Heather is the kindest & caringest medical professional I ever met. I highly recommend her!
FRVerified patient
She was understanding and warm, and gave great feedback. Will be going back.

Starting therapy was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. I felt seen, supported, and gently guided through a very important chapter of my life. I’m incredibly thankful for this space and the impact it’s had on my wellbeing.

I have not found better trauma-informed care than working with Heather Lortie and the entire team at The Collaborative. Heather's approach
is compassionate, individualistic and open-minded while allowing me the space and agency to make my own decisions. Coming into therapuetic treatment requiring intensive care, Heather coordinated with my clinical providers in a timely and responsive manner. I am truly grateful.
AMVerified patient
Therapy with Heather changed my body, my brain and my life. We have gone beyond what I thought therapy could be. If you are ready to heal, book it.

I have been working with Heather for the past few months, and it has truly been a transformative experience even in such a short window of time. Heather is extremely approachable, reassuring, and insightful. She uses a variety of techniques to approach different issues from different angles, which has been invaluable. I very highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a therapist, and in fact have already recommended her to a number of people in person.
May 13, 2019Elliana O.Verified patient
Heather is extremely insightful, compassionate and professional. I felt immediately at ease in her presence and knew that I had found the right person after my first session. I have been blown away by the impact Heather has made on my life and look forward to working with her week after week.
DOVerified patient
I've been seeing Heather for almost a year since I graduated from college and moved to NYC. She has a been a tremendous help and resource in helping me work through some traumatic past experiences, adjust to life after college and all the challenges the city presents. Her use of various techniques including tapping and eye movement has been particularly helpful for my anxiety. I can say without a doubt that Heather is one of the most caring, sincere and knowledgeable therapists I've worked with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Kelly S.Verified patient
Heather was attentive, patient, sensitive and very knowledgeable. She started out by treating our son, who was suffering from anxiety and fear. She subsequently treated us all on an individual level and group level as a family. She led us through several trying times with expertise and complete professionalism. I have already recommended Heather to several of my peers and will continue to do so.
LJVerified patient
Heather Lortie is an exceptional therapist. Her use of different modalities somatic experiencing / emdr / tapping is very effective. Her knowledge is so current / up to date that she is on the cutting edge of psycho therapy treatment. The field has advanced so much in the last 15 years & H.L. keeps abreast of all the new information. I have been through psychotherapy before but I have never experienced the powerful & long standing changes in my behavius that I have experienced with Ms. Lortie. My entire family has benefited from her work with both me & my 9 yr old daughter . Ms. Lortie has helped us navigate through a divorce & several other changes in our family dynamic. I have recommend her to over 10 people & all who have met her feel a huge shift in their process as well.

