Your Journey Towards Wellness

“A ship is safest at harbor, but that is not what ships are built for.” - John A. Shedd.

This simple yet poignant quote is the basis for the creation of the name Voyage Counseling. Embarking on this journey is one which will ask you to leave the safety of your familiar harbor and weather a few storms. However, no ship is complete without a crew that desires the best for one another. Join me as we chart what will be most helpful for you to encounter true inner harmony.

Internal Family Systems

I am trained as an IFS Informed Clinician. Internal Family Systems shares many parallels with practices like EMDR, Brainspotting, and other trauma treatments. IFS is a cutting edge theory that asks each of us to embrace ourselves with compassion and grace. It is a practice that makes self-forgiveness possible and, in turn, allows self-confidence to flourish in ways you hadn’t been aware.

Here are just a few of the many things that working together with a parts frame can allow us to accomplish together:

  • Reduce the intensity of anxiety and depression symptoms

  • Increase courage and confidence, bolstering one’s self-worth

  • The ability to form clear, respectable boundaries with those around us

  • Move toward and heal the very roots of past traumas

Blake K. Bertrand

Therapy is my passion and the craft of which I’m privileged to continue to hone since 2021. When we meet you will find that I take a judgement-free stance, and approach every new issue we face together with compassion, wit, and tact. Embarking on a journey in therapy is no small feat, so I look forward to moving with you in a way that allows us to feel connected while always moving closer and closer to the inner harmony you have been seeking for so long. I look forward to being with you.
