EMDRIA Approved Consultant™
Trauma Model Therapy Consultant
Hey there, I’m AshleyDawn, co-founder of Get Out Of Your Head Therapy and Get Into Your Head Training. With over a decade of experience as a clinician, I’ve built my supervisory philosophy on the belief that candidness and real-world insight are just as valuable as theory. I offer unique insight into your development, drawn from all of the professional mistakes I’ve made over the years and, more importantly, the hard-won lessons learned from those challenges.
Specialty in Complex Trauma and Practice Building
My greatest professional fulfillment comes from empowering other clinicians to feel confident and competent, particularly when facing the most complex cases.
Complex Trauma Mastery: As the Director of Education for the Trauma Model Therapy, I offer targeted consultation to practitioners eager to become proficient in working with complex trauma, specifically clients who present with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
EMDR Consultation: I am a certified EMDR Consultant and love helping clinicians steadily strengthen their EMDR skills and work toward certification at a pace that is sustainable for their time and budget.
Focus Areas for Your Growth
I welcome professionals at all stages of their journey and specialize in providing guidance for areas that often cause the most stress:
Ethical and Complex Dilemmas: Meeting with professionals who are struggling with nuanced ethical dilemmas or managing complex, challenging cases.
Private Practice Navigation: Supporting private practice professionals as they navigate the myriad of stressors involved in owning a business, or those contemplating the transition into private practice.
A Diverse and Integrative Background
My clinical experience spans a broad range of settings and populations, giving me a wide lens through which to view your cases:
Settings: Non-profits, a domestic violence shelter, an advocacy center, correctional facilities, community mental health/EMCOT, public schools, and private practice.
Populations: Children, teens, adults, families, and couples.
My supervision will be highly integrative, drawing from my formal training in models like EMDR, Trauma Model Therapy (TMT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), as well as a diverse selection of theories I utilize most often:
Systemic & Relational: Bowenian Transgenerational Systems Theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Humanistic & Post-Modern: Person-Centered Therapy, Collaborative Language Systems, Narrative Therapy, and Existential Therapy.
Action-Oriented: Choice Theory/Reality Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
