- juldie bohmerI have attended a few trainings with Dr. Sweeton now and they have been very helpful! The content is practical, and questions are answered in a way that make sense as to why things do and don't work in therapy. Very professional and high-quality presentations that add depth to knowledge base. Thank you. I will definitely be attending more trainings!2/03/2024
- April StarrGreat presenter and her NDIT program is fantastic. It takes all the neuroscience based interventions I've been using, and more, and added a memory integration method that isn't as abrupt as EMDR. Having been through EMDR treatment, myself, I wish I had had access to this method as a PTSD client. I'm so happy to be able to offer this as a practitioner.10/09/2023

- Terri Perelman-HallThe workshop I took today on a sensorimotor therapy techniques for trauma treatment was one of the best seminars I have attended in my 30 years as a clinical psychologist. Dr. Sweeton is an excellent presenter. Her teachings on both the neurobiology of trauma as well as the therapeutic techniques were easy to understand, informative, and will be very helpful to me as a clinician. I plan to attend other seminars given by her in the future.7/05/2023

- Pam LuisI took this training because I had attended another of her trainings back in 2017 in Honolulu and learned so much. That was the beginning of my journey of learning about neuroscience, PTSD and subsequent training in EMDR. This was an excellent training for the price with a wealth of information and resources to use in trauma therapy. Thank you and I look forward to part 2. Pamela K Luis1/08/2023Erin Moon-WalkerDr. Sweeton gave not only a comprehensive look at the processes within EMDR, she also gave a lot lot of comparisons to other types of therapy outside of EMDR. She helped me better understand where EMDR stands, in general. I "feel" interventions better qnd more intuitively after Dr. Sweeton explains them because she really gets to the jelly of why/how things work. I did leave the training feeling like I needed more time to figure out where to start in terms of reviewing all of the information and handouts she gave, but I think that is a side effect of getting so much great info 🙂1/05/2023
- Katrina ArnoldDr. Sweeton always does a super amazing job of sharing information to make it easy to understand and use. I recently attended her EMDR 2 day training/webinar as I wanted to see another provider in action. I left with more information and knowledge using her approach to this therapy. I will take this information and add it to my working knowledge of EMDR. Thank you Dr. Sweeton!1/05/2023PsychCare, Inc.Dr. Sweet is an amazing presentor. She spoke for 6 hours without ever seeming to need a note even though every minute was packed with useful information for anyone dealing with trauma. She integrated neuroscience skillfully with her clinical applications. I thought she handled questions effectively as well because she paused about every 45 minutes to answer questions she thought would be applicable to the majority of attendees. I could not recommend her more. I would, however, recommend that you download her slides before beginning. This would have allowed me to take notes on what wasn't on a particular slide and I would have relaxed more. Alot of great, applicable material.1/05/2023

- Katie GambyI took Dr. Sweeton's course on neural desensitization and it is literally the best course I have ever taken. Her ability to teach material from an evidence based grounding but infuse practical and accessible tools to use with clients who have trauma was a wonderful blend of the research and the practicality of doing therapy. With many trainings under my belt and a PhD myself, she is one of the most excellent teachers I have had the privilege of learning under. Take her courses, you won't be disappointed!!4/12/2022

I am absolutely amazed at the knowledge I have gained in the past 2 days of training. Thank you Dr. Sweeton for sharing you knowledge and skills through this training.8/07/2021Danielle FyffeDr. Sweeton presents the material in an easy way to understand. I've been using EMDR since 2015 and learned so much by listening to her present. I really appreciated how she was relaxed about how she does it, telling what has worked for her, and being OK with not being an EMDR purist. This is one of the few trainings I have attended that I will probably rewatch. Good and practical information.8/04/2021
- Decontee DavisI was absolutely blown away by the knowledge and teaching skills Dr. Sweeton has.

