The EMDR Maven
EMDR Therapy is a complex but powerful form of psychotherapy, and EMDR therapists need input from other experts in the approach to keep learning. The EMDR Maven podcast provides an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and gain expertise from others with strong passion, knowledge and experience in EMDR therapy. Julie Miller, MC, LPC, LIAC, has this knowledge and passion, and communicates in a clear and articulate manner as do the guests invited to share their own expertise in the field of EMDR therapy. Julie is an EMDRIA Approved Basic and Advanced Trainer, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and Certified EMDR Therapist. She has trained hundreds if not thousands of therapists in EMDR therapy across the US and internationally. She also trains clinicians in advanced topics, such as EMDR & addiction, first responders, and complex trauma.
