Kim and April went to graduate school at the same time but didn’t really meet until a fateful lunch date during the first weekend of our EMDR basic training. We’re pretty sure that our first coffee date after that sealed the deal for us to be therapy wives. In the years we’ve known each other, we’ve shared spaces in consultation groups and professional trainings, and have been each other’s go-to for processing our feelings around tough cases. We have regular "walk and talks" together, where we often find ourselves brainstorming ideas of how to make life easier for new therapists now that we’ve stumbled through our own sometimes painful early years in the profession. We’ve collectively completed more than a thousand hours of post graduate education in experiential therapies such as Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Bonnie Badenoch’s Inner Communities, Emotional Transformation Therapy and Relational Life Therapy, and are passionate about supporting other new therapists find confidence and support in their work.
