“Thank you so much for considering me as a consultant-in-training on your journey to become an EMDR Certified Practitioner! EMDR therapy completely transformed and elevated my clinical practice, as well as helped me in my personal journey of self-development and growth. I firmly believe all clinicians have their own clinical gifts, and in using a strength-based approach I would love the opportunity to help you become more confident using EMDR so that you may also bring the transformative experience of EMDR to your clients.”
