Comments from Centers Around the State
With EMDR the clinical team at Dallas Area Rape Crisis Center has significantly improved the clinical support we provide to sexual assault survivors and their loved ones. We are now able to help more survivors feel better more quickly and process through the trauma much more effectively.
The training that we received through Rick and his team was absolutely first rate! Rick and his team of expert consultants are committed to supporting those working in rape crisis centers. They understand the unique needs of clinicians working with sexual assault survivors and do their best to ensure that those needs are met.
I was a trauma therapist for 10 years before I trained in EMDR. In my work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, I grew frustrated with a long waiting list and limited time available for each client, given their complex trauma histories. EMDR absolutely changed the way I approached counseling with survivors. It not only gave me a deeper understanding of trauma, but also gave me a tool to use with clients that allowed substantial relief in a limited amount of time. I recommend EMDR training to all of the counselors that I train. It is more effective than any other model I have utilized with survivors of sexual and domestic violence. Rick and his team are top-notch. I have been to hundreds of trainings throughout my career and few have impacted my work as much as Rick and his team. I am a better therapist and a better supervisor because of his training.
EMDR is an integral part of our services here at the Rape Crisis Center of San Antonio. Without Rick Levinson I am not sure this would be the case. Rick approaches his work with a conviction that helps us readily realize the benefits of EMDR. He provides quality training and stands at the ready with follow-up and support. Rick believes in our movement and for several years now has found ways to support sexual assault programs throughout the state. Miriam Elizondo, our Executive Director and a counselor trained by Rick, has directly seen the impact of EMDR in our practice with not only our clients but with protecting clinicians from burnout. I look forward to experiencing the healing effect throughout Texas of his statewide EMDR handoff.
