TRAINEE TESTIMONIALS
At IRIS, the best measure of our trainings isn’t what we say — it’s how they’ve impacted the clinicians we serve. Here’s what therapists are sharing about their experience with us.
"Really well done with a balance of education and demonstrations. Content was rich and really full."
- EMDR TRAINING FOR ADDICTIONS TESTIMONIAL
"Jessica has a knack for teaching things that "can't be taught." Her ability to break down concepts, maintain a curious and compassionate mindset, and hold space for each clinician's therapeutic process makes her offerings invaluable. I not only learned a lot about EMDR and Ego States therapy; I also learned a lot about myself, my natural skills, abilities, and intuition. By looking beyond content and into process, I was able to tap into my skills more fully in a way I never had before. I appreciate her ability to hold space for me, and I now believe that holding space for the therapist doing the work of helping other humans heal is essential to effective training and consultation. Jessica does this better than anyone I know. I cannot recommend her enough.”
- EMDR AND EGO STATES TESTIMONIAL
"What an incredible training! I have so many resources and tools to use with my clients right away. I learned so, so much."
- EMDR THERAPY FOR ADDICTIONS TESTIMONIAL
"Cassie was amazing. EMDR and Addictions is one of the best online trainings I have ever taken."
"Training with Jessica has been such a grounding and enriching experience- one of the best in my professional development so far. She brings a masterful, connected and approachable presence to complex topics like EMDR and Ego State work, making them both accessible and clinically useful. In consultation and in training, I’ve felt truly supported—her insight, clarity, and attunement have helped me grow as a therapist in tangible ways. I always walk away feeling more equipped to handle complex trauma cases and more connected to the work of therapy."
- EMDR AND EGO STATES TESTIMONIAL
"This was so helpful to my practice, and Erika is so kind and knowledgeable. I liked the format, and I felt really validated in slowing things down in the therapy session. Sometimes I second guess myself and question going slowly and checking in with the client often, but this training was so affirming to the practice of meeting clients where they are, and for EMDR to be a more fluid, non-linear process."
- EMDR AND GENERATIONAL TRAUMA TESTIMONIAL
"Jessica is real---deeply attuned to issues of race and class and aware of how that influences trauma recovery. I'm inspired by her commitment to her ongoing healing and her openness to being challenged. She can hold complexity in clinical cases, understanding how her expertise can helpfully intervene without offering blanket solutions. I'm most impressed by her incorporation of ego state work into the EMDR reprocessing phase. Working in this way with my own clients has helped me make EMDR accessible to more people and see progress in more complex cases."
- EMDR AND EGO STATES TESTIMONIAL
"Both presenters were very knowledgeable! Refresh and Reset Your EMDR Practice was well paced and well organized."
"Jessica and Melissa, you made a heavy day of learning flow by. You kept me engaged and I could make connections back to basic training in my mind and weave a stronger container for my EMDR practice. It shows that EMDR is your therapeutic home and that you truly care to get clinicians back into it with a sense of confidence and enthusiasm. You provided a grounded presence and a solid base of information, clearly organized in the slides and visuals. The videos were very helpful... I feel your hands on my shoulders as I step back in to EMDR practice. Well done both of you. With much appreciation."
- REFRESH AND RESET YOUR EMDR PRACTICE TESTIMONIAL
"Loved the training! Many different skills were taught, it was put into the AIP framework well, there was good context for why to do certain interventions and it was well organized... Cassie, you're so smart and have done so much work in this field and it's clear you know what you're talking about. thank you for sharing your knowledge!”
- EMDR THERAPY FOR ADDICTIONS TESTIMONIAL
"This was an excellent training! I found the content informative and plan to apply the strategies and techniques presented within my counseling practice. The material on case conceptualization—particularly the integration of Ego States, Apparently Normal Parts (ANP), and Emotional Parts (EP)—was especially beneficial. These concepts will greatly support and enhance my clinical work moving forward."
