Therapy Tools and Systems Recommended by an EMDR Therapist
As an EMDR therapist in private practice for over 10 years, I've invested time and finances on testing different apps, platforms and systems that can help both clients of trauma therapy, as well as therapists in private practice.
I have personally tested all of these products myself before recommending them to ensure that they really work so you don't have to waste your own time or money doing your own research.
These devices and systems are designed to improve your emotional, mental and physical health, as well as help you manage as a therapist in private practice
While I do receive a very small commission for my recommendations (hey, a girl's gotta eat, right?!), I would recommend them regardless of if I receive commission or not.
Trust me, there are plenty of products I don't recommend, even though I would receive a commission from doing so, because building trust is the world of mental health and trauma informed healing is so important to me.
See what will work for you, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Simple Practice includes a secure client portal, HIPAA compliant Telehealth system, billing management and documentation.
It's perfect for solo practitioners or group practices who want to spend more time seeing clients and less time doing paperwork. The superbill automations and credit card on file features are my favorite!
