Meet the founders of Playful EMDR

Learn why EMDR and Play Therapy should be integrated.

Welcome to Playful EMDR!

We are a home for the growing community of EMDR therapists and Play Therapists working to give children the best possible treatment!  Ann Beckley-Forest and Annie Monaco specialize in EMDR therapy for children and teens as well as being Registered Play Therapists.  The trainings offered through Playful EMDR are interactive and practical, and we are striving to articulate a model of trauma treatment that fully integrates the EMDR protocol with the therapeutic powers of play. We are happy to be promoting and supporting the innovative work of our colleagues who are partners in these approaches as well. We are glad you found us.

What other clinicians are saying about us

The workshop was phenomenal!! I learned so much wonderful and useful information.

Houston 2019

This really helped me to conceptualize how to integrate the two models and affirm the flexibility in EMDR

Dallas 2018

This training was FANTASTIC! The two of you work so well together and created a relaxed environment for learning (even with the complexities of being online!). I am so appreciative of the many resources/evaluation tools given. I will definitely be taking more courses with both of you. Thank you so much for this great experience

Online 2020

Already planning how to integrate into my practice. Very helpful tools for my population.

EMDRIA 2018

The EMDR course was by far one of the best trainings I have ever taken. I wish I could have taken it years ago. You are an exceptional instructor! You communicated the information in a clear and understandable manner. I ended the training inspired!