She made the training very interesting and interactive which makes it easier to internalize the information. Thank you!!6/15/2021Starlene LewisI completed Dr. Jennifer Sweeton's 2-Day Intensive Trauma Treatment Certification Workshop webinar. The first day Dr. Sweeton provided education on the brain and how it functions. She broke the information down into understandable parts. Dr. Sweeton made more sense of the brain parts and functions than any training I have attended over the past 25 years. She provides slides that are not only informative, but hold your atttention. On the second day, Dr. Sweeton provided education and instruction on actual treatment techniques. I enjoyed and appreciated this information the most. Rarely have I attended a seminar where attendees are given education and guidance on actual treatment techniques along with handouts to use in treatment. It is evident she put a lot of time and attention into this well organized webinar. It was well worth my time and money. I would recommend it to anyone who works with clients who are struggling with trauma related issues.6/06/2021

- Valerie ReynoldsI have attended webinars with Dr Sweeton and bought her book "The Trauma Treatment Toolbox". I have been a therapist for 12 years, with trauma treatment being my passion. I have to say that Dr Sweeton's trainings and book have made this incredibly broad subject, with so many nuances to treatment, MUCH more easily accessible. In particular, how she teaches different strategies for bottom-up vs top-down strategies to heal is a total game changer.2/06/2021Chaundra RandleI recently participated in Jennifer's Trauma Treatment Certification Workshop and it was excellent. I've been in the field for over 20 years, and Jennifer shared information that was new to me. She provided great information and practical tools that I can easily utilize with my clients in therapy.2/06/2021Abu LumpyThis training was immensely helpful. I really appreciated the conceptualization of top/down vs. bottom/up approaches based on client presentation. What I valued the most were the interventions and having solid explanations to help the client understand the science behind them. These are the areas I felt shaky in before. This training boosted my confidence and I'm excited to bring these skills to my practice TODAY.2/06/2021

- A LhI have only completed Day 1 of Jennifer Sweeton's 2-Day Intensive on: EMDR, CBT and Somatic-Based Interventions to Move Clients from Surviving to Thriving (Live Webinar). I learned so much about the mechanics of techniques I have intuitively used (being fairly new to the clinical field of my craft) and the physiological impact of them. This will help me explain the mechanics of the impact to my clients. I am even more excited about Day-2! I am even considering delving more into the neuroscientific aspect of this field.2/06/2021Jennifer FeilI attended a trauma training by Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. Dr. Sweeton teaches in a way that is concise and easy to understand. She elaborates on concepts which are complicated so that attendees can really get a grasp on the content. She answered all relevant questions and provided her personal contact information to ask questions that may not have been on topic - I really appreciated this! She also often provided us with extra content that was not already part of the program but she thought would be helpful. She is very thorough and I look forward to attending more workshops lead by Dr. Sweeton.2/06/2021
- Susan HardisonI am in the process of taking a two day Intensive Trauma Treatment Certification Workshop with Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. Though I have had a 25 year interest in Neuroscience and treatment implications, Dr. Sweeton's knowledge combined with her ability to TEACH the information in an engaging and interesting manner makes this training a more valuable education than ANY I have received to date. Her unbelievable grasp of the research and FACTS pertaining to Trauma, specific areas of the brain, and HOW Trauma affects each those area. Plus, her understanding of various evidenced based therapy techniques has already made it easier for me to see exactly how and why specific therapeutic interventions and practices actually work to shift and/or change the brain! Thank you, Dr. Sweeton!2/06/2021Dominika VentucciI completed a trauma seminar with Dr. Sweeton and it was amazing! I was worried because I thought I have read about and trained in trauma and this course would therefore be boring with little new information. I was wrong! Dr. Sweeton not only was able to explain the neuroscience of trauma in a new and very compelling and memorable way she made connections I have never made on my own before and I came out with a much better understanding of trauma and the treatment. I would recommend Dr. Sweeton 100%. And I would seek therapy from her if needed it.2/06/2021

Highly recommend.1/06/2021
- Justin Sonny BrownI attended the 'Building A Resilient Brain workshop in Perth Australia. I have been working in the addictions field for many years but the information around Neuroscience can be a little difficult to understand and even more so apply with clients. Jens workshop I found to be outstanding, i learned more from her 1 day workshop than I have from lots of books I have read. Her style is engaging and her expertise impressive. For sure a five star rating. Ka mau te wehi-Justin1/06/2021Robert WortonI completed my first online course with Dr Sweeton and it was informative, inspiring, and motivating. Each section provided me with new information to relay to clients and they were appreciative albeit they realised they were my guinea pigs for trialling the new techniques and psycho-education.

