MY NAME IS ANITA MEYER
I'm an EMDRIA Approved Consultant
Â
I’m also a Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker (LICSW) with over 30 years of clinical experience. I first heard about EMDR when I was in graduate school in the early '90s. I rolled my eyes and openly mocked it.Â
I had no idea that years later, I would be sitting in a therapist's office in desperate need of it.
EMDR was totally life-changing for me. This might sound strange, but it was so powerful that I didn't want to learn more about it. I thought that if I "peeked behind the curtain," the magic would disappear.
Eventually, I got tired of referring all my clients to EMDR therapists. So, I began my EMDR journey. Now, my practice is almost exclusively EMDR clients and I have the great privilege of teaching therapists how to master this life-changing therapy of EMDR.
