. Your sex life is strained, if not absent.

Elizabeth Trembley is a licensed clinical therapist. She believes effective psychotherapy fosters the path towards wholeness and connection and is committed to the healing process. Past hurts, societal and familial programming, the voice of the inner critic, emotional dysregulation, and traumatic experiences can fragment the self and break away our inner strengths and resources. She aims to relocate those strengths and inner resiliencies by facilitating connection, exploration, and implementing appropriate best-practice tools. Her aim is to navigate the psychological barriers that create disconnection and establish new patterns.

I believe that the journey to my client’s sense of well-being comes from an integration of work from both mind and body, self-care practices, rediscovering the self-relationship, social connectedness, and creating a life where your values, and a sense of meaning and purpose are your guides to life. There are many reasons you might seek wellness support or psychotherapy. I offer a safe space to explore and talk about your unique life experiences and identify what you want and need from yourself, the world, and others.