She gave a lot of practical examples of how to integrate this information into clinical work with a wide variety of clients and mental health disorders.11/06/2020TinaMarie HubbellThe first part of a three training series has been excellent! Dr. Sweeton breaks down difficult neuroscientific concepts into an understandable format. I appreciated her suggestions for bottom-up and top-down interventions and explaining what the goal is and why they work. Looking forward to the next two trainings!11/06/2020
- Jenna SmartFitDid a 2 Day Trauma Training with Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. She not only was amazingly informative but was very engaging. A two day (15 hour) training, can get old, but I found myself hanging on every word Dr. Sweeton said. Everything she taught furthered my understanding of the neuroscience of trauma and will enhance my practice.11/06/2020Ashley EastmanIntensive Trauma Treatment Certification Workshop: EMDR, CBT and Somatic Based Interventions to Move Clients from Surviving to Thriving Workshop was absolutely phenomenal.

- Gunjani PatelTook her CCTP training through PESI and LOVE LOVE LOVE her teaching style. She has turned me into a new neuroscience nerd. I always had a love for neuroscience but never could remember the details after the course was done. With her now I know all the things and she makes it so easy to remember. Thanks again Dr. Sweeton for coming into my life. Your training has completely changed the depth of my trauma knowledge from a neuroscience perspective and knowing all the empirical details that I didn't know before.11/06/2020

I highly recommend this webinar.10/06/2020
- Annika Blogs&video gamesJust attended a two day seminar taught by Dr. Sweeton. I had not heard of her before but I am so impressed by her teaching and the amount of information I have learned and can use right away. I have learned so many times about the parts of the brain but I felt like this time it really connected and made sense. She has a nice balance of science and practical tips.10/06/2020
- Bridget BoehmerCompleted a 2 day Intensive Trauma Treatment webinar with Dr. Sweeton. The information was top notch, and while I fully expected 16 hours of straight Zoom to be miserable, it was not, at all. As a clinician, it was extremely helpful and I really appreciated the neuroscience background. I Fully expect to use all of this information in my practice.I have one complaint, and it's a small one, and is probably less of an actual big deal than how it sat with me. Its less of a complain actually and more feedback, I guess. I'm a Licensed Independent Social Worker - so, I am independent clinician. I assume that there are a number of us viewing this webinar. A few times throughout the webinar Dr. Sweeton mentioned using social workers in her work, but the implication appeared to be that social workers are for resource location, immediate action plans, etc. While this is certainly true for some of us, and we all do a little bit of it, it just sat a little strange for me, as a LARGE portion of us are independent clinicians who do the clinical work, just as a psychologist would (with the obvious exception of psychometric testing).Again. That's a very small thing, and not really criticism, just feedback. The information was great, the powerpoint was well done and the delivery was good as well. I would definitely do another webinar with her.10/06/2020
- Maria TaylorDr. Sweeton is a fantastic presenter! She comes across as incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and confident. She easily explained fairly complex neuro-processes in a very digestible manner. I look forward to applying some of the principles and tools that she shared and look forward to taking more of her courses.10/06/2020james buttsI recently completed a 2-day Intensive Trauma Treatment Certification by Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. It was incredible! I'm a Clinical Social Worker and I found this training to be well-rounded with a mixture of empirical research, Neuroscience, and practice examples. I was never board during this training, even with completing it as webinar. Jennifer was engaging and did a great job of holding my attention over this 2-day training. I highly recommend this training and I'm going to keep an eye out for any of her future trainings.9/06/2020
- Kelley BaileyDr. Sweeton has a gift for taking the topic of trauma, narrowing down the material and clearly expressing it in a way that is relevant to the training. She gives great examples that actually apply to trauma work and which are practical for use with clients. She shares her knowledge and materials freely.

