Join Melissa for this 4 hour workshop January 24th from 8:30a-12:30pCST. Approved for 4 CE's through NBCC and just $95 dollars. Attend live to receive CE's or you can also watch the recording afterwards if you can't make it live and don't need the CE's.

This workshop introduces clinicians to the use of nature-based resources during Phase 2 of EMDR therapy, focusing on fostering a secure attachment to the natural world. Participants will explore how the four elements—earth, water, fire, and air—can be integrated into therapeutic practice to provide grounding, safety, and connection for clients. The workshop includes practical exercises to install these resources in the body and scripts to support their use in client sessions. By the end, clinicians will gain tools to enhance their EMDR Phase 2 work through nature’s healing potential.

For those of you who have completed SIP I, I’m thrilled to invite you to the SIP Integration Group - a 9 month consultation group focused specifically on the digestion and application of what you learned in the 3 day SIP training.
We have gotten a lot of feedback that more opportunity for slow integration of material is needed to really bring the power of SIP into your practice. This group will focus on building your confidence with the process of applying the concepts and applying the concepts to your cases. We have been working hard to make tools for you such as a SIP Progress Note template, History Taking Worksheets, handouts you can use in session with your clients for psychoeduction, and more. For those of you that took SIP a while ago you will get the updates that have been added recently.
SIP is best integrated through discussion so we will do exactly that. This will be an hour-long lunch time conversation once a month for 9 months to aide in the digestive and integrative process through community, repeat exposure, and a chance to get questions answered. We will also spend time on specific case consultation so you can have help with your clients from an SIP perspective.
When dreaming of this offering I wanted to make sure that it was easy to access and highly practical! The calls will be recorded so you can listen in if you have to miss one or re-listen if you want to.
SIP is a powerful tool, but I don’t want you to feel alone in implementing it into real life!
Join me for the next nine months as we sink deeper into SIP as it’s meant to be experienced…in community with others.

What if we told you EMDR doesn’t just process trauma—it transforms how your brain works?

Trauma isn’t about “broken” neural networks; it’s about disrupted communication between the Default Mode Network (DMN), Central Executive Network (CEN), and Salience Network (SN). These systems need to work in harmony for memories to move from fragmented chaos to adaptive clarity—and that’s exactly what EMDR helps restore.

Through bilateral stimulation and carefully structured phases, EMDR creates conditions for memory reconsolidation. Dr. D. Eric Chamberlin’s Network Balance Model of Trauma and Resolution brilliantly explains how this balance happens at the network level, giving us a neuroscience-backed roadmap for how EMDR achieves lasting transformation.
