Sarah Jenkins, MC, LPC, CPsychol is an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Trainer, Consultant, and the creator of EquiLateral™ The Equine-Assisted EMDR Protocol. Sarah is credentialed as a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) by the British Psychological Society, provides consultation and training within and outside of the US, and is the DBR Therapy Consultant-In-Training for the US. 

A trauma and dissociation specialist, EMDR therapist for over twenty+ years, and lifelong horsewoman, I created EquiLateral™ the first EMDRIA Approved protocol for integrating EMDR and Equine-Assisted Therapy to become Equine-Assisted EMDR (EA-EMDR). Based on the success of this EA-EMDR protocol I offer EMDRIA-approved workshops and an EMDRIA Approved best practice training EquiLateral™: The Equine-Assisted EMDR Course for EMDR Therapists & Equine Professionals.

In addition, through my experience in both EMDR and Equine Assisted Therapy, I offer support for those EMDR therapists seeking to expand their skills in utilizing strategies from the perspective of animal-assisted EMDR Therapy and DBR  approaches, especially in their work with complex clients, as well as the utilization of animal-assisted interactions in EMDR Therapy and DBR therapy, to address attachment shock.

Providing ongoing consultation for those seeking to increase their confidence in utilizing EMDR therapy with complex cases, my expertise also includes teaching the application of structural dissociation theory in the treatment of dissociation, My EMDRIA Approved EMDR Basic Training also provides attendees with additional curriculum on dissociation and the treatment of complex trauma.

A highly sought-after public speaker, I have conducted numerous workshops, presentations, and seminars for a variety of corporations and federally funded organizations, as well as spoken about EMDR Therapy, Equine-Assisted EMDR (EA-EMDR) at numerous national and international conferences, including EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), EMDR Canada, and EMDR Europe.
