Roy Kiessling, LISW, is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with more than 20 years of clinical practice. He is a member of the National Association of Social Workers and Alpha Delta Mu (Social Worker’s Honor Society). He was initially trained in EMDR in 1995 by The EMDR Institute, Level 1 by Kay Werk in Cincinnati, OH and Level 2 by Francine Shapiro in Chicago, IL. In 1997, Roy became an EMDR Institute facilitator and started helping conduct EMDR Institute trainings led by Ms. Shapiro and her Senior Trainer staff. Since 1998, Roy has been an EMDRIA Approved Credit Provider and Consultant. He presented at the EMDRIA International Conference from 1999 through 2010 on topics involving basic EMDR procedures and protocols, resourcing interventions, and in 2010, he led a full day, pre-conference workshop on EMDR from a belief-focused perspective. Roy started working towards becoming an independent trainer with EMDRIA accreditation in 2013. In June of that year, Roy’s own approach to the EMDR Basic Training was approved. He is now an independent EMDRIA Approved Training Provider. With his focus on his own basic training course, Roy resigned as a senior training provider from both The EMDR Institute and EMDR HAP. Roy’s basic training approach incorporates his many years of experience in teaching EMDR, providing the most effective techniques and additional information to assist clinicians in seamlessly integrating the EMDR approach into their practices.
