David C Manfield, Ph.D.

As an EMDRIA Approved Consultant for almost 20 years, I oversee and consult with clinicians seeking EMDR certification. As noted elsewhere on this site, I have been trained by Dr. Francine Shapiro, the originator of EMDR, and have been leading consultation and EMDR study groups for many years.  With permission, I’ve attached a few unsolicited notes of gratitude I’ve received from former consultees:

Allison Kato:   “Thank you for all of your help, your clinical insights have opened me up to such a broad array of new areas to explore and develop as a clinician. Thank you for contributing so much to my professional perspective and development.”

Lesley Arles:   “I deeply thank you for helping me understand the EMDR process better, and to provide better care for my clients.  It has been much more beneficial and important than I had thought it could be…”

Lemecia Lindsey:   “Thank you so much for your valuable mentoring and for sharing with us your expertise in EMDR.  I really appreciate your taking the time to train us…”

Laila Cusick:   “Your help and encouragement has been so valuable to me these past two years. I’m sure we’ll talk again many times as I continue to learn, but I do want to pause at this point and thank you.  This has been challenging and wonderful experience.  Thank you!”
