Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment approach that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR shows that the mind can, in fact, heal from psychological trauma much like the body recovers from physical trauma. In this episode, we feature expert Marisol Solarte-Erlacher, M.A., LPC. Marisol is a trauma expert, speaker, and trainer that specializes in post-traumatic growth and resilience. She is also the creator and host of the podcast Resilience and Resistance, which features successful Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color who have overcome trauma and become resilient.
As the primary therapist of her own practice, Marisol works with high-functioning adults who have experienced developmental trauma. She improves employee wellness and functionality as a consultant for corporations and nonprofits. Her dedication to Latino community is evident in her research and public-speaking engagements as well as through her previous work with the non-profits Sisters of Color United for Education.
A leader in her field, Marisol has served as a clinical supervisor, curriculum developer, report, writer, and board member for educational, non-profit, and governmental entities. She resides in Denver, CO and enjoys mountain adventures, coffee, and live music.
