CONSULTING TESTIMONIALS

Patricia Alvarado, MA

Larisa is so knowledgeable in EMDR and such a great person to work with. She is able to really prompt you when you are unsure about how to handle a case or situation and has innovative ideas on how to work with different clients. Throughout our supervision sessions, she was able to connect me to other consultants that had expert knowledge on various subjects and recommended several books that would help enhance my knowledge and expertise of EMDR. She has been so valuable to my training and experience thus far in using EMDR. Thank you Larisa!

Keiko Sano

I really appreciate your consultation every time, and I have been witnessing positive shifts when I apply your feedback to the sessions with my clients. In addition to your knowledge, skills, intuition, empathy, and understanding of my clients' unique challenges, I particularly appreciate your offering me a safe atmosphere where I can be fully open and honest with you in discussing my challenges. Without that, I do not think the consultations would be as effective as I have been experiencing with you. The sense of safety that you create has been also helping me learn more about my unaware biases and transference, which can influence EMDR, counseling work, and my personal/professional development. Thank you Larisa.

Working with Larisa has been joyful and transformational. Larisa was the coach at my first EMDR training, consultant throughout my certification as EMDR Certified Therapist and finally the consultant with whom I am getting my wings as an EMDR Consultant.
​
Larisa’s consultation style is strength based and affirming. She respects experience and differences in training background. She is consistently caring and has indefatigable good humor. She holds herself to a high quality standard and passes that on to her consultees in a gentle manner. Her knowledge and practice of EMDR is rigorous and at the same time flexible to inputs from other traditions such as somatic experiencing and Neurolinguistic Programming. You will be lucky to have her as your consultant.

Larisa helped me tremendously on my journey towards EMDR certification. Her knowledge of EMDR, teaching style, and clinical skills are very impressive! After attending her Basic EMDR training and participating in her group consultations, I knew she was the person I wanted to receive individual consultation with while obtaining my certification hours.

Chandra Tracy, LMFT

Larisa is an incredible support for therapists practicing EMDR. After participating in her group
consultations, I chose to have her as my individual consultant through the entire process of becoming
officially trained and then moving through certification. She is so affluent in EMDR that it makes it easy
to understand the nuances of how to get the most out of it. She has tremendous insight and
understanding of this field; in working with her, I felt completely seen and held in my own practice,
which flows over to my clients. This process has been invaluable to my work. Many thanks!​

Mara Fuller, LCSW

Larisa provided me EMDR consultation as I completed my training hours and my EMDR certification consultation hours.  Larisa’s calm approach and ability to share her practice knowledge allowed me to learn how to implement EMDR in my practice and helped me feel confident in that implementation.  Larisa was flexible in scheduling consultation hours, as there is a three hour time difference between us.  She was always willing to provide suggestions and advice for cases I staffed, and of equal importance, she also challenged me to identify solutions and treatment options for the cases I presented.  My consultation time with Larisa not only provided me the opportunity to learn and improve my EMDR skills, but also provided me the opportunity to become a better clinician overall. ​​

Dr. Gottheil

​I am texting to thank you for the consultations that we have been having. I have noticed my practice of MDR has improved noticeably, and more importantly I’m able to help my clients much more efficiently. Thank you, Larisa. You’re a great supervisor.

Jesse Kastelic

Thank you very much for such a worthwhile consultation.  I received so much valuable insights and techniques that I can use tomorrow with my client. Thank you.

Dr. Gottheil

Your supervision time is exceptional Larisa.
