Welcome!
Thank you for considering me as a consultant for your EMDR practice. 

Picture
Whether you're newly trained, or seeking consolation for more complex trauma cases, it is critical to find a EMDR Consultant that works best with your individual and practice needs. I am passionate about EMDR therapy, and have a strong commitment to helping therapists effectively integrate this powerful tool into their practices.
​
As an EMDR Consultant, I have been trained and mentored by Deany Laliotis, and my specialties are in the area's of attachment trauma, grief and loss, structural dissociation, integration of EMDR with IFS, and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I am trained in R-TEP (Recent Traumatic Events), and G-TEP (Group Traumatic Events Protocol).  I am also an EMDR Trainer and Faculty at Deany Laliotis's The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy. 

I enjoy a hands on approach to learning, where I focus and encourage sound case conceptualization through the EMDR AIP lens, and encourage and challenge clinicians to practice being comfortable with the uncomfortable of exploring and integrating the EMDR protocol. Group EMDR consultations are aimed at strengthening your knowledge and implementation of EMDR Therapy and to successfully integrate it into your clinical practice.

EMDR Consultation Groups currently run by Sarah...

EMDR Basics

This group is designed for EMDR practitioners who are newly trained, or need a refresher, and desire to learn how to best integrate EMDR into their psychotherapy practices or work environments. This group focuses on building confidence with EMDR protocol and practice, how to talk with our clients and contract with clients through the AIP model, and learning how to get comfortable with EMDR as a comprehensive psycho-therapy practice!

Complex Trauma

This group is designed for trained EMDR practitioners who work with complex PTSD and developmental trauma. The group is focused on case conceptualization with specific attention to attachment. The group also integrates, as appropriate and desired, training principles of structural dissociation and IFS through the AIP lens. Specialized protocols are reviewed, as needed, as well as helping clinicians focus on the in-the-moment processing work with their clients. 

Complicated Grief

This group is for EMDR practitioners who work with complicated grief and trauma. This includes end-of-life care through hospice or palliative care, perinatal and infant loss, suicide, and other bereavment trauma. Sarah brings her background and knowledge from working in acute trauma settings, hospice, as well as her extensive history in pediatric palliative care and perinatal loss. This group focuses on overall case conceptualization, common stuck points in processing, and close attention to client's attachment style as this highly influences how people process traumatic loss.

Certification Hours:  This group can be used to earn group consultation hours towards your EMDRIA certification.  Please note that EMDRIA just recently issued new guidelines about earning individual consultation hours within a group format. In groups 4 and larger, no consultant can offer individual hours toward certification for the time a consultee has spent presenting in the group.  All individual consultation hours will need to be earning by setting up separate individual consultation meetings with a consultant of your choice.​