- Mary JohnsonHello. I took the 2 day EMDR with Dr. Jennifer Sweeton. Before I took the course, I was very skeptical. I mean, you see a lot of materials out there about it. I finally decided to take it and I'm so glad I did. Dr. Sweeton is a great speaker and teacher. For someone like me (I admit- I'm a bit shy), I was able to receive the instruction along with all of these people- and I didnt feel like I was going to mess it up. Plus, I felt that if I did mess it up, then Dr. Sweeton would be right there to help. What an experience... one of the best trainings I have ever been to.7/06/2020Nancy CrossExcellent presenter with both academic and experiencial knowledge of the topic. Dr. Sweeton presents her in-depth knowledge in a professional, yet friendly manner that keeps the viewers' interest. By giving participants the opportunity for hands-on learning, she incorporates additional avenues of learning. kAdditionally, she is receptive to questions, yet is cognizant of relevance and timing.

It was a great interweave (intentional :)), of review and new information. Thank you!7/06/2020Steffani WooleyThis is my 2nd or 3rd training with Dr. Sweeton and I am blown away every time. There is so much information that I always review it again after at least once. Dr. Sweeton is extremely knowledgable about what she's teaching and gives that knowledge in a way that is so easy to understand. The skills she teaches are great for clinical use as well as practical, personal use. I could not be more happy with her trainings!7/06/2020Leslie AndersonI found Dr. Sweeton to be an excellent presenter. She was clearly knowledgeable, and was able to synthesize information seamlessly while holding attention on a web-based presentation--I'm sure she'd be wonderful in person, post COVID-19. I will look for more trainings that she is offering.7/06/2020
- Lisa JamesI have attended the basic EMDR and the Advanced EMDR for Complex Trauma seminars and absolutely love Dr Sweeton's teaching style, she makes it so easy to understand! She puts it in words that allows you to relate to it yourself and for your clients. The handouts are super easy to use and helpful when using EMDR with clients!7/06/2020
- Chilando ChitoboloI enjoyed the the EMDR course and it was packed with rich materials. It was an eye opener especially for me as an undergraduate studying counseling.

Thankyou so much Dr. Sweeton for imparting my life.7/06/2020
- Jane FitzpatrickI just completed a two day live video webcast with Dr. Sweeton on EMDR A Rapid,Safe, and Proven Treatment for Trauma. I have participated in several live webcasts in the past and this one was excellent. Her background in neuroscience really served to clarify for me the structure of the brain and its correlates to trauma and the effectiveness of EMDR. The specificity of what exercises to utilize to target certain areas of the brain moving forward will be invaluable in my clinical practice. I will certainly be registering for any further opportunities that become available to study with Jennifer Sweeton.7/06/2020Willie RedmanThis was my first training in EMDR. Dr. Sweeton has done an excellent job presenting the information and the demo of strategies has been stellar. I am a LSCSW and have a private practice. This training is a valuable resource and the materials included are unbelievable! I will definitely watch the videos included in the resources. I plan to take more courses offered by Dr. Sweeton.7/06/2020
- Ric KeeferI attended the EMDR session 2/20-21/2020 Dr. Sweeton provided concise and clear information. She provided insights into neuroscience that I could understand.

