"The usefulness of the training, supervision and consultation that I received from Andrew was immeasurably helpful in my work with clients. Andrew shared his wealth of knowledge in a way that made it applicable to my every day practice. His gentle, supportive manner allowed me to take risks to better myself as a therapist."

Julia Baker Wallace, LCSW-R

"Training and consultation with Andrew is a rare experience that I wish I had more of in my own professional development. He works hard to craft a training environment where every participant's contribution is valued and where trainees can take risks to stretch themselves in ways that are professionally exciting, personally rewarding and ultimately of great use to the clients we hope to serve."

Group Teleconferences

You are sooo good at what you do and I am finding these teleconferences to be most helpful in gaining knowledge to integrate with my professional skills. I liked that you gave detailed step by step information on how to proceed to help our clients. Thank you again. , NY.

I have always been impressed with the exceptional quality of Andrew’s consultation and supervision. Every piece of information he shares has obviously been so clearly thought out, researched, and critically analyzed that it can be used with great confidence. His deep mindfulness, humor, and understanding make working with him both rich and comfortable.

[Andrew is] amazingly skilled and tremendously intuitive. This doesn't mean much, I realize, without concrete information. So I will try to describe my experience. Let's say I bring a question, issue, or source of confusion. First, he listens exquisitely. Secondly, he is very intuitive AND very experienced. The result, for me, has been that he understands the question/issue very quickly and has a pool of experiences into which he dips to connect with what I am trying to get at and then a bag of skills and alternative approaches from which he pulls suggestions His ability to do this without ego games, condescension, judgmental attitude has allowed a hypersensitive soul like me to be willing to be vulnerable to his critique and open to his suggestions (another way of saying that I am able to learn from him). I am very grateful to have him in my professional life.

Andrew is able to enter into others' in a skillful way--whether the feelings be those of the therapist or of their clients. If therapists have their own obstacles that interfere with treatment delivery, he is adept at helping them work through these. In advising therapists about clients, he provides a total treatment strategy, so that even those clients not ready for the full EMDR protocol can be helped by various other strategies. He gets to the core of everyone's issues quickly, deftly and compassionately. He provides great consultation/supervision!

'Parts'/Ego State Work in EMDR Practice


"I am impressed by Andrew's wealth of knowledge and expertise regarding ego state therapy and eating disorders. When I saw him present this workshop, I was struck by his sensitivity to his clients and to his audience; their questions and concerns. His approach will expand your understanding of parts work and add creative interventions to your EMDR 'tool box'." 
Carol Forgash, LCSW, EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Co-Author: Healing the Heart of Trauma and Dissociation with EMDR and Ego State Therapy

 Andrew is the real deal as a trainer and a masterful clinician! When I signed up for my first training with Andrew (EMDR Basic Skills) I had no idea what a transformative experience it would be. I expected what I had experienced in trainings, workshops, and seminars over the years which was typically been someone who told all about the 'what' of the selected topic, which I could have achieved by reading a book. Andrew was the first person who actually taught the 'how', as in how to actually use the technique presented!! Over the 4 of 5 days of training I watched a clearly masterful clinician turn a concept into practice, and I was awed. I left that training not only with the knowledge and capacity to implement EMDR in my practice but also with a refreshed set of goals regarding all of my work as a clinician. My clients remarked on my energy and enthusiasm as well as my skills and technique which were nicely polished by Andrew. I now jump on any opportunity to learn from Andrew again and just completed another 2-day training that was the same remarkable experience. I look forward to the next opportunity and I thank Andrew for the work he puts into the delivery of such a wonderful experience of true learning.

EMDR Renewal Workshop


​"Andrew delivers in a way that few presenters do. Andrew's presentation was emotionally moving, yet offered a solid approach for actually doing the work. I came away feeling the process involved with treating complex trauma through his ability to instruct in a solidified way the developmental, affective, cognitive, structural and transferential issues involved. You will come away with confidence that you can implement successful treatment to address complex trauma."
