Meet Jackie and Marshall

Jackie Flynn, EdS, LMHC‑S, RPT‑S™ | EMDRIA-Approved Trainer for this Training

As an EMDRIA Approved Trainer and Consultant, I’ve had the honor of training hundreds of therapists across the world in both Basic and Advanced EMDR. My work integrates Play Therapy, Sandtray, and nature based trauma healing, all grounded in a deep respect for the nervous system and the therapeutic relationship.

I teach with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to making EMDR feel both accessible and transformative, never mechanical or rigid. This training reflects that approach every step of the way.

Marshall Lyles, LPC‑S, LMFT‑S, RPT‑S™ | EMDRIA-Approved Consultant Support for this Training
