EMDR With Fidelity, Creativity, and Connection
EMDR is more than a sequence of steps. The way we teach it honors the Adaptive Information Processing model while making space for development, relationship, nervous system awareness, play, and expressive approaches.
Our trainings are designed to help clinicians understand the model deeply enough to practice with fidelity while developing the confidence and flexibility to meet the person in front of them.
Where would you like to begin?
Every path here leads back to the same place. A child who feels safe enough to play.

I'm Jackie Flynn, EdS, LMHC-S, RPT-S™, an EMDR trainer, consultant, and trauma therapist.
I help clinicians develop the confidence to use EMDR in ways that are faithful to the model while also responsive to the unique needs of children, teens, adults, and families.
My teaching is experiential, relational, and grounded in the belief that learning EMDR should give you more than a protocol to follow. It should help you understand the work deeply enough to bring your own clinical presence into it.
Hi, I'm Jackie
