Madeleine Bertin is a compassionate Clinical Social Worker and Therapist (LCSW) who believes that the therapeutic relationship is the central component to successful psychotherapy. She dedicates special attention to the ongoing process of relational safety, allowing clients to feel secure as they embark on their journey of healing. Recognizing that self-harmful behaviors often have roots in past experiences of threat, Madeleine helps individuals uncover and understand these connections, which can be profoundly transformative. Her approach empowers clients to establish goals, explore their experiences, gain self-awareness, develop vital resources and skills, cultivate self-compassion, and create a fulfilling and meaningful life. With expertise in treating Eating Disorders, Mood and Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, and related issues such as self-harm and suicidal ideation, Madeleine employs a range of modalities, including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Somatic and Trauma-Focused Therapy, as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches. She draws on research from neuroscience, somatic psychology, attachment, and affect regulation to inform her practice. Understanding that reaching out for help can be intimidating—especially for those who have faced past harm—Madeleine honors the immense courage it takes to seek support. She looks forward to collaborating with clients to help them gain self-awareness, trust in themselves, find meaning and purpose, and achieve personal growth and healing.
