A Huge shoutout to our most recently EMDR-trained clinicians 🤍
Three years ago, I started the EMDRIA application process to become an EMDR-approved trainer. I chose EMDR as the foundation for training within our own group practice because it offers something so many therapists are looking for: a solid, comprehensive way to assess trauma and the clinical skills to work with some of the most complex and challenging presentations we see.
So many of us know how to sit with grief, trauma, and chaos, but early on, many of us weren’t taught how to organize that information or view a case through an adaptive processing lens. EMDR training gives clinicians that framework. It helps therapists approach tough cases with more clarity. The develop confidence and lean into their sessions with intention. Throughout their training, our clinicians learn how to work with dissociation, support diverse populations (including children, groups, and first responders) and…just as importantly…they do their own work in training so they’re showing up with less of their own emotional load in the room.
I’m incredibly proud of this group. They leaned into the hard sessions, the long days of instruction and practicum, and continued growing through additional consultation with our amazing faculty, Bambi Depew, LCSW-S, and Kathy Giovas, LCSW-S.
If you’re considering joining one of our 2026 cohorts, this training is about building on what you already know and expanding your capacity to help clients heal from past wounds, present-day triggers, and future concerns. Join us in 2026!
