  • “This training provides so much insight into understanding clients and family who are neurodivergent. I now feel I can be a better therapist and bring about more healing!” —Michon Tucker, LPC-S

  • This training was fantastic! I would recommend it to anyone working with neurodivergent clients wanting a foundation in theory and creative new ideas about how to best adapt EMDR to meet the therapy needs of their clients. I got so much out of it that I was able to immediately implement in sessions, and I’ve been practicing EMDR for 15 years. Thank you Christine!” – Kasey Butler, LCSW-S

It was overwhelmingly informative, practical, and even personally healing and validating. She even provides scripts for later use in your practice. Could not recommend more!” – Kyle Rutherford, LMFT-Associate
