Clinical-fit review first. Submission does not establish a therapist-client relationship, guarantee acceptance, reserve an appointment, or confirm clinical appropriateness.

You do not have to tell the story.

With the Flash Technique, you privately identify the target. Jillian does not require narration, summarization, description, explanation, or disclosure of the event. Your conscious attention remains with a Positive Engaging Focus while Jillian guides the process. Between sets, she asks what changed—not what happened.

In Jillian’s clinical work, she has seen specific trauma targets move from highly distressing to neutral in less than five minutes. This target-specific, practice-based observation is not a promise for every person, a universal timeline, or proof that the whole treatment plan is complete. Assessment, preparation, consent, pacing, and treatment needs remain individual. Read the Complete Flash Guide

Choose where to begin.

Two distinct purposes.

Flash & EMDR Intensives3-hour, 5-hour & multi-day · California telehealth

One psychotherapy pathway, with Flash-Focused Intensive and EMDR 2.0 Intensive as two possible starting approaches. Help Me Decide is a guidance preference—not a third treatment. All selections share the same Intensive Application, clinical-fit process, and package terms. The treatment plan stays adaptable.

Formats are 3 hours, 5 hours, or three 5-hour days. The reserved duration—not the starting preference—determines the fee. Every package includes preparation, target mapping, clinically appropriate breaks, reprocessing and integration, plus one 45-minute post-intensive follow-up. If more clinical work is appropriate after that follow-up, the next practice option is another agreed intensive—not standalone individual, couples, or weekly psychotherapy.

The Intensive Application is required before a fit call is considered. Jillian reviews each application and may invite selected applicants to a no-cost 15-minute initial fit call. Jillian and the applicant agree on the format after clinical-fit review; she coordinates scheduling directly. Neither an application nor a call reserves an appointment.

Focused EMDR Case Consultation$225 per 60 minutes · Online · Non-credit-bearing

Advanced clinical reflection and case reasoning for appropriately EMDR-trained clinicians: AIP-informed conceptualization, preparation, pacing, target sequencing, and complex clinical decisions. $225 per 60-minute online session.

Licensed clinicians and registered associates with their supervisor’s awareness may inquire after completing appropriate EMDR basic training. Jillian reviews the clinician’s role, training, question, and scope; acceptance is not guaranteed. A written consultation agreement is required.

Privately paid and non-credit-bearing. This is not psychotherapy, supervision, basic training, or credentialing-hour consultation. Keep the initial question non-identifying; do not send client records or recordings through an ordinary inquiry form.
