When you're ready to begin trauma healing, the thought of working with a clinician newer to EMDR can raise valid questions: Will they understand my experience? Will EMDR be safe for me? What if my trauma is too complex?
At our Long Island-based EMDR therapy practice, we've built a system that not only acknowledges these concerns—but resolves them with care, structure, and deep clinical oversight.
Here’s how we do things differently:
✅ Clinicians Trained Through EMDRIA—the Gold Standard
All our therapists receive EMDR training through EMDRIA, the official credentialing body for EMDR therapy. EMDRIA’s standards are internationally recognized and require intensive coursework plus ongoing consultation with an EMDR-certified supervisor. This stands in stark contrast to other options like PESI or brief certification courses, which may offer quick CEU credits but lack supervision, case review, and skill development support.
At our practice, EMDR isn’t a checkbox—it’s a deeply supported, continually monitored modality.
✅ Clinical Safety Comes First
Every clinician learning EMDR works under the close guidance of our founder, Jamie Vollmoeller, an EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training. Newer clinicians meet weekly for supervision and do not begin EMDR trauma processing until Jamie has reviewed the case and confirmed client readiness.
✅ Complex Trauma? You’re Never Alone
For clients with layered or complex trauma histories, therapists have real-time access to expert consultation and are trained in additional nervous system regulation techniques like Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to ensure safety and effectiveness.
✅ You’re Not a Training Case
Our clinicians are not interns. They are licensed or provisionally licensed professionals committed to excellence. Supervision enhances their clinical depth—it doesn’t substitute for it. Your healing journey is treated with the highest level of professionalism and care.
✅ Seamless Continuity of Care
You’ll work with your clinician throughout your journey. Supervision means your therapist has a team behind them—not that you'll be passed from one provider to another.
✅ Growth Backed by Community
Once past the initial 6-month EMDR onboarding, clinicians continue to receive bi-weekly supervision and monthly EMDR group consultation. That means every EMDR therapist here is continually refining their skill—and your care benefits from that evolution.
✅ EMDR Intensives Available
For those seeking deeper healing, we also offer EMDR intensive sessions—with the same trauma-informed, regulated, and supervised support.
If you're looking for safe, expertly guided EMDR therapy in Long Island, our team is ready to walk with you—no matter where you are in your healing.
