Qadashyah Israel, LCSW, E

Supervisee in Social Work, LCSW-E

Hello! As a former military member and currently a military spouse, I have gained a broad understanding of life and finding balance.  I believe communication is key and it requires both parties working together to reach the intended goal.  My EMDR training has equipped me with the knowledge to properly deal with trauma as well as other issues relative to the treatment process.  I believe that your diagnosis doesn’t define who you are; instead, you decide how it influences your character. Let’s embark on this journey together to enhance your ability to handle life’s challenges.