I will not hesitate to send clients to her for healing trauma, addictions, and other psychological issues.7/06/2020
- Melissa MaineYesterday I attended Dr. Sweeton's presentation "Trauma and the Brain" and it was absolutely fabulous. In over 30 years in Child Welfare I believe it was one of the best seminars I have ever attended. Dr. Sweeton presents in an engaging and easy to understand manner. The material helped to put together so many pieces of the puzzle that we see with the children and families we work with and provided practical suggestions and ideas on how to help. I would recommend this training for front line workers and supervisory staff in Child Welfare as well as educators and clinicians. Melissa Maine, LCSW-R7/06/2020Kevin HaleyI have attended 3 workshops taught by Dr. Sweeton - and my recommendation could not be higher. Her ability to synthesize the more complex aspects of brain physiology, emotional complexities and cognitive processes - and then present it at such a "kitchen table" conversational language is truly gifted.Also, the various "helps" she teaches us allow us to bring to our clients (alongside talk-therapy) truly beneficial results in their day-to-day emotional lives.I strongly recommend two things that have been of great help to me; enroll in her monthly subscription offering AND take advantage of many of her seminars. As a bonus, Dr. Sweeton is quite generous in allowing us to use her own printed materials - which have been very beneficial in informing clients exactly what steps we are taking where we are headed.This high endorsement comes from someone who has spent nearly 30 years of study, training and experience in seeking to be beneficial to others in moving toward greater emotional well-being.Kevin Haley7/06/2020
- Jennifer WinchellI attended the Diagnosis & Treatment Workshop by Dr. Jennifer Sweeton on November 22, 2019 and the presentation was excellent. It was easy to follow, super informative, and she kept your attention and there wasn't ever a moment where I was "bored" with the presentation. She kept my attention the whole time and I look forward to being able to attend any of her other trainings in the future. She worked in the science piece of the brain with her presentation that made things make so much more sense in the reasoning. The examples and practice moments she gave was able to provide a lot of insight and things I could start to incorporate into my new social work position.7/06/2020Brenda SmithI learned a lot at Dr. Sweeton's Trauma Treatment Toolbox presentation (Stormont Vail 11/22/2019). One of the things I appreciate most is her presentation style which provides in-depth understanding of neuroscience for non-scientists. This allowed me to come away with language that I can share with clients about how and why the various trauma treatments work. This is very helpful for encouraging compliance with exercises they should do at home, on their own. Dr. Sweeton's presentation was thorough and gave many treatment interventions that I can use NOW with clients.7/06/2020
- J WThis is an amazingly clear and detailed presentation. We got into details about the brain that were not shared in other presentations. I believe I will take the information back to my practice and use it. I am glad I was able to participate. I have been frustrated by other vague presentations but this information was concrete and actionable.7/06/2020
- Timothy ApodacaI attended the Neuroscience of Addiction and Treatment presentation by Dr. Sweeton on 11/1/19, at the Annual Conference of the Greater Kansas City Psychological Association, and it was phenomenal. Dr. Sweeton was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she presented, and was very effective at conveying complex information in an engaging manner. I would definitely attend future workshops or presentations by Dr. Sweeton.7/06/2020tessa arvizuJennifer Sweeton's EMDR training was outstanding! She is very knowledgeable and very natural and she makes it fun and engaging! I have been a therapist for almost 20 years and how she presented EMDR and incorporated science with therapy makes me excited for my clients. As a therapist ,Ifeel and think that this is exactly what I've been waiting for and Jennifer Sweeton's enthusiasm and knowledge made this possible! I recommend going to Jennifer Sweeton's EMDR training at least once in your professional life.7/06/2020
- Susan ThomasI just completed the 2 day EMDR Certificate Course with Dr. Sweeton. It was very thorough, well paced and explained complex brain functions and the 8 phase protocol very effectively. I was trained in EMDR 15 years ago (part I) and never completed part II b/c the population I worked with was so unstable and I feared doing harm.This course was an exceptional review for me and has given me confidence to move forward with EMDR in my work, even with very challenging ED children. Thank you Dr. Sweeton!7/06/2020Michele WiestI just finished the last day of a three day training. It was fabulous, never done anything with EMDR before. I found it easy to follow the presentation material and Dr Sweeton was easy to learn from. It apparent she is an expert in her field. I would highly recommend attending one of her trainings.7/06/2020
- Mark SchmoyerI attended the Neuroscience for Clinicians seminar taught by Dr. Sweeton and I was extremely grateful for the information I learned from her. The information naturally can be complex and complicated but Dr. Sweeton explained it in a understandable way, and in a format that progressively built on top of past information. Learning about brain structures and how it impacts therapy, diagnoses, treatment, and conceptualization was very helpful and added to my interest and appreciation of this field to the therapy process. I would definitely recommend the seminar to anyone interested.7/06/2020Molly MagahyDr Jennifer Sweeton's 2 day EMDR training is amazing. Dr Sweeton's inclusion of the neuroscience behind trauma and EMDR was a great addition to the general EMDR training. I would highly recommend Dr Sweeton as a trainer and will definitely be attending more of her training's in the future.7/06/2020
