Marc Letendre, MSEd, MA, Therapist

Hello, my name is Marc Letendre.  I am a solution-focused practitioner who approaches counseling from the perspective that you are the expert in your own life; my job is to serve as a subject matter specialist and technical advisor to help you accomplish your goals. I believe in a holistic approach to wellness which places a premium on finding balance in life while also leveraging evidence-based techniques to address trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. 

Having worked as a professional first responder for over twenty years I have a deep understanding of the unique stresses which come with high stress/low tolerance for error work and of the impacts those stressors have on mood and relationships.  My door will always be open to first responders and others who are routinely tasked with interacting in similar environments as well as their spouses and loved ones.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing the guitar, reading, and being outdoors.  

If you think I can be of service to you, please contact our office to schedule an appointment.

ART is a technique rooted in existing evidence-based therapies that provides rapid relief from distressful trauma symptoms, anxiety, and other issues. ART is used to treat betrayal trauma, PTSD, and many other forms of trauma.   Clients suffering from other mental health challenges can experience remarkable benefits.  Some of these challenges include:  Addiction, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Grief & Loss, Family Issues, and Phobias. 

ART works by temporarily reactivating the traumatic memory using relaxing eye movements. When the memory is accessed it can be permanently changed using ART's protocols and techniques.  While the client knows that the changes are not the actual memory, it provides a new start for the client.  The clients Trigger Origin is changed or removed which provides rapid emotional relief.  ART's motto is to keep the knowledge and lose the pain.  Once the session is complete, you will still have the facts of the memory, but you will lose the painful images, emotions, and sensations that were once a part of the memory.

The approaches I use include strengths-based and solution-focused approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and mindfulness-based practices.
