Valerie St. John, LMHC, EMDR-C | Adjunct EMDR Specialist & Clinical Supervisor

I specialize in focused EMDR treatment for clients who feel stuck despite meaningful work in therapy, as well as supporting clinicians who want to deepen their trauma-informed practice. Through EMDR intensives and adjunct EMDR therapy, I provide targeted trauma processing for adults who are looking to address specific memories, emotional triggers, negative beliefs, phobias, performance blocks, or patterns that continue to impact their lives. My goal is to offer specialized, goal-directed treatment that complements—not replaces—the work clients are already doing with their primary therapist. I also provide EMDR consultation for therapists seeking support with complex cases, EMDR preparation and processing, resourcing, case conceptualization, getting past blocks, and integrating parts-informed approaches into their work. Additionally, I offer clinical supervision for associate therapists in Washington State, supporting developing clinicians as they build confidence, strengthen clinical judgment, and grow their therapeutic identity. My approach integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed parts work, attachment perspectives, nervous system regulation, and a collaborative, relational approach. Whether working with clients or clinicians, my goal is to provide thoughtful, specialized support that honors each person's unique path and strengths.