Carol helped change my life. I came to her on a precipice and she very carefully and lovingly guided me to safety within myself. I only had the great privilege of seeing her for about a year or so before relocating to a location she was no longer licensed. In that short period, she helped reshape my relationship with myself, my body, my loved ones, to the extent that it transformed the way I interact and show up in the world, probably for the rest of my life. Her capacity to verbalize and bridge intimate concepts and create safety through a sense of shared vulnerability is truly a gift. It's made it incredibly daunting to seek counseling elsewhere, however I am eternally grateful for the gift of her practice and our relationship.
MEVerified patient
Every visit with Carol is great. I am amazed at how easily she is able to identify things in my past that I've never connected before. I don't know if it is the actual questions she asks or the timing, but it feels so natural. I haven't been seeing her long but already see how beneficial her insight is in my processing.
SHVerified patient
Working with them has been helpful in finding and implementing plans to help with managing my mood and behavior. I am very glad to work with them given the schedule we have and appreciate their flexibility when scheduling conflicts arise. I truly appreciate the support I have found in working with them over the many years I have attended therapy with them.
ACVerified patient
Remarkable therapist. Warm, insightful, intuitive. Radiates a healing and welcoming energy that you'll want to carry with you everywhere you go. Highly recommend.
AGVerified patient
Miles is one of the most caring, intuitive and insightful practitioners I've ever worked with. When I found myself in a moment of tremendous anxiety, depression and insecurity, my work with him helped me to change course and rebuild. He listens deeply, gives thoughtful challenges and advice, and has helped me to build self-compassion (and compassion for others) in a way that has really changed and improved my life. His comfort with multiple disciplines from Meditation to Alexander Technique and Breathwork to more traditional Therapy has meant that our sessions are never dull, and that there's always a new way to re-think/re-frame/tackle a problem. If you're in search of help, change, development or just deep empathy and support, I couldn't recommend working with him more.
GAVerified patient
I've been working with Miles for a while, and from the first time I met him I felt safe in his presence. His patience and kindness alone have been incredibly healing, and he was intuitively able to allow me to find the places in me that I had previously been unable to access. I can't recommend him enough--he is a wonderful, smart and gifted healer.
SFVerified patient
Miles was an extraordinary support in my sessions with him. He offers wonderful presence, understanding, and humor. He has a big heart and clearly has spent a lot of time to cultivate such strong healing skills.
PPVerified patient
I began my work with Miles when I was living a very isolated life, including not having been in a romantic relationship for many years. I lost a lot of my professional confidence as a result of my response to the lock down and was gun shy about committing myself to projects that were very important to me.
But within a few months of the start of our work I entered a romantic relationship that holds strong to this day and committed myself to a project that I had never previously had the courage to begin. More than that, I began letting go of my rigidity that kept me stuck in both my work and my personal life. Today, I'm able to plunge into the unknown with far less fear than before.
I attribute this to Miles' uncanny capacity to help others feel seen - to provide his guidance with warmth and understanding. Add to that his knowledge about the body and how somatics play a role in healing trauma and it's safe to say that working with Miles is a gateway to another kind of life.
NGVerified patient
I’ve been working with Miles for a few years and consider him to be one of the most skilled and compassionate therapists I’ve encountered in my healing work to date. From the moment we first met, I knew I’d found an ally.
Miles brings the gift of heightened listening skills to our therapy sessions and he always responds from a place of earnest reflection and wisdom. I often find myself jotting down his nuggets of insight, phrases that I carry into my journaling and meditation practice. I’ve grown immensely through our work together and I trust him implicitly. I feel grateful for the connection.
JFVerified patient
Miles has a unique ability to instill equanimity. Not only has Miles provided psychoeducation on trauma and recovery, Miles has helped me be more open to my own experience and the communion of healing through support. His peaceful demeanor and patience make me feel welcome and at ease.

Charity reached out after I booked the appointment and gave an overview of what to expect. She was super responsive, answered all my questions and our first appointment went really well!
January 9, 2024Initials hidden
My sessions with Charity have made such a difference for my mental and spiritual health. I find such benefit from my Brainspotting sessions. Charity helps me feel safe and supported as we work on difficult issues. I see major positive changes in how I interact with myself and others after each session. I highly recommend Brainspotting and working with Charity.
FCVerified patient
Charity is an exceptional provider. She is professional, listens well, and is very supportive. Every session has been amazing. I highly recommend Charity Christensen. She also helps my teenage son and does a wonderful job. We both look forward to our sessions.
BWVerified patient
My brainspotting appointments with Charity Christensen, MA were incredibly transformative. She created a radically kind, safe and supportive environment for processing and releasing long held trauma. As a healing modality, brainspotting felt like a bit of modern day magic, with Charity as a kind, capable and grounded guide throughout the process. It was one of the most effective therapies I’ve ever experienced, and truly changed my life.
JCVerified patient
Kara is amazing! She is warm and friendly without sacrificing professionalism or honesty. She uses a somatic-informed approach, which is new for me, but it's been surprisingly helpful! She's also extremely empathetic and is able to guide me through talking about difficult subjects with patience, care, and sometimes even humor. I tried out 4 or 5 different therapists before landing on Kara, and I'm so grateful I found her. I can't recommend her highly enough!
ERVerified patient
I found Kara at time when I was really struggling. Right away our first meeting was warm and open and I felt like I could really trust her with the deep grief I was moving through. When my schedule with work was challenging she found times that worked for us both and made me feel like therapy was accessible and easy at at time when everything was hard. I can't express how much that service alone saved me, not to mention the care and insight provided in all of our sessions. I am looking forward to moving out of crisis mode with Kara and moving towards more deep healing and connecting with my all my parts in our sessions to come. I am so grateful to have her.
JWVerified patient
Kara is a godsend! From our first session things just clicked. Talking to her is effortless and I really am so grateful for having her!
TOVerified patient
Working with Kara has been life-changing. When I first came to her, I had already spent over a decade in therapy but still felt stuck. Through our work together, she’s helped me reconnect with my body, process trauma, and release layers of guilt and shame so I can finally step into the person I want to be. Kara’s warmth and presence make me feel truly seen, and I’m endlessly grateful for her guidance.