- manon wathierI attended " Building a resilient brain" in Brisbane on 2nd August 2019.Jennifer is truly an inspiration! I learned a lot on the day and came out wanting to run a resilience group at work ( mental health rehab setting).She really knows her stuff and no question was left unanswered. Without any hesitation I recommend this workshop to any mental health professional. I'm an OT and it was definitely worth it!7/06/2020
- sayogee peI attended the 'Building A Resilient Brain workshop on 02/08/2019. It was fantastic, very informative with lots of relevant content to practice. She really captivated everybody in the room with her knowledge and delivery. Her book 'Trauma treatment toolbox" worth buying, very easy to read, thanks for signing it for me 🙂7/06/2020abbott jordanAttended Jennifer Sweeton's webinar, "Neuroscience for Clinicians, Brain Change for Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Moods and Substance Abuse. Although this was an all day webinar I found the presentation to be quite informative, providing me with much knowledge about brain function,, symptoms and treatment measures that I did not previously possess. She also provided information that validated measures I was already utilizing. An all day webinar has the potential to being taxing but I found that Dr. Sweeton's manner of presentation and focus on connecting brain functions to clinical relevance held my interest and attention throughout. This webinar certainly met and exceeded my expectations and left me with new ideas to use in treatment.7/06/2020
- Jennifer GarciaAttended live online training "neuroscience for clinicians" - AMAZING. I am fully attuned to the information, love the visual slides shes using, very knowledgeable, I will continue to look for future trainings from Dr Sweeton. I will use this info right away in my private practice!7/06/2020Print WomanPsycho-therapy is filled with quack-practitioners, so it was incredibly uplifting to be taught EMDR by a true scientist, one who is able to elucidate the subject matter by explaining the scientific rationale behind each element of the therapeutic process. After all, the best way to learn a new topic is to understand it! Dr. Sweeton is a fast-paced and articulate lecturer, and I feel my investment was money very well spent. She has my highest recommendation.7/06/2019
- Debra WrazinI recently attended Dr. Sweeton's training in Buffalo and it was excellent. It was the best training I have ever attended, extremely helpful to my practice, and her knowledge is exceptional. I highly recommend that if you have an opportunity to attend one of her trainings it would be invaluable especially for social workers/counselors dealing with clients that have a trauma history however the information can be applied with all clients.7/06/2019Milo MilburnI just completed the three-day EMDR intensive with Dr. Sweeton. I am deeply appreciative of what I received, including the valuable practice sessions applying EMD and EMDR. I have had a couple of EMDR trainings prior to this, and while they were helpful, this was by far the most helpful. The first day presentation on neuroscience was excellent context for the components of EMDR practices. Dr. Sweeton was very generous in terms of helpful materials. My EMDR competence took a definitive step forward.7/06/2019Lisa TolliverHIGHLY recommended! If you're a mental health clinician who works in the field of trauma treatment or eating disorders, I highly recommend you receive ANY of Dr. Sweeton's trainings that you can. I received EMDR training from her and it was top-notch! There are many trainers with whom you could contract for EMDR training, but her educational background gives her a far 'deeper bench' of knowledge, and it SHOWS. (She holds a Doctoral degree from Stanford Med. School, studies in behavioral genetics from Harvard Med, an additional Masters' in affective neuroscience (also, Stanford), and a stint at the National Center for PTSD.) Though neuroscience is her passion, don't, however, think that she'll talk in 'jargon.' She explains the science behind the therapeutic interventions in a way that any clinician can understand! Furthermore, she does so without watering down concepts-- which is quite a feat. At the end of the first day, I overheard several clinicians remark that Dr. Sweeton was the first trainer they had who could explain the neuroscience of trauma & healing in a manner they could understand. Several said that they now felt empowered to teach about the psychobiology of trauma and recovery with their clientele! If you are seeking a source of excellent, professional-level training, Dr. Sweeton's courses should be your first choice.7/06/2019
- TimandMichelle MarriageguyandgalI have been wanting to take an EMDR course for quite some time to use with my counseling clients who have experienced trauma and abuse. I could not have chosen a better introduction. Jennifer Sweeton went into depth on the neuroscience as well as the protocols, covered the nuances, and gave insightful and attuned feedback. Practice opportunities were well conducted. Her passion, compassion, knowledge, and relatability made what could potentially be a heavy topic into something manageable and exciting to learn. I definitely feel prepared to begin using EMDR with my clients in the near future.7/06/2019Michaela WilberRecently attended a training in Buffalo by Dr. Jennifer Sweeton! She was absolutely incredible. I would highly recommend a training by her. She is so knowledgeable and is able to explain things so well. Definitely worth ones time to attend one of her trainings. Thank you for the awesome Training Jennifer!7/06/2019

