EMDR Consultation and Complex Trauma Training for Therapists
Training for therapists who keep meeting the edge of what they know. You're a good clinician. And there's a category of client where you can feel yourself guessing. This is training for that gap - practical, case-based, and free of the pretense that everyone already knows this.
The Gap in Most Trauma Training
You're not the only one who feels underprepared for these clients. Graduate programs teach trauma in a chapter. Then a client presents with dissociation, or a history that goes back further than anyone documented, and you're improvising in real time with someone's well-being in your hands.
Most clinicians won't say that out loud. It's close to universal.
Three Trauma Training Tracks
Take one, or build a sequence. Delivered in person in Austin or online.
EMDR Consultation
Consultation hours toward EMDRIA certification, with a consultant who works with complex cases daily.
- Individual and group consultation
- Hours count toward EMDRIA certification
- Case-based, not curriculum-based
- In person in Austin or online
Complex Trauma & Dissociation
The training most clinicians wish they'd had before their first complex case walked in.
- Recognizing dissociation you're currently missing
- Structural dissociation, made usable
- Pacing and stabilization that actually holds
- When not to process, and why
Sexual Trauma & PTSD
Treating sexual trauma with skill and steadiness, including the parts clinicians avoid.
- Assessment without re-traumatizing
- Shame, self-blame, and the body
- Working with disclosure and its aftermath
- Managing your own reactions in the room

- Leads a team of trauma-specialist clinicians across two locations
Is This Training Right for You?
“I already have trauma training.”
Good, that's the right foundation. This is the layer above it: the presentations that don't respond to standard protocol, and the clients other therapists refer out.
“Dissociation isn't my niche.”
It's probably already in your caseload. Mild and moderate dissociation is common and routinely missed, which is exactly why treatment stalls without anyone knowing why.
“I'm too busy for more training.”
Understood. Consultation groups run in scheduled blocks, and one clear framework for a stuck case usually pays back the hours quickly.
“Will it make me more effective?”
Come to one session and judge. We'd rather you evaluate the material than take our word for it.
Clinical Training: Common Questions
Yes. Traci is an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, so individual and group consultation hours with her count toward EMDRIA certification requirements.
CE availability varies by training and by licensing board. Ask when you inquire and we'll tell you exactly what a given session carries. We won't imply credit that isn't there.
Both. Consultation groups run well online. Skills-heavy workshops are usually better in person in Austin. We'll recommend based on the content.
Yes, and it's one of our favorite formats. In-house training for a team means everyone shares a framework afterward, which is where practice culture actually changes. Get in touch with your team size and goals.
Usually yes, depending on the training. Some material assumes clinical experience, so tell us where you are and we'll steer you to the right starting point.
