About Me
As an EMDRIA-approved consultant and trainer, Wendy Sue has been mentoring therapists in trauma treatment and dissociation for 10 years. Her teaching journey began in 2005 at San Jose State University, where she instructed senior psychology students in their capstone course. Since then, she has continued to pursue her love for teaching and training, actively participating as an EMDR consultant in basic trainings since 2014. Additionally, since 2021, Wendy Sue has been teaching certification program in trauma and adoption-competent mental health services offered to clinicians by the Oregon Department of Human Services in collaboration with the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.). Wendy Sue is a natural teacher, with the ability to make complex concepts concise, accessible and digestible. She imbues her work with devotion and warmth and brings her seasoned experience and sharp clinical intuition into each training and consultation she provides. A seasoned clinician helping individuals, adolescents and parents since 2003, expert in the field of EMDR therapy, child development, dissociation and perinatal mental health, Wendy Sue is committed to helping others find ways to connect with themselves and the community around them and feel equipped to cope with their internal and external world so that they can feel more connected, present, and grounded. Wendy Sue has been helping children and parents in both the private and public sector for over twenty years, working with a diverse array of parents at various critical points on their journey from postpartum through young adulthood. Her specialty in trauma crossed over with her expertise with infants and parents which led to her focus on treating Postpartum Anxiety and traumatic birth experiences. Wendy Sue helps parents individually and in groups, gain emotional fluency and tools for self regulation so that they can show up as the parent they know they would like to be. Wendy Sue brings a depth of experience into the training setting and the warmth and understanding she offers to each client is also offered to each clinician she teaches as they embark on their journey into EMDR therapy. Diversity, equity, inclusion and justice center all this, as Wendy Sue and Resource Counseling Center work hard to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment for any and all who commit to providing this healing work to our world.
