"Amanda is a wonderful EMDR Consultant. She creates a supportive space for clinicians to develop and refine their EMDR therapy skills. During my time with her, I not only learned the application of each EMDR phase but also gained a deeper understanding of the why behind each phase. If you're looking to deepen your appreciation of the benefits of EMDR therapy, I highly recommend working with her." ~Danielle Miner, LPC
"I was able to participate in both individual and group consultation with Amanda during my EMDR training and certification process. I always found her guidance to be immensely valuable; she created a safe consultation space to ask vulnerable learning questions, as well as generously sharing resources, insights, and support. She offered creative and grounded approaches for incorporating the EMDR protocols into client sessions in effective and ethical ways. She was incredibly responsive, both in consultation interactions and over email. I felt both challenged and supported during my training journey with her, and would absolutely recommend her to any clinician seeking consultation hours." ~ Laura Crow, LISW
“I am tremendously grateful to have had the opportunity to receive consultation with Amanda. Her knowledge and skill level with both EMDR and IFS approaches are exceptional. She is also incredibly kind, empathetic and has a great sense of humor-she makes consultation fun.” ~ Erika Ellis, LISW
