Navigating PTSD Recovery: Positive Results for Online EMDR Therapy During COVID-19 | |
Since the start of COVID-19, lots of us have wondered how effective online therapy, especially EMDR, would be compared to in-person. This article is specific to online therapy versus in-person for those suffering with PTSD, and as I would have predicted, the results are positive. | |

Brief Motivational Interviewing and Normative Feedback for
Adolescents | |
| | |
|
Check out this study with 48 teens! We're looking at how talking about change and getting feedback affects their drinking and weed habits. Turns out, when teens get both motivational chatting (MI) and feedback, they drink less.
Want to know more? Dive into the findings and see how understanding teen talk could help shape better ways to guide them.

"The trainer, Larisa Traga, was excellent. She presents material in a clear, concise manner that helps make the heavy material more approachable.

HOW OUR EMDR BASIC TRAINING DIFFERS | |
|
|
EMPOWER Training, Consulting and Therapy Inc. guides and teaches you how to create a sense of safety with you so that the real work can be done. Our current national and international pandemic and all that accompanies these uncertain times, requires skills and tools that clients can take home with them and expand their window of tolerance by utilizing what you will be able to teach them. In addition, we teach you how to keep your patients contained to a recent, present, future OR a past trigger, hence meeting them where they are willing and ready to go. There are a lot of EMDR Basic Trainings out there and not all of them include the 10 hours of consultation required to complete the course in the price of one! Do your research and reach out with any questions you might have before signing up for a training! Looking forward to seeing you there! | |
|
|
EMDR Certification Consultations are available in semi-private 1-hour sessions via phone or face-to-face, group or individual.
Slots available!
