Training for Those Called to Give, Who Deserve Support Too.
Practical, evidence-informed training in navigating burnout, complex trauma, and EMDR Therapy, for helping professionals.
Holding space for people who face adversity is no easy task.
Therapists and other helping professionals often share the calling to help others on their path towards healing. Many helping professionals and caregivers receive little training or support in understanding trauma, how unhealed experiences linger, or how to take care of themselves while also caring for others.
My trainings are intended to help bridge that gap. I provide practical, evidence-informed information designed to enhance your growing toolbox as a caregiver.

My name is Anthony Johnston (he/they) and I’m a licensed clinical social worker and EMDRIA Consultant-In-Training based in Ithaca, NY.
I specialize in providing affirming care for queer clients, as well as in treating complex trauma and dissociation. I created these trainings so fellow therapists have the skills and stamina to keep doing this important work.
