EMDR Consultation

What is EMDR?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an evidenced based form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals heal from the emotional distress resulting from traumatic events, or other adverse experiences that are causing distress in the present.

When you experience a traumatic event, your brain sometimes struggles to process the experience. EMDR therapy aims to help the brain process these memories effectively, thereby reducing their impact. EMDR taps into our nervous systems’ innate wisdom and natural inclination toward healing.

Experiential EMDR Consultation

Helping you move from being stuck with clients to back into your natural rhythm.

We strongly believe that we become amazing therapists once we tap into the wisdom of our own lived experiences and know the humbling experience of being a client.

Our consultation style is just that: intuitive and from each of our own lived experiences, combined with our expertise in the field of mental health. We will ebb and flow between didactic and experiential learning based on what you need in the moment. All of our consultants have a strong foundation in AIP theory and incorporate IFS and polyvagal theory into EMDR.

We are available for as needed individual and group consultation, and for those who are wanting to get EMDR certified or become a consultant in training.

EMDR Intensives

Support to help you thrive in your practice and life.

We believe that the most important and effective therapeutic intervention is you. Your ability to show up as your authentic self and hold the sacred healing space for your clients is directly related to the work you are doing for yourself.

It is true that we can only take our clients as far as we have gone in our own healing journeys. EMDR Intensives can help you strengthen your skills as an EMDR therapist while at the same time helping you heal from your own adverse experiences.

We want to empower you to go deeper if you are interested in taking that leap.
