Anti-racist, person-centered, collaborative care to help you live a life you love. 

Yes. Consultation hours meet requirements set by EMDRIA and can be applied toward certification when all other criteria (https://www.emdria.org/emdr-training/certification-faqs/)are met.

This offering is for therapists who have completed an EMDRIA-approved basic training and are actively working toward certification. You do not need to feel confident or advanced. You do need to be using EMDR in your clinical work.

Both options are available depending on current openings. Individual consultation offers focused case depth. Small group consultation offers shared learning, normalization, and community. You can do all 15 hours with me individually, or 10 hours in a group with 5 individual hours.

You are welcome to bring complex cases, both those where the work is going well and those you need more support navigating. Common themes include developmental trauma, dissociation, medical trauma, chronic illness, grief, identity-based trauma, blocked processing, and questions about pacing or readiness.

That is expected. Consultation is a place to slow things down, revisit foundations, and think together. Feeling unsure does not mean you are doing it wrong. It often means you are practicing thoughtfully.

Yes. This space is intentionally capacity aware. We attend to pacing, energy, and sustainability for therapists as well as clients. You do not need to mask, overextend, or perform wellness to belong here.

Sessions are structured enough to support learning and certification requirements, while remaining flexible and responsive to your needs and cases. We balance protocol clarity with clinical judgment and relational care. Sessions consist of case reviews, AIP theory, and practice sessions.

My style is collaborative, grounded, and direct when helpful. This is not an evaluative or shaming space. Questions, curiosity, and reflection are welcome. You will be met with respect for your competence and your humanity.

Frequency depends on your timeline for certification and availability. Many clinicians meet monthly or biweekly. We can decide what feels realistic and supportive for you.

Starting in March 2026, I will offer a monthly group on the second Monday of each month from 12-1:30 PM and the third Friday of the month from 3-4:30 PM.

The first step is a brief consult conversation. This is a chance to ask questions, name your goals, and see whether this consultation space aligns with what you are looking for.

During the first session, you and your clinician complete a full assessment of why you're coming to therapy and an overall history. From there, you will decide on two to three targeted goals to improve depression, anxiety, relationships, etc. Sometimes during sessions, we may practice concrete skills while at other times we may have in-depth conversations about what you're experiencing emotionally. Your clinician uses your feedback to modify interventions based on where you are at in your unique healing journey.

Our staff work most effectively with people experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, trauma recovery, depression, and hypomania. Our team also works well with people who have co-occurring medical health concerns, want to integrate spirituality into therapy, or are part of the LGBTQQIA community. If you have had substance use or eating disorders, we will be able to work with you if you've had at least 3-4 months of sustained recovery. For people who utilize crisis services and inpatient hospitalizations regularly, the Practice Owner recommends working with a larger therapeutic services agency. In couple's therapy, we do not provide services if one or both members of the couple are physically assaultive to the other partner. We are happy to provide referrals to other programs and therapists if we are not a good fit.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, practice owner, Lindsay Boudreau created a telehealth practice. Throughout the first year, Lindsay recognized that many clients were from locations in the state that would make it difficult for in-person appointments. In addition, her local clients stated that they felt more comfortable in their own surroundings and greater scheduling flexibility to meet while at work or home. Based on these findings, Lindsay made the decision to be a telehealth practice regardless of pandemic conditions. Telehealth services are completed on a HIPAA compliant platform to ensure security. Limited in person referrals are available if you are solely looking for in-person therapy.

We generally cannot provide telehealth services for people living in another state. In addition, if you are out of state on vacation or for school, we are unable to provide services. Two clinicians, Lindsay Boudreau and Ariana Flanagan, have dual licensure in Rhode Island but our other clinicians are Massachusetts-only based. Please use Therapy Den, Unmute, Psychology Today, or Thriving Campus for out of state therapy services.

Yes, we take Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts (includes Commercial, MassHealth and ConnectorCare), United Healthcare, Optum, Mass General Brigham Partnership, Mass General Brigham ACO, Wellsense (Commercial and MassHealth), Fallon (Commercial and MassHealth), Revere, MBHP, BeHealthy Partnership. Not every clinician takes each insurance panel yet, due to the credentialing process. If you go to About Us and click on each clinician's profile, you can read about what insurances they currently accept. Our practice owner Lindsay Boudreau is the only provider who takes Health New England due to telehealth provider restrictions.

The practice no longer is able to support sliding scale clients except for limited slots through Open Path Collective. If you have commercial insurance and are able to pay the full rates, we will give you a superbill for each session for partial (but not guaranteed) reimbursement. The fee is charged after each session. Please check your plan's out-of-network benefits. If you have a MassHealth plan and do not have Tufts, Mass General Brigham ACO, Wellsense, Fallon, Revere, MBHP, C3, BeHealthy Partnership, we cannot work with you at Elemental Intuition due to insurance contract regulations. We have referral options available to help, as we know how hard it has been to wait for care!

To avoid the cancellation fee, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance. If you cancel with less than 24 hours or do not show up for the appointment, and it is not an unforeseeable emergency (e.g. illness, accident), you will be charged $100 to the credit card on file. HSA/FSA cards and insurance cannot be used to bill for these missed appointments. Clients on MassHealth plans cannot be charged the fee. If you have 3 late cancellations or no-shows, you and your therapist will need to discuss whether you can continue working together. After the fourth no show or late cancel, we will terminate sessions. You are welcome to return to the practice at a later date if you can commit to sessions, but we cannot guarantee availability with your original clinician.

Insurances generally do not cover couple's therapy unless the primary insured person has a diagnosable mental health condition that couple's therapy could be beneficial in treating. Please contact your insurance to review benefits for CPT codes 90846 and 90847. We currently have one couples therapist, Debra Lucey-Maynard LICSW, and she has openings.

We accept many of the MassHealth plans that go through an ACO or MCO. We are unable to work with anyone who only has MassHealth Standard or Health Safety Net. Due to additional certification requirements, we are only able to work with adults 21+ who are on a MassHealth Plan.

As our practice is fully telehealth, we will work with teenagers who are 15 and older. Not all of our clinicians work with teenagers, so please review the therapist's page for their age limitations. We cannot see people under 21 on MassHealth.

Therapy Intensives are perfect for people that are ready for relief now. If you’re ready to see things change in your life and your relationships but you don’t want to wait for that to happen next year - a Therapy Intensive may be right for you. If you have a specific topic, trauma, or stressor that you want support with - this can be the focus of your Therapy Intensive. The dedicated time will be customized specifically to you and your goals.

Therapy Intensives are more effective and efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check-in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different. A 3-hour Therapy Intensive allows for 2.5 hours of depth work. That’s the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!

Great question! This depends on your goals for the EMDR Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day Intensive (3 hours), but other goals are more complex and may require a 3 Day Intensive. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.

Absolutely! EMDR Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.

Let’s schedule a time to talk! I’m happy to answer any questions and explore your unique situation to see if an EMDR Intensive may be helpful for you. Email me to schedule a time so we can see if EMDR Intensives are right for you: lboudreau@elementalintuition.com (mailto:lboudreau@elementalintuition.com)

EMDR Intensives are not covered by insurance.

A 50% non-refundable deposit is due at the time you book your EMDR Intensive. The remaining 50% is due on the first day of the Intensive Session.
