Hello. I am a clinical mental health counselor in training. I will be starting my internship this fall. My focus will be on working as a trauma therapist for underserved communities. I am creating this fundraiser to help me afford training in one of the most efficient trauma modalities: EMDR. Many people have suffered and survived from trauma; be it TRAUMA or trauma. While many people recover, many also continue to suffer. These experiences have strong correlations with other chronic mental and physical health issues. This is a modality that supports healing from those experiences without having to discuss them in-depth. This is community fundraising and to that end I plan to pay it forward. With the attainment of my full license, I will maintain a small pro-bono caseload. Support me that I might better support those in need.
