Ratesha Berthier

Here to help you recover from traumatic memories and events.

This isn’t your first rodeo.  You’ve been in therapy for awhile and gained a hefty toolbox of coping skills on  your journey.  You talk about your problems with your therapist week after week but leave feeling little relief or no relief at all.  You’re showing up but you still feel stuck knee deep in feeling hopeless, unworthy, sad, angry, afraid, worried, anxious, resentful, and overwhelmed.  

You want therapy to work but it is not leading to the transformation you hope for.  You’re tired of the temporary solutions and are beginning to believe that you’re failing at therapy or that therapy is failing you.  You’re wondering how much longer it will take for the tide to turn.  

Transformation might be closer than you think!

My background & approach

Hi!  I’m Ratesha and I’m an EMDR therapist.  EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can help your mind and body clear out and heal unresolved trauma and the root causes of many types of  distress.  Since being trained in EMDR in 2017, I have witnessed clients experience profound transformation.

My passion is to help sojourners like you uproot your unwanted habits, behaviors, and head-trash (unhelpful and inaccurate thoughts, beliefs, and self-perceptions) and heal from the inside out so you can truly awaken your whole self.   I lean into my authenticity, compassion, empathy, intuition, spirituality, honesty, and humor to co-create your healing space.

I am a New Jersey licensed clinical social worker.  I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Social Policy & Practice.  I earned my Bachelor of Art degree with a major in Psychology from Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.  

I am trained in treating trauma, PTSD, C-PTSD, dissociation, attachment and developmental trauma, cultural and racial trauma, and symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.  

If  you want a deep and lasting transformation, are ready to truly heal from the inside out, and long to awaken the whole healed you-call to schedule a free consultation!
