  • "I always walk away feeling more equipped to handle complex trauma cases and more connected to the work of therapy."

    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.

  • "[Jessica's] insights and encouragement have been instrumental to my success as an EMDR clinician."

    I consider myself extremely lucky to have experienced EMDR Basic Training with Jessica Downs in 2021 and have been regularly consulting with her since. Jessica is not only a master of ego states therapy and EMDR, but she is an incredibly warm and supportive teacher and mentor. She is gifted at clarifying complex cases and building confidence in her consultees to see their own skills. Her insights and encouragement have been instrumental to my success as an EMDR clinician.

  • "Jessica has a knack for teaching things that 'can't be taught.'"

    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. 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’ve felt genuinely seen and skillfully guided."

    What stands out about working with Jessica is her ability to make complex material feel approachable, grounded, and immediately useful. Her calm confidence and deep clinical wisdom create a space that feels both supportive and relationally engaging. In both consultation and in training, I’ve felt genuinely seen and skillfully guided—her attunement to both client dynamics and therapist development has had a lasting impact on my work.
