About Wren
Welcome to EMDR with Wren! I bring warmth, compassion, and dynamic engagement to each therapeutic relationship. I believe in meeting clients where they are and supporting them through their unique healing journey with evidence-based practices tailored to their individual needs. In the consultation and
in initial individual therapy sessions I outline in detail how we might collaborate to build trust and connection which is essential to therapy. I am licensed in Vermont and Massachusetts and welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.
PS - My given name is Karen. In high school a friend gave me the nickname of “Wren.” Yes, like the bird. I use both names interchangeably. I invite you to call me Wren, but I am also happy to be known by you as Karen. I use she/her pronouns. I hope this satisfies any confusion and if it does not, I am happy to discuss this with you.
My Availability
I am currently accepting clients for EMDR Groups and Emotion 101 Psycho-Education Groups for 2026. For individual therapy, I maintain a waitlist and encourage you to reach out to discuss your needs and explore whether we might be a good fit. I welcome your questions and look forward to potentially supporting you on your healing journey.
Training & Background
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Smith College School for Social Work in 1999. My professional experience includes work in medical settings such as oncology, end-of-life care, and bereavement services. I have completed the Smith College Post-Graduate Certificate in End-of-Life Care as well as Prolonged Grief Training at Columbia University School of Social Work.
My Commitment to You
I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and affirming, environment for individuals seeking trauma therapy and healing. As a licensed psychotherapist with over twenty years of clinical experience, I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have extensive training in trauma-informed care.

Inclusive Care
I am dedicated to providing affirming, culturally responsive therapy to all clients, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, and BIPOC individuals. My practice strives to be a safe and welcoming space where everyone feels seen, respected, and supported.
