EMDR Training: Integrating EMDR into your Clinical Practice, 5-Day Intensive

Roy Kiessling, LISW

Roy Kiessling, LISW, is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with more than 20 years of clinical practice. He is the founder of EMDR Consulting and creator of our EMDRIA Approved EMDR Training Course: Integrating EMDR into your Clinical Practice. Roy was initially trained in EMDR in 1995 by The EMDR Institute (Level 1 by Kay Werk in Cincinnati, OH and Level 2 by Francine Shapiro in Chicago, IL). In 1997, he became an EMDR Institute facilitator and started helping conduct EMDR Institute trainings led by Francine Shapiro and her Senior Trainer staff. Since 1998, Roy has been an EMDRIA Approved Credit Provider and Consultant. He presented at the EMDRIA International Conference from 1999 through 2010 on topics involving basic EMDR procedures and protocols, resourcing interventions, and in 2010, he led a full day, pre-conference workshop on EMDR from a belief-focused perspective. Roy started working towards becoming an independent trainer with EMDRIA accreditation in 2013. In June of that same year, Roy’s own approach to the EMDR Basic Training was approved, and since then, he has remained an independent EMDRIA Approved Training Provider. With his focus on his own basic training course, Roy resigned as a senior trainer from both the EMDR Institute and EMDR HAP. Roy’s basic training approach incorporates his many years of experience in teaching EMDR and provides the most effective techniques and additional information to assist clinicians in seamlessly integrating the EMDR approach into their practices.
