Trish Garrison

Trish Garrison, LICSW is an EMDR psychotherapist and is a Consultant-in-Training with Deany Laliotis. Trish’s private practice is in Exeter, New Hampshire.

Trish received her Masters in Social Work from the University of Connecticut in 1990. Early on in her career she worked in both outpatient and inpatient mental health settings with children and their families. She also worked side by side with Crown and Gates, a private practice specializing in the treatment of victims, offenders and families who were affected by sexual abuse. With the transition to her own private practice, Trish was able to continue to develop her specialities in working with young and older adults in the areas of trauma, attachment wounds, and dissociative disorders.

Trish’s recognition of the importance of the mind-body connection led her to extensive training and certification in clinical hypnosis through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. While hypnosis offers an opportunity to utilize one's inner wisdom and strength, identifying the need to treat trauma led Trish to EMDR training in 2015 with Deany Laliotis. This was the next step towards developing a highly effective psychotherapeutic treatment modality. Trish has successfully integrated hypnosis with EMDR to process traumatic experience, allowing for an individualized experience of healing.

Trish offers discounted individual and group consultation for newly EMDR-trained clinicians who are interested in learning a more relational style of EMDR psychotherapy. As a consultee, one can expect a collaborative approach to examining their clinical work, while enjoying the process of integrating EMDR into their practice.
