About Sarah Jenkins
I am an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Trainer and Consultant, and the creator of EquiLateral® aka EquiLateral: The Equine Assisted EMDR Protocol® I am also credentialed as a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) by the British Psychological Society, and am licensed in Arizona, where my private practice is located. I provide consultation and training, both in and outside of the US, for those providing complex trauma and dissociation treatment, including via EMDR therapy, Structural Dissociation Theory, EA-EMDR, and DBR therapy. Endorsed by Dr. Frank Corrigan, the creator of DBR therapy, as a DBR Consultant, I also receive ongoing consultation on my DBR consulting services directly from him.
A trauma and dissociation specialist, EMDR therapist for over twenty+ years, and lifelong horsewoman, I created EquiLateral® 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.
