Trauma Therapist in Gaithersburg, MD

I help women, queer folks, and BIPOC in Gaithersburg reclaim peace, boundaries, and nervous system safety—without the pressure to perform or pretend.

Not all therapists feel safe. And not all therapy is built for you.

You’ve tried to hold it together for years—numbing out, staying busy, or carrying the emotional weight for everyone else. You’re the one people rely on, the one who’s “strong,” even when it costs you your peace.

I’m Meagé (she/her), a trauma therapist and coach based in Gaithersburg, MD. I specialize in helping women, queer folks, and BIPOC clients heal from complex trauma, family dysfunction, religious harm, and identity suppression.

This work isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about creating space to feel, integrate, and move forward in a way that actually honors your body, your story, and your boundaries.

I work best with clients who:

– Feel stuck in fight/flight/freeze cycles
– Struggle with chronic people-pleasing or burnout
– Have felt unsafe, unseen, or dismissed in other healing spaces
– Want a grounded, no-fluff, body-based approach to trauma recovery

Different needs. Different tools. One grounded approach.

I offer both trauma therapy and coaching—because not everyone needs (or wants) the same path to healing.

THERAPY

For residents of Maryland, D.C., and Virginia, therapy offers a deeper space to work through trauma, grief, identity wounds, and nervous system dysregulation using EMDR, IFS, and somatic practices. Therapy is a good fit if you're ready to unpack and process trauma with the support of a licensed professional.

→ Available in-person in Gaithersburg, MD or online across MD, DC, & VA
→ Insurance-superbill provided for private pay clients

COACHING

Coaching is open to clients anywhere in the world and focuses on present-day embodiment, nervous system regulation, boundaries, and personal growth. We don't dwell in the past—we work with what's coming up now and move forward with tools that actually work in real life.

→ Includes 1:1 sessions, wellness coaching, and movement-based group programs
→ Ideal for folks who feel therapy isn’t quite right—or want something more active and integrative

GET UNBOTHERED

Healing happens in real spaces, with real people.

I chose to root my practice in Gaithersburg because this community deserves more spaces where women, queer folks, and people of color can feel seen, supported, and unbothered in their healing.

If you're local to Montgomery County, you don’t have to commute to D.C. or settle for surface-level care. Whether you're walking into my office for a therapy session or moving through a nervous-system-informed coaching group, you’ll be met with care that’s grounded, non-performative, and culturally aware.

This isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming space, community, and rest right where you are.
