Meet the Educators

Laura Swinford

Therapy, to Laura, is about finding connection to self in a deep and meaningful way that when found, allows for the attachment to others and the expansion of one's life. This sacred journey can be walked in many ways. Therapy is just one way.

Laura is a trauma-informed therapist trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR and parts work. She believes that people make attempts at making what's wrong, right for themselves but can sometimes get lost and stuck. She holds space with compassion and acceptance and the message that there must be a good reason. So with curiosity and a deep belief that people innately know the way, her job as a therapist is to help shine one's light back onto their path so they can connect and find their way back to themselves.

Laurel Thornton

Laurel Thornton is the co-founder of the Whole Brain Institute and a lover of neuroscience and EMDR. She was trained by HAP in 2011 while she was a counseling Master's student at West Virginia University. She trained at a specialized private practice where she was mentored to use EMDR with all ages and with complex presentations of stress and trauma-based issues. 

Laurel is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and trainer. She has experience facilitating EMDR basic training and delivering advanced topic trainings that focus on the Neuroscience of EMDR and how to better embrace Neurodiversity in the practice of EMDR. Laurel believes that the AIP model has applications across theoretical models and also provides consultation to practice owners and therapists interested in growing their businesses.

“This has improved my EMDR practice in so many ways, and I was able to apply new techniques immediately after the workshop. I have learned how to identify and trust my intuition, attune to my clients, and to be more fluid in my use of EMDR to EMD, to apply interweaves, and to flow between phases instead of following them from phase one to 8 in a linear way. My sessions with clients have been much more graceful, like a dance that ties up and ends in a bow.”