- Nicole AlbertsonI attended Dr. Sweeton's conference on neuroscience for clinicians and learned a great deal about how the brain communicates, functions, and relates to mental health diagnoses. Dr. Sweeton was informative, organized, and relevant to today's clinicians, especially those of us working with traumatized clients. I highly recommend her seminars.7/06/2019
-
- Jack HornI attended Jennifer's training in order to improve my trauma practice and add new skills to my therapist "toolbox". I received much more than I expected. I have been able to use her training in my practice from day 1. Her approaches are practical, efficient, and simple and her many worksheets and handouts helped me to put my training to use immediately.7/06/2019Melissa ScarfoneI attended Dr. Sweeton's seminar, Neuroscience for Clinicians: Brain Change for Stress, Anxiety, Trauma, Moods and Substance Abuse. She was fabulous. I have attended neuroscience-type seminars in the past and gained a spotty understanding of the material but Dr. Sweeton presented the information with such clarity, I felt I had an immediate understanding of brain structures and the role they play in many psychological disorders. It undergirds the theory and practice of counseling and therapy. I feel I have many more tools in my toolbox for the work I do with college students with disabilities. I HIGHLY recommend attending her presentations; I hope to have the opportunity to do so again. Melissa Scarfone7/06/2019
- Nan FitzgeraldI attended "Neuroscience for Clinicians" in Timonium, Maryland on Friday, March 1, 2019. This was an OUTSTANDING presentation and I would highly recommend it for anyone working with people and/or groups therapeutically, nurses, and others who would benefit for this information. As a Licensed Clinical Therapist, LCSW-C, the information was "on-time" and pertinent to my scope of practice. While clinical in nature, the course was also taught in an easy to understand framework and questions were welcomed throughout the seminar. Great course!7/06/2019
- Maria McCabeI just completed a training on Neuroscience with Dr Sweeton at Arlington, VA. I enjoyed it very much, not just for the updated information but for her knowledge and willingness to share it with the participants. I highly recommend this training to professionals who want to bring something tangible to their practice. The knowledge is applicable and brings a different perspective on depression, anxiety, trauma, anger and other presentations we as clinicians see on a day to day.7/06/2019Phylicia BakerI attended Dr. Sweeton's Neuroscience for the Modern Clinician training and was very pleased! She tied together research, training and real-life experience in order to show the powers of neuroscience in action. The focus on mindfulness tools was also very helpful given my department's strategic plan over the past few years has been to increase the understanding and use of mindfulness throughout our setting.7/06/2019nora staringMy Colleagues and I attended Jennifer's training on Neuroscience and the Modern Clinician. We have been studying and learning a great deal about Neuroscience and Trauma but were so excited at how comprehensive and clearly Jennifer was able to present this valuable information. She added greatly to our understanding and provided us with take away techniques to assist clients, immediately. Her understanding of the field and ability to explain it was excellent. I hated to get up and leave for a rest room break in fear I'd miss something! I would attend this training again because it was so valuable and so filled with current information that I could not retain every bit:)7/06/2019
- Sally CaldwellDr. Sweeton was very knowledgeable and responded to every query. She presented highly technical information with concrete analogies and personal experience stories and repetition, linking each piece of new information on top of previously learned information. She was joyful; sustained energy; and generous with links to rich resources.7/06/2019Virginia WalkerDr. Sweeton was just in Alaska as presenter of a Neuroscience conference. It was the most educational, easy to understand explanation of what happens in the brain with different behavioral changes. Thank you for teaching the techniques that will make a difference in patient outcomes! I can't wait to attend another conference where you are the presenter.7/06/2019
