Welcome to Journey Through The Eyes, EMDR Podcast: the podcast that unveils & explores the transformative power of EMDR therapy. Our Mission is to support clinicians with critical conversations and resources about EMDR, therapy and business practices. We are your hosts, Tamera J Brown and Kathy Couch. We are thrilled to embark on this journey with you. In this week’s episode, meet Karen Goldapp, LSCW. She has been a social worker since 2016, EMDR trained since 2019, and EMDR Certified since 2022. She got her Bachelor's in advertising, from the University of Texas at Austin, and Master's in Social Work from Texas State University. She started Lakeway EMDR (formerly ATX EMDR) in 2021 and previously worked at group practice counseling centers, non-profits, and a number of social service agencies. More importantly, she is a Myer's Briggs ENJF and Enneagram 4. Karen is passionate and believes that every person is capable of growth, maturing, and improving their life.
