[humanser] Providing EMDR as a therapeutic modality

Sat Feb 20 22:45:42 UTC 2016

Hi,

Thank you so much for contacting on my behalf. I emailed the Institute, but never heard back.
I would've been surprised if there had not been others trained, so I'm glad to hear this.
From the research I have done andthose I have talk to here in Colorado, this training does fit the protocol.

Thank you again!

Beth
