This course, available online or in-person in Oakland, CA, is designed for mental health professionals who work with trauma. We will visit and move beyond any one treatment modality to focus on the ways in which all trauma-informed therapies overlap, inform/support one another, and illuminate a bigger picture. You will receive an abundance of therapeutic interventions for immediate use with clients (in person and via TeleHealth), as well as a road-map for understanding how and when to administer each one. The goal is to empower you 1) to be more fully oriented in your trauma cases, and 2) to be more efficient and effective in your treatment of trauma.

The course incorporates theory and interventions from EMDR, Structural Dissociation, Parts Models and Attachment theory. It is appropriate for Intermediate Level practitioners and includes lecture, live demonstration, practicum and case examples.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations will receive a 100% refund minus a $30 administrative fee with notification of cancellation 15 or more days prior to the start of the training. Cancellations will receive NO refund if the notification arrives less than 15 days prior to the start of the training or if no notification is provided. In the event of a COVID outbreak or crisis any in-person portion of the Training may move online. If such a circumstance happens, this cancellation policy still applies.

More about booking a training!

I am passionate about educating mental health professionals about trauma-informed therapy and the positive impact it can have on clients. This way of working sheds light on seemingly intractable cases and stuck symptoms.

I teach and consult on the following subjects and themes:

Understanding Difficult Symptoms and Implementing Cohesive Treatment Plans and Effective Interventions:

For Clients Who Struggle With:

• Anxiety and/or Panic Attacks
• Relationship/Intimacy Problems
• Chronic Stress or Life Chaos
• Overwhelming Emotions
• Unresolved Grief
• Painful Indecision/Self-Doubt
• Emotional Numbness
• Addiction
• Low Self-Esteem
• Disassociation
• Loneliness/Isolation

Understanding the Impact of Trauma and Neglect

For Clients Who Have Experienced:

• Attachment Failure / Insecure Attachment
• Intense History of Neglect and/or Abuse
• Divorce and Family Separation
• Traumatic Loss
• Medical Trauma
• Sexual Assault
• Domestic Violence
• Criminal or Community Violence
• Displacement
• Exposure to War and/or Natural Disaster

Trainings, workshops and presentations can vary in length. Usually, a training or presentation that is between one and a half to three hours long can be effective, depending on the topic.

Contact me to book a training, a talk, or a consultation for your particular group. I would be happy to discuss your group’s goals/needs.
