Patti Miller, MA, Licensed Psychologist
TRAINING DIRECTOR, MIDWEST CENTER FOR EMDR TRAINING

  • Co-Owner and Director Midwest Center for EMDR Training.
  • Co-Founder The Collaborative, LLC.
  • EMDRIA-Approved Trainer and Consultant.
  • Advanced EMDR Trainer in complex trauma, dissociation, PTSD, eating disorders, anxiety and depression.
  • Decades of experience working with adults, adolescents, and complex trauma.
  • Experienced leadership in EMDR and other cutting-edge therapies.

From basic to more complex adaptations, Patti is passionate about teaching EMDR Therapy from a competency and regulation-based perspective. She specializes in the treatment of Complex Trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Other Stressor Related Disorders, and Dissociation. She continues to have an active clinical practice alongside her teaching and consulting.

Patti has co-authored an intensive training modality called AIR (Adaptive Internal Relational) Network Therapy since 2015. AIR is a phase-oriented therapy model which de-mystifies dissociation, and complex trauma symptoms, giving therapists a cutting-edge paradigm to work from. AIR Network’s foundational principles are based in the latest research on neurology, developmental neurobiology, and 30 years of working with survivors.

Patti brings her advanced knowledge and warm, casual style to the EMDR Basic Training course.

Spreading hope for healing through EMDR therapy.

A plant mostly considered a weed, the entire dandelion (leaves, flower and root) has nutritional and medicinal value. In its lifecycle’s final form, the wind-born thistle is a metaphor for the launch of a new life, uplifted by learning, healing and resilience.
