Barb taught us skills that directly related to the issues at hand. She’s very good at assessing each person’s ability & readiness for growth and gave appropriate resources and ideas for effective approaches. She fosters confidence in the participants and has a great sense of humor.

After completing my EMDR training, I was excited about the possibilities of using EMDR for helping clients. But I was uncertain about how to fully integrate EMDR into my practice as a transpersonal psychotherapist, and I was having difficulty developing a smooth rhythm with the 8-stage protocol. When I learned that Barb Maiberger was offering consultation groups, I joined to get support and feedback. Barb’s group has been enormously helpful – I have gained confidence and skill in using EMDR in my practice. She has also offered great suggestions for specific client issues. Because Barb has deep training in somatic and body-centered psychotherapy, she can offer a range of suggestions and interventions that are based in the physiology of the nervous system. These somatic-based skills help clients ground and develop better self-regulation. I believe they also help clients integrate the work at a deeper level. Barb creates a warm, collegial space for therapists not only to share our questions, but also to offer our own insight, experiences, and wisdom with each other regarding the cases and topics we discuss. I always learn a lot from each consultation group session.

What I find so helpful in consultation with Barb is not only her ability see to areas of improvement with the EMDR technique, but also hone in on the dynamics of the therapeutic relationship that is limiting the effectiveness of the EMDR protocol, and does so in a very supportive and positive way.

Barb Maiberger has been my EMDR consultant going on about 3 years now. When I began working with her, I was newly trained. She helped to guide me during difficult cases and helped to give me the confidence I needed to become a better therapist. Barb is always able to answer the tough questions when it comes to EMDR, or any type of psychotherapy for that matter. Barb is truly an expert in this field and I feel lucky to have her as my mentor. My practice as grown so much since working with her, and I continue to learn new things every time we meet.
