ABOUT US

Our Inspiration: The Survivor Tree

Callery Counseling was named after the Callery Pear tree, famously known as the Survivor Tree of 9/11. Despite enduring fire and destruction, this tree was nursed back to health and continues to thrive in New York City today. Its seeds are shared with communities that have faced trauma as a symbol of hope and resilience.

Founder Ardenna Downing was deeply moved by the tree’s story during a visit and saw it as a powerful metaphor for the human experience. At Callery Counseling, we believe that, like the Survivor Tree, individuals can grow stronger and flourish even after enduring life's greatest challenges.

EMDR CERTIFIED THERAPIST

What is the difference between a trained and certified therapist?

An EMDR Certified Therapist has engaged in at least 20 hours of consultation with an EMDR Consultant for EMDR and has practiced their skills with at least 25 different clients in at least 50 EMDR sessions. An EMDR Certified Therapist has voluntarily met standards of consultation, clinical practice, and continuing education to provide EMDR therapy. An EMDR Certified Therapist is committed to fulfill ethical standards and is engaged in continuing education. To maintain this certification, a therapist must continue to satisfy the EMDRIA requirement including completion of continuing education requirements and adherence to ethical standards.
