I really enjoyed the EMDR training through The Morrissey Institute! Dr. Morrissey was knowledgeable, engaging, and presented the material in a clear and practical way. I learned new skills and now have a much stronger understanding of how EMDR can be used effectively in clinical settings. I highly recommend Dr. Morrissey and The Morrissey Institute to any clinician looking to grow their skills and confidence with EMDR.

Taking the EMDR basic training course with Dr Morrissey was an absolute pleasure. It’s refreshing learning from someone who is not only an expert in the field, but is also passionate about what they do. Sometimes that’s hard to find, but Dr Morrissey proved time and time again she’s in the field for the right reasons- for her clients and for educating other clinicians. She makes others better.

Amazing! Really enjoyed taking this training and feel like I found one of the best ones to take! One of my worries was to find a bad instructor and I am so BEYOND thankful I found Dr. Morrissey! She does an amazing job teaching and I feel like I know way more about EMDR than I even expected. She has a deep passion for it and it shows! Courtney Johnson
I can’t say enough good things about training with Dr. Morrissey! They made EMDR training not only incredibly informative but also genuinely enjoyable (yes, learning trauma therapy can be fun!). Their energy kept me engaged the entire time, and their ability to break down complex concepts made everything click. Tiffany Perrigo
EMDR Basic Training
This past July and September, I had the pleasure of taking EMDR Basic Training over two weekends with Mrs. Morrissey. Michelle is very passionate about life and helping people along on their journey. She is an excellent instructor and presents EMDR in a way that is informative, interesting, and engaging. She begins the training with a historical overview, the model, methods, and mechanisms of EMDR, and engages the participants in experiential exercises. Utilizing lectures, group practicum, and case consultations via video, she discusses the neurobiology, legal, ethical, and advanced methods of EMDR. I thoroughly enjoyed this training, and looked forward to weekly consultations with Michelle as I found her guidance invaluable and encouraging. I highly recommend training from Michelle, and if she were to offer advanced training in Montana, I will be attending. Cynthia V.
As a therapist, Michelle is non-judgmental, compassionate, and supportive. I’ve recommended multiple patients to her individually. Her EMDR skills are excellent. As a trainer, she has amazing energy, is thorough in her explanations, and when you are done you feel confident and supported in practicing EMDR. You can’t go wrong with The Morrissey Institute.

Advanced EMDR Classes
TBI Workshop Comments: The information and Dr. Morrissey were brilliant, informative, and extremely helpful to use in EMDR…This training exceeded expectations…I was extremely satisfied with this training….The training was extremely informative…. The material was densely packed and could easily be presented over several days…. I found myself wanting to rewind (even though it was live) to really let the concepts sink in….I am very grateful for this training and learned a lot. I couldn’t possibly do this (EMDR/TBI work) without the info learned in your course.
Thank you Dr Morrissey! What a fantastic course. I learned so much from you and have confidence. I am already working with one client and having tremendous success. It works! Barbara F.
This course offered the expert guidance I was looking for regarding Traumatic Brain Injuries / TBI’s. Professor Morrissey is warm and personable and is a first rate expert in this field. I would recommend this course to any clinician trying to expand their skill set in the service of others. Absolutely thrilled with the information gleaned from this course! B.E. Jan 4, 2025
Dr. Morrissey’s course on EMDR for TBI is excellent! I have taken hundreds of courses in 45 years as a licensed therapist, and I am very discriminating. Her teaching style, availability, and written backup provided all I need to feel confident using EMDR for my clients with a traumatic brain injury. It is not easy, and the quiz is challenging, which required me to focus deeply. That is as it should be when treating this vulnerable population. Gratefully, Dorothy Beerger, LPC Dec 24, 2024
Michelle is a wonderful instructor whose vast knowledge and straightforward teaching style allowed me to learn the tools I need for my work either clients. TBI EMDR is working very well for my clients with TBI as well as those who experience challenges from ADHD and being on the spectrum. Tami O’Meara Dec 22, 2024
Dr. Morrissey presents an essential professional, specific and practical training that is vital for anyone who is EMDR trained to enhance their practice of treating clients with Traumatic Brain Injury. Since EMDR for TBIs is different than basic EMDR certification or training it is crucial that screening for ALL clients be done regarding TBIs so harm is not done using the basic training. I have had great success with helping clients with TBIs regain occupational and cognitive functioning as a result of this training. This is changing my private practice in a positive way! Barbara Freie Dec 22, 2024
I completed the EMDR with TBIs course with The Morrissey Institute and I cannot say enough good things about it. Without the course I would have been lost in the world of traumatic brain injuries and EMDR as a treatment option. Furthermore, I have thoroughly enjoyed consultation with Dr. Morrissey to further strengthen my skills! Carrie Graham Dec 2024
EMDR Consultation
Consultations were equally amazing, Dr. Morrissey offered thoughtful, grounded insight and always made space for curiosity and growth. I left each call feeling more confident and supported in my clinical work. If you’re thinking about EMDR training or consultation, run—don’t walk—to work with them! Tiffany Perrigo

Dr. Morrissey gives weekly supervision/consultation for 10 weeks following the lecture training weekends which allows students to practice on a lot of clients while having a support system behind you as you stumble your way through the first few months of learning EMDR. I have already recommended her to some of my interns that I supervise as I think EVERY clinician that works with trauma needs to have this training. I’m sad this course is coming to an end because it has been something I look forward to each week. 5 stars!!! Take her course, you will not regret it. Lacey Latka
Dr. Morrissey is a thorough instructor, takes time to answer all questions, and provides excellent consultation following the classes. Sande Boor
