Elyse offers EMDR Therapy Consultation for clinicians who are looking to deepen their practice or pursue certification. Monthly groups form regularly, in a small group format. Individual consultation is also available.
Choosing a consultant with intention is critical for integrating EMDR into your practice. While basic training teaches you how to treat single-incident trauma and less complicated cases, it often isn’t enough to confidently treat clients with complex trauma. How and with whom you choose to keep learning is critical to whether you adopt this powerful form of therapy whole-heartedly and facilitate lasting, transformative change for your clients, or abandon it in the year after initial training, as a large percentage of clinicians do. As an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, Elyse helps you deepen your skills as an EMDR therapist who has the confidence to know when and how to modify the standard protocol and adapt to your client’s particular needs.
As a consultant, Elyse is hands-on, innovative, evidence -based and committed to clinical excellence. She serves as a guide and moderates group discussions rather than prescribing what to do. Elyse is life-long learner and has cultivated a strong foundation in both community-based mental health and private practice. Elyse counts many EMDR professionals amongst her mentors, and has primarily studied with Deany Laliotis, Arnold ‘A.J.’ Popky, and Dr. Andrew Leeds.
