Charlotte LaForest (she/her)

I am trained in EMDR and other body-based treatments of trauma. I have particular expertise in religious and spiritual trauma, narcissistic abuse, medical trauma, and workplace trauma.

In my work as a therapist, an Episcopal priest and a hospice chaplain I have accompanied people through many of the worst moments of their lives and explored the possibility of hope on the other side. While my knowledge of the Judeo-Christian tradition is deepest, I have experience working in interfaith contexts, and with people of all backgrounds (those who consider themselves religious and those who don't!) to engage their spirituality in their healing and find meaning, purpose, and joy.

As a therapist, Episcopal priest, and hospice chaplain, I have decades of experience helping people through many of the most difficult moments of their lives. While my knowledge of the Judeo-Christian tradition may be the deepest, I have significant experience working in interfaith contexts and working with people of all backgrounds (those who consider themselves religious and those who don't!) find meaning, purpose, and joy in their lives.

I specialize in trauma therapy and in particular the integration of EMDR and other body based approaches into the process of healing. I also have training in trauma-sensitive yoga and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. I specialize in religious and spiritual trauma, intergenerational trauma, medical trauma, and the primary and secondary trauma experienced by clergy and other helping professionals.

I trained in EMDR through the Touchstone Institute with Mara Tessler-Stein and have completed all necessary hours and consultation for certification.

My training in pastoral counseling was in the Rogerian tradition, rooted in unconditional positive regard and support for the client who is in front of me.

I have decades of experience working with the impacts of trauma on the mind, the body, and the spirit in a wide variety of contexts.
