Our belief about trauma - Our core values - What to expect from a consultation
OUR BELIEF ABOUT TRAUMA
It is our belief when chronic, developmental trauma starts early on, by age five the child is already well on their way to a "locked-in" negative spiral. By working with children as young as five, it is possible to identify the pattern and enable the child to recapture their behavior toward similar critical events in their future. Early treatment is the best opportunity for life change. We know that when untreated, the trigger pattern will continue to send the child into a spiral of anxiety and despair.
Increasingly, for the majority of situations where psychotherapy would be a productive treatment modality, our referral partners have consistently told us that what they care most about when making referrals f is that it is imperative that clinicians can provide EMDR-Therapy.
We have used EMDR therapy in over 80% of our clinical work. I personally have found it exceptional at the job of "opening the window of tolerance in clients whose behavior has been hijacked by abuse, fear, anxiety, and trauma of many kinds" (thank you for this quote from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk).
We use the EMDR 8-Phase AIP model to iteratively tune-in, desensitize, reprocess, and positively install new client behaviors. This work makes our practice a truly thrilling life long healing experience. We would like you to join us in your client facing healing journey by taking our course. Use the consultation to work with us to hone your EMDR-Therapy skills.
OUR CORE VALUES
About Sharon's core values. Based on years of clinical practice, I believe that clients heal more readily with EMDR-Therapy than with any other form of psychotherapy. Turning Point Education provides psychotherapists with continuing education in this important therapy technique. We specialize in EMDR therapy training that combines drawing and story telling in a unique, easy to use and apply 8-phase process, with the 2-Square scripted protocol that "just works". We have found that integrating drawing and story telling with EMDR offers the client substantially more personal expression, and achieves more impact, than any one of these techniques alone. "2-Square" simply makes EMDR easier to learn and use with children and adolescents.
Over a period of more than four decades, I developed a thriving private practice located in Hopkinton, MA. I focused on providing EMDR-Therapy to all demographics, but found the focus on children and adolescents to be the most significant population for me to work with.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A CONSULTATION
Established in 1978, Turning Point Counseling Services functioned as a community mental health organization that made the delivery of quality psychotherapy for children and their families the only purpose. We believe children play a critical role as a "spark-plug" in the health, diversity, and well-being of their families. Our work in healing children and their primary care-takers was our way to bring families and school communities together as emotionally healthy units. When we did this, we helped them cooperatively solve problems day to day as a team, and they built a brighter future for themselves and their peers.
When you choose a core focus on children and families, and use this proven 2-Square EMDR Therapy, you will get sustainable improvements with clients in your community. As a result, you can build even stronger relationships with local schools and medical practices in your area.
We continue to operate Turning Point Counseling Services as a remote counseling service. We are proud to share our experience today, by delivering this course and making these one-on-one consultations available through Turning Point Education. We look forward to a continuing role in offering practical, ready to implement EMDR-Therapy training on a world-wide basis. We are committed to using the most advanced EMDR methods, cloud based video, file access, learning platform technologies, teaching methods, and course delivery techniques.
Use your consultation with Sharon to tap into her years of practical experience not only in EMDR-Therapy but also in how to use this important methodology to boost your practice.
