EMDR Therapy in La Quinta — Specialized for High‑Functioning Professionals, Military, First Responders, & Medical Staff

Beneath the Surface Therapy works with adults seeking to heal not only from trauma, but from the identity patterns it leaves behind. Jillian's EMDR training is through the EMDR Consulting model developed by Roy Kiessling, which she integrates with somatic, attachment‑focused, and psychodynamic approaches to help you release long‑held stories, restore self‑trust, and reclaim your capacity to live fully. Specialties:

• • High‑Functioning Professional Reset — For leaders, attorneys, and executives ready to dismantle perfectionism and redefine success from the inside out.
• • Medical, Military, & First Responder EMDR — For those in high‑stakes, high‑impact roles processing moral injury, cumulative loss, and identity erosion.
• • Unconscious Guide Release — For individuals carrying a deep sense of “not enough,” ready to rewrite the beliefs that have shaped their lives.

Not at this time. Beneath the Surface Therapy is in the process of joining select insurance panels. Beneath the Surface Therapy accepts private pay and can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance for possible out‑of‑network reimbursement.

For strictly private pay clients who are not seeking insurance reimbursement, no diagnosis is required. This allows us to work without insurance restrictions and maintain full confidentiality. If you plan to use a superbill for out‑of‑network reimbursement, most insurance carriers require a diagnosis code. Please check with your insurance provider first to confirm their requirements.
