"Healing through Eye Movement Desensitization"
Craig Penner works as a psychotherapist with a focus on process-oriented work that connects with people's natural abilities to find a sense of resolution and completion. He utilizes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with a strong focus on the body and nervous system to facilitate this work. Two questions that have driven his orientation have been: How does our nature work, and how can we best work with that nature? This has led him to find ways of working that align with the potential movement and integration of our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual natures.

Mr. Penner is certified as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and in Somatic Experiencing Touch Therapy. He also has certifications as an EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and is a member of the training staff of the EMDR Institute.

  He has been a licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist since 1982.
