What People Are Saying About The Guided Studio's Tools
"I adore The Guided Studio! They offer a treasure trove of resources that are creative, deeply thoughtful, and queer and neurodivergent affirming in ways that both clients and clinicians can appreciate. These tools enhance flexibility and accessibility in what can otherwise feel like a highly protocol-driven treatment modality. If you're looking for resources that help you think outside the box and expand your clinical practice, The Guided Studio is for you!"

Feeling the Friction Between Protocol and Practice?
As a dedicated EMDR therapist, you recognize the importance of protocol adherence. However, adapting to the complexities of neurodivergent clients and complex trauma requires flexibility. The Guided Studio provides practical tools and in weaving parts work into EMDR, creative adaptation to meet each unique client's needs, maintaining client agency, fostering collaboration throughout the EMDR process, and caring for your most important therapeutic tool, yourself. Explore the simple magic of the Systemic Consent EMDR Framework™ to enhance your practice today.
Hey! I'm Sam. And I'm so glad you're here. I created The Guided Studio for therapists like us: the creative, the curious, the neurodivergent, the ones who feel like we have 50 tabs open in our brains at all times. I felt stuck trying to fit the rigid mold of traditional therapy. I needed resources that were as dynamic and flexible as the clients I work with. Tools that embraced complexity instead of shying away from it. And also tools that were visually engaging to help keep my and my clients' focus. When I couldn't find them, I decided to make them myself, usually fueled by coffee, bursts of hyperfixation, and a deep belief that therapy can be both effective and joyfully weird. These aren't just tools; they're the resources I wish I had. They're born from real sessions, real frustrations, and a whole lot of love for this work. I hope they help you feel more confident, creative, and authentically you in your practice.
