“Fantastic! This was one of the best trainings I have ever taken. It was insightful and provided me with tools that reached beyond my professional life and into my personal life, and expanded my understanding of Autism significantly! This was a game-changing training!” —Laura Babineau, LPC
“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
“Christine Molina and her training are so fundamental for any clinician who works with neurodivergent clients or neurotypical clients alike. 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
“Neurodiverse clients present issues that don't always have simple solutions. This training will give you the tools to help Autistic clients make progress and reach their goals for self-compassion and better relationships. I highly recommend it!” – Amy H.
“There should be a way we can answer "6" on the scale of 1-5 because Christine knocked it out of the park! So informative, so many things to take away and apply directly, AND a beautiful heartfelt space where people were able to self-identify. Amazing!” —Miranda Jane

“This training brought together things I’ve stumbled across in practice, consultation I’ve received from professionals, and a non-pathologizing approach to create a clear and practical way to work more effectively with autistic clients. I’m leaving with more resources than I’ve ever gotten from any other training and feel ready to start using what I’ve learned.” —Jordan Weinert, LPC
“I can't say enough about trainings with Complex Trauma Inc. They are always in-depth, well organized, and in a supportive environment with warm and incredible trainers and support staff. Christine Molina's Subtle Autism training did not disappoint!

I can't wait for the next training!” —Letitia Cullens-Proctor, MA, LPC, CCMHC

She is so present and affirming that it evokes feelings of being understood and invigorated.” —Natalie Benedetto, Ph.D.
“This training was so well timed and so thorough that I may take the training a second time! The wealth of information provided is systematically organized and yet designed to be individualized; professional and clinical, and yet relatable to anyone with an interest in serving those who experience autism. I am honored to have learned so much from one of the most compassionate experts in our field!” —Brant Thomsen, LICSW

There was a lot of validation, building community and Christine just has a way of conveying information in a calm manner that is amazing!” —Roxanna A. Carcamo, LCSW
“I'm so happy someone finally did a training addressing this level of Autism. I appreciated the opportunity to share my personal/professional journey, the validation from hearing others' personal and professional stories/experiences, and Christine’s kindness and making sure everyone felt seen and heard.
