Meagé Clements, a trauma-informed therapist, smiles warmly at the camera while seated with a notepad and pen—offering a welcoming presence for clients seeking deeper, body-centered healing beyond traditional talk therapy.

Individual Therapy in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia

When traditional talk therapy isn’t enough, healing starts in the body.

Trauma-informed therapy for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ folks

You’ve been doing the most because you had to.

You’ve carried your people. Survived complicated family systems. Navigated spaces that never fully saw you.
Maybe you’ve learned how to hold it together so well that no one sees how much you’re holding.

But deep down, something’s shifting.

You’re tired of over-functioning. Of shrinking yourself to keep the peace. Of navigating the world in survival mode.

You want to feel safe. Seen. Steady.
You want to heal—but not at the expense of your boundaries or your identity.

Areas of Support

While trauma is often at the root, it rarely stands alone.


Therapy at Unbothered Psychotherapy and Wellness is spacious enough to hold the many ways pain, identity, and resilience show up.

Clients also come to therapy with me for support around:

  • Two open hands face upward—one with the word “yes” and the other with “no” written on the palms—symbolizing the practice of setting boundaries and making empowered choices.

    People-Pleasing & Assertiveness

    Releasing the pressure to overgive and learning how to speak your needs with clarity and compassion.

  • Two people walk down a city street—one carrying stacked boxes, the other holding a plant—capturing the emotional weight and uncertainty of major life changes and transitions.

    Life Transitions, Grief & Loss

    Navigating the uncertainty of change, identity shifts, and ambiguous or tangible grief. Whether you're mourning a relationship, a version of yourself, or something harder to name—this is a space to hold it all.

  • A person sits at a desk in front of a computer, head resting in their hands—conveying feelings of overwhelm, tension, and emotional fatigue often tied to anxiety and stress.

    Anxiety, Depression & Stress

    Soothing overwhelm, untangling survival strategies, and rebuilding a relationship with your nervous system.

  • A family sits together at a table—two adults and a child. The child looks down, disengaged, while one adult leans into the other—reflecting emotional disconnection and complex family dynamics.

    Attachment Trauma & Family Estrangement

    For those navigating complicated bonds, chosen distance, or the quiet ache of never having felt truly safe. We’ll explore how early wounds shape current relationships—and how you can begin to choose differently.

What Therapy Looks Like Here

My approach blends evidence-based trauma treatment with relational, anti-oppressive care. I honor your lived experience, and we move at your pace.

I integrate:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to support trauma resolution and nervous system repair

  • IFS-informed parts work to help you understand and care for the inner parts of you that have been protecting or surviving

  • Somatic therapy to support body awareness, nervous system regulation, and a deeper sense of safety and wholeness

I also center liberation-based and identity-affirming practices for clients impacted by racial trauma, queer invisibility, and intergenerational grief.

Signs You May Benefit from Therapy with Me

You might resonate with this if:

  • You’re navigating family estrangement or emotionally complex relationships

  • You’ve internalized perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-silencing

  • You experience trauma symptoms like hypervigilance, tension, or dissociation

  • You’ve tried therapy before, but it didn’t feel safe, affirming, or deep enough

  • You’re ready to reconnect with your body and build boundaries that actually hold

This is a space to soften.

At Unbothered Psychotherapy and Wellness, I offer therapy that’s rooted in rest—not hustle.

This isn’t about performing your healing. It’s about creating space to listen to your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and release what no longer serves you.

Therapy with me is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and paced with care. Together, we’ll explore how trauma lives in the body—and how healing can, too.

You deserve therapy that affirms all of you—not just the parts that have kept you safe.

This is a space where you don’t have to explain, perform, or carry it alone.
Let’s reconnect you with your body, your boundaries, and your capacity to heal on your own terms.

FAQs

  • Great question—this comes up a lot, and it’s important to clarify because each service is ethically and legally distinct, and serves a different purpose.

    🧠 Therapy

    Therapy is a clinical service that focuses on mental health treatment and trauma recovery. I’m a licensed therapist in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia, and I support clients through emotional healing, identity exploration, nervous system regulation, and trauma integration using modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, and somatic therapy.

    Therapy is only available to residents of MD, DC, and VA and is governed by strict licensure laws and clinical boundaries.

    💬 Wellness Coaching

    Coaching is non-clinical, future-focused support for clients anywhere in the world. This work is ideal for folks looking to build boundaries, recover from burnout, and create sustainable, nervous system–aware self-care routines.

    Coaching is not a substitute for therapy. It does not involve diagnosis, clinical treatment, or crisis management.

    💪🏾 Trauma-Informed Personal Training

    Personal training focuses on movement and strength building that’s nervous system-safe and rooted in body-trust. I support clients in healing from shame-based fitness culture and reconnecting to movement that feels empowering, not punishing.

    Sessions are designed with trauma-awareness in mind, but this is not a form of therapy or emotional processing space.

  • Each offering—therapy, coaching, and training—is provided separately to maintain clear boundaries and ethical integrity. However, many clients move between services as their needs shift over time.

    If you’re unsure where to begin, I’m happy to help you figure out the best fit during a free consultation.

  • I do not accept insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider.

    Why not?

    Choosing not to accept insurance allows me to:

    • Provide trauma-informed, client-centered care without restrictions or diagnosis requirements

    • Avoid rushed sessions or treatment plans dictated by insurance timelines

    • Offer a depth of support that isn’t always reimbursable under traditional models

    • Maintain your privacy and autonomy, as I am not required to submit personal information to third-party systems

    Many clients use HSA/FSA accounts or submit superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. If you're unsure about your benefits, I recommend calling your insurance provider to ask about out-of-network coverage for outpatient psychotherapy.

  • You’re not alone. Many clients start their healing journeys without knowing what kind of support they need. That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation—so we can talk about your goals, your energy, and what feels doable for you right now.
