Laura Bertrand
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
License #005014
Founder, WellBeing Sanctuary
Rooted in evidence-based care and integrative wellness, I empower individuals to embrace their journey from shadow to light. Healing is a courageous act—one of uncovering the self, honoring the parts that have been buried, numbed, or masked, and transforming them into guides for growth.
Just as a tree begins as a seed, pushing through darkness toward the sun, each story holds the potential for renewal. Together, we navigate compacted emotional soil to uncover clarity, wholeness, and the wisdom that blooms from stillness.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I honor the Native and Indigenous peoples—especially my ancestors from the Abenaki Tribe of Odanak. I acknowledge that we live and work on stolen land and offer deep respect and gratitude to the original peoples who lived in sacred relationship with the Earth.
