Gisèle Harrison EMDR Therapy, Consultation, and Training
Not your typical EMDR therapist, consultant and trainer!
I am a trauma and dissociation focused, feminist, anti-oppressive, queer and gender non-conforming affirming EMDR therapist, consultant and trainer. I first learned about EMDR therapy in 1998 during my final MSW internship and completed my first Basic EMDR training in 2001. I am also an affiliate faculty member with The Institute for Creative Mindfulness, under the direction of Dr. Jamie Marich.
I try to include “parts” work, somatic psychology, expressive arts, attachment focused, mindfulness, and anti-oppressive therapy throughout all 8-phases of my EMDR practice. I firmly believe that helping clients, consultees and trainees identify and cultivate intimacy with their “parts” system is key to learning grounding and self-regulation skills in order to live a more embodied life. I am also a feminist activist that is passionate about dismantling white supremacy and all forms of marginalization including land back and decolonizing EMDR therapy.
I have a solo private practice located in Windsor, Ontario where I see people in-person or online, and also provide on-line therapy for anyone residing in Ontario. I provide EMDR Consultation for EMDR therapists that have completed an EMDR Foundational Training. Once a year I provide a three part or an intensive in-person EMDR Basic Training in Windsor, Ontario. Please contact me directly regarding: EMDR therapy, individual and group EMDR consultation; and EMDR Basic Training.
My areas of expertise include:
– Connecting the dots between personal and systemic issues;
– PTSD, C-PTSD, Dissociative conditions;
– Gendered violence;
– Physical and sexual abuse/assault;
– Racialized trauma;
– Chronic pain and chronic illness;

– Grief and life transitions;
– Self-esteem;
– Caregiver Stress;

Please know that I also engage in my own EMDR and parts therapy so that I can be as happy and as healthy and as embodied as possible while also learning from my owned lived experience as a client.
