Biography

Bio: After earning my Master of Arts in Education from the University of Akron in 2010, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Ohio. In 2013, I advanced to become a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and received a Supervisor Designation (LPCC-S). I trained in EMDR Therapy in 2020 , became an EMDR Certified Therapist in 2022 and earned my EMDRIA Approved Consultant status in 2023.

As a current Team Member with the Institute for Creative Mindfulness (ICM), I’m approved to provide EMDR Consultation to ICM trainees. I also earned an Advanced Certificate in Dissociation in 2023, which qualifies me to offer Dissociation-Focused EMDR Consultation to others working through ICM for this certificate.

I’ve gained counseling experience by working with children, teens and adults, in a variety of settings such as outpatient, intensive outpatient program, (IOP) partial hospitalization program (PHP) and residential settings, as well as school-based. For 10 years, I worked in a gender-specific program for adult women, focusing on complex trauma and substance use in a dual-diagnosis treatment setting.

I currently offer EMDR Therapy in a comfortable private-practice setting with both in-person and virtual options available. I’m also a Registered Yoga Teacher (500hr RYT) through the Yoga Alliance, so I bring breathing techniques, somatic movements and polyvagal exercises into EMDR resourcing.

Testimonials

What people are saying

"As an anti-racist political activist I move primarily in BIPOC spaces. As a therapist I move primarily in white spaces. This training is a model for other modalities, EFT, IFS, DBT, CBT, ACT, etc., to not only denounce racism but to take action in multiple ways."

"With the EMDR training scholarship discount I was able to help my therapy scholarship clients and even got to support Iranian therapists who are holding so much for their clients these days."

"During my EMDR training, Dr. Jamie and ICM underscored that everyone has an experience somewhere along the dissociative spectrum. Their inclusivity nurtured my plural identity, and I could be myself without fear of judgment, whispers, or laughter. Their profound acceptance and respect made me feel seen, valued, and appreciated as a professional."

"ICM was one of the most well organized and engaging training platforms I have utilized. It allowed me to obtain a basic foundation in EMDR Therapy and bring the modality to a population of clients that otherwise wouldn’t have access to."

"For the first time, I met trainers who teach EMDR Therapy while integrating embodiment, creative techniques, mindfulness meditations, and all on TeleHealth!! I had transforming experiences personally during my own EMDR processing and learned how to utilize the standard EMDR protocol. Now, I am using EMDR Therapy with Sandtray Therapy and reaching new goals in my business!
Thank you Jamie & ICM!"

"Thank you ICM for sharing the remarkable, life-changing gift of EMDR therapy! I can't emphasize enough how my learning through ICM (trainings, Jamie's webinars, videos, etc.), and its incredibly supportive community, has been a complete game changer for me both personally and professionally. Truly grateful, and as we often say in EMDR sessions, I'll "just go with that!"."

"The ability to learn EMDR virtually was truly a transformative process. Through ICM, I have developed needed clinical skills and gained a network of amazing, trauma-informed clinicians that are passionate about providing top-notch care. The combination of mindfulness techniques with the standard EMDR protocol has been a game changer in my practice, providing much needed healing for those in which I serve. Thank you, Dr. Marich and Staff!"

"Dr. Jamie Marich has designed an EMDR training that is nothing shy of AMAZING! As the Founder of the "only" Therapist of Color Collaborative in the State of Colorado, being trained by someone who could help digest what is a very scripted protocol, and make it more culturally relevant was imperative. She did so with ease, patience, AND a bang up team of EMDR Trainers!"

"The Institute for Creative Mindfulness' trainings have been pivotal in my career and my personal healing and growth path. EMDR therapy training has equipped me to be a competent trauma therapist - something that, in my opinion, is an ethical imperative for anyone working in the mental health field. The ICM consultants and practitioner community keeps me growing in my skills and knowledge, as well as supported by a vast and diverse community of professionals."
