The EMDR Counseling Collective began with a question:

What if there was a different way to build a therapy practice?

After more than two decades working across behavioral health, our founder, Andrea White, had the opportunity to work alongside many exceptional clinicians. Over time, she noticed a common theme. Therapists were often searching for environments where they could continue growing professionally, practice in ways that reflected their values, and provide the kind of thoughtful, specialized care that first drew them to the profession. Many found that independence came with isolation. Others found collaboration, but at the expense of professional autonomy. Andi believed there shouldn't have to be a tradeoff.

The EMDR Counseling Collective was created to bring together independently owned private practices connected by shared values rather than shared ownership. Every clinician maintains the freedom to build a practice that reflects their expertise, clinical judgment, and passions while remaining part of a community committed to consultation, lifelong learning, and ethical, evidence-based care.

Our goal has never been to become the largest practice. Our goal is to build a community of exceptional clinicians who continually challenge and support one another so we can provide the highest quality care to the people we serve.

We believe exceptional therapy begins with therapists who are supported, respected, and encouraged to keep learning. When clinicians thrive, their clients benefit.
