Im very glad & honored I did follow this course about TBI. Im feeling it has enriched my knowlegde about our brain, TBI, symptoms, behaviour and the protocol EMDR and TBI

This course was very informative and presented extremely well. I appreciated the neurological information, along with details about how the brain activates, such as Hertz levels. It is very helpful to understand the effects of TBI when the grey matter vs. the white matter is affected. Neat to learn when and why you apply shorter reps of BLS. It is very effective when I apply what I learn from Jim Knipe, and now I look forward to applying your protocol for TBI clients. Since taking this course, I am more curious about the impact of TBI and the application of EMDR for various types of injuries. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with such passion and care. ,

Dr. Morrisey is so knowledgable and easy to follow

I learned a great deal from Dr. Morrissey in this course, and so appreciated her relational style and candor. I “didn’t know what I didn’t know” and am feeling much more confident working with clients with TBIs now. I also appreciate the suggestions for further reading and the support for “going slow” and choosing targets wisely.

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.

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.

It takes a while to find someone you gel with when it comes to counseling and therapy in my experience. Dr. Morrissey is outstanding and I know that I’m make real progress when I see her. Can’t recommend her enough.

Great Consultation. Dr. Morrissey has a lot of excellent tools and provided wonderful guidance.

I took the EMDR Basic Training. This class was informative and has added an effective tool to my Therapist Toolbox. I am looking forward to utilizing all that I learned to meeting clients needs. Dr. Morrissey provided excellent instruction with the research to back up the efficacy of EMDR. I would high recommend utilizing The Morrissey Institute for EMDR instruction for current and future Therapists in both Basic and Advanced Training.

Dr. Morrissey is an excellent instructor. She uses fantastic metaphors and real-life examples to really help you understand the protocol for EMDR. Additionally, Dr. Morrissey is very accomodating for life happening during training. I did not feel shamed for having my baby with me and she was able to provide support to help me get the most out of the training despite this as an obstacle. Absolutely love Dr. Morrissey!

Wonderful experience! Learned so much in a caring, strengths-based, yet rigorous environment! Would highly recommend!

It was a great training. Michelle is very knowledgable and easy to understand. I enjoyed her style as she appealed to different learning styles.

Dr. Morrissey’s training is full of valuable information. She is generous in sharing her breadth of experience, resources, and wisdom and does a remarkable job creating an environment in which students can question, practice, and learn.

This review is as a PMHNP student observing Dr. Morrissey practice for clinical hours. I highly recommend her as a therapist. She is very knowledgeable and enjoys helping others. She is very professional and great with EMDR. I really enjoyed the time I spent at The Morrissey Institute.

Dr. Morrissey is a thorough instructor, takes time to answer all questions, and provides excellent consultation following the classes.

HIGHLY HIGHLY highly recommend Dr. Morrissey for EMDR training. I am nearing completion of the basic training course for EMDR and it has been a fun and fabulous experience. Dr. Morrissey was dedicated to our class learning as much as possible in our 4 month training program and was available for all of my millions of questions that came up when practicing EMDR on my own. 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.

Dr. Morrissey is an incredibly knowledgeable practitioner and teacher. In taking her trainings you will be thoroughly equipped to practice your skills, and then some.

Dr. Morrissey is an amazing teacher and clearly a caring clinician!

I learned a great deal in this training and it has been very beneficial in developing my therapeutic practice. I highly recommend anyone to take this training. Dr. Morrissey engages thoroughly, and is very supportive through the process.

Dr. Morrissey’s provided an excellent, in-depth, professional, interesting, interactive, thorough and extremely valuable instructional set of classes on EMDR. Her extensive knowledge and expertise on this subject, combined with her friendly, open, supportive, inquisitive and positive attitude and demeanor during our online instruction kept the class interesting, motivating and provided consistent opportunity for us to ask questions, share insights and to benefit from the practical, hands-on experience that Dr. Morrisey has with EMDR. I left this class with a high level of confidence in my skills as an EMDR practitioner thanks to her preparation, support and excellent instruction.

I am taking Dr. Morrissey’s training course online and engaged with her for supervision. I can’t recommend the Morrissey Institute enough; she is truly an expert who is able to provide impactful supervision and guidance that will undoubtedly influence my work with all clients moving forward.

Amazing comprehensive EMDR course for clinicians offered by Dr. Morrissey. One of the best. Would highly recommend

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!

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!

Great information and adaptations for working with brain injuries using EMDR. My only wish was that I found the power points in canvas sooner, so I had some visual aids as I went along.

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.

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.

I had my EMDR training through The Morrissey Institute. It was incredibly helpful between the information given in the training and consultations in learning how to do EMDR with clients. By the time I was done, I felt confident in my ability to work with my clients. Since the training, there has been an increase in referrals to me for clients with trauma and it has been amazing to see their growth because of EMDR.

Dr.Morrissey is an amazing trainer and I learned so much about EMDR and how to incorporate it into my practice in many ways. I loved the training so much, I am sending my staff to be trained by her as well!

I would also love to add how helpful the other staff are at the Morrissey clinic in helping me understand the process and ease my fears of learning such an intense modality.

If you are trying to decide where to get your training, look no further!

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!

great trainings !! very helpful

Dr. Morrissey is an amazing EMDR Therapist and Consultant. Her knowledge and wisdom has helped me immensely in my healing journey and those who have chosen me to help them through theirs.

I received EMDR training from Dr Morrissey. She truly has a gift for instruction and a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw upon. I greatly appreciated her ability to apply and expand on multiple concepts. Thorough and engaging!! Will continue with higher level training if the opportunity arises!

This training was more in depth than I expected and very helpful. I appreciated the education on the TBI brain, the differences and overlap between TBI and PTSD, and the practical advice on how to amend EMDR for TBI. I would definitely recommend it to someone interested in this topic, as I would recommend other trainings by Dr Michelle Morrissey.

Training was informative and easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone working with clients who have TBI

Dr. Morrissey is an excellent EMDR therapist and instructor. Her course was up to date in the research and evidence for why EMDR is an excellent modality in treating trauma. She was prepared and very receptive to questions throughout her training. She created such a warm and welcoming experience for someone who is learning the modality and theory. She gave timely feedback but was very kind and warm in how she relayed the information. She created such a safe and welcoming environment to learn which dispelled a lot of my own anxiety and fear of trying something new. Her practicum was very well-thought out and gave myself a great opportunity to practical implement the skills and knowledge right away. Would highly recommend her as a supervisor and instructor for EMDR. Additionally had the chance to work on my own EMDR fear as she did a live demonstration on parts of my trauma during the practicum and can successfully say I no longer fear heights. No question about it, she gives you life changing skills to use for EMDR therapy. Highly recommend anyone to go through the Morrissey Institute.

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.

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!

Excellent trainings offered to expand understanding of applying EMDR to TBI populations. Thorough, well researched and communicative. Dr. Morrissey really knows her stuff!

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!

Dr Morrissey’s EMDR training was great. Very informative and answered all my questions. I completed course feeling confident in the skills I learned. Dr. Morrissey had great resource information and consultations were very helpful.

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.
