Forward Healing Therapy is dedicated to healing trauma across the lifespan.

Forward Healing Therapy is dedicated to utilizing a neuro-informed approach to understanding trauma. By incorporating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and expressive art therapy, we empower adults and children to heal from past experiences and cultivate a path toward a more fulfilling and resilient future. Our mission is to support clients in moving forward with strength and courage, ultimately fostering a sense of wholeness and well-being.

Dissociation is one of those concepts that can take years to really understand.

And I believe that EMDR requires us to understand it, because we’re not working with surface-level stuff. We’re working with complex trauma. We’re working with clients who have the kind of presentations that haven’t shifted with talk therapy or other modalities.

This is what makes EMDR different. Because we understand and work with concepts such as dissociation (even when we don’t plan to), because with PTSD, it always comes into the room.

I’m not here for the old myth that we can’t do EMDR with dissociation present. Yes, it looks different. But it’s still EMDR.

I’m here to name the complexity of this work we do as EMDR therapists.

I’m Lilly, EMDR Consultant and EMDR Business Coach, and I care deeply about making this level of work more visible.

Follow along if you’re here for that. ✨

Side note: Nothing I share here is about a specific client. I don’t quote clients or post anything that would ever compromise confidentiality. My content comes from 8+ years of clinical work, consultation, and treatment of PTSD & dissociation.

Although it does feel AMAZING to check “EMDR” on that psych today profile…

This is my why behind OverFlow. It’s not about making money or starting a new project. It’s about helping EMDR therapists be seen, so that EMDR can be seen. 🤍

“But WHY should I start an EMDR private practice?” They ask us.

BECAUSE…you can do whatever you want! The fun side of the business certainly is appealing. What drove me to be an entrepreneur and open my own practice was because I was tired being told what to do by people I didn’t look up to. I wanted to have my own hours, be creative, decorate my own office, create branding and logos, and come up with fun new ideas.

But the shiny objects soon vanished, as tax season started and clients started cancelling sessions.

I found myself:

🌀 Lost in a sea of other therapists on directory sites
🌀 Exhausted from handling the heaviest cases
🌀 Struggling to pay rent and buy groceries (have we talked about gas prices?!)
🌀 Loving the clinical breakthroughs, but dreading ‘the business’ side of being a therapist
🌀 Stuck thinking I had to stay in group practice

So I realized that if I didn’t master the business side, I wouldn’t be able to sustain the clinical side. I spent years figuring out how to market, set boundaries, and own my worth without losing myself in the process.

➡️ That’s why I created OverFlow. So you don’t have to struggle like I did.

I’m hosting my 3rd virtual workshop for EMDR Therapists on April 6. It’s a space to;

➡️ Refine your business visibility
➡️ Own (and get paid) your worth as a trauma specialist
➡️ Build confidence and clarity with your messaging
