Susie Morgan, LMFT, BCETS

I specialize in the treatment of PTSD and Complex Developmental Trauma. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA License LMFT41442) in private practice in Encinitas, CA. I am the Founder of Precision EMDR Academy, a boutique training agency dedicated to excellence in equipping and mentoring clinicians to provide safe and effective EMDR therapy. In developing Precision EMDR's Basic and Advanced Trainings, I have synthesized my own 20 years of clinical experience as an EMDR therapist treating Complex Developmental Trauma with curated wisdom from two decades of dedicated learning under the greats in the field. I have developed the Precision EMDR methodology to provide a practical, strategic approach to conceptualizing and treating Complex Trauma and Attachment. I was awarded the 2026 Emerging Leaders in EMDR by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). I was originally trained in EMDR therapy in 2005. I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist, have been an Approved Consultant since 2011, and have completed extensive advanced training in EMDR therapy and related physiologically-based intervention protocols for the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Dissociative Disorders, and other mental health conditions. I am an EMDRIA Approved Trainer and Credit Provider for provision of Basic Training and continuing education to EMDR therapists. I authored and created multiple professional trainings focused on readiness, target sequence planning, and advanced interventions for treating Complex Trauma and Attachment with EMDR, as well as The EMDR Readiness Course: Powerful First Steps to Heal & Transform Your Life Story, a self-help resource for clients and those considering EMDR therapy. In 2025, I presented my proprietary approach to visually illustrating how the model of EMDR therapy can be strategically utilized to understand and treat Complex Developmental Trauma at the EMDR International Association's Annual Conference: Map the Forest & Trees: AIP Conceptualizing of Complex Trauma & Attachment. In 2026, I presented for a second time at the EMDRIA Conference, providing an overview of the arc of the Precision EMDR methodology for strategically mapping complex trauma and repairing attachment patterns: EMDR Conceptualization in Complex Trauma and Attachment. In order to be able to effectively address the complexity of symptoms experienced by my clients, I continually pursue further development of my clinical skills. Early in my career, I completed California State Certification as a Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Advocate. I have completed the Certificate Program in Traumatic Stress Studies through leading trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk and The Mindsight Approach to Well-being: A Comprehensive Course in Interpersonal Neurobiology taught by Dan Siegel, MD. I am Board Certified by and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, a Diplomate of the National Center for Crisis Management, and a member of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. I have substantial training in Cognitive-Behavioral treatments for trauma, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, most significantly with David Burns of Stanford University. I achieved Level 3 Certification as an Advanced TEAM-CBT Therapist through the Feeling Good Institute, applying David Burns's cutting-edge approaches to assessment and treatment. I have been fully trained and accredited by the Amen Clinics and am a Certified HeartMath Practitioner through the Institute of HeartMath. I also completed a continuing education certificate in the treatment of Eating Disorders and worked with Team Mermaid, a women's triathlon association, in the development of a body image and self-esteem curriculum for the Mini-Mermaids Girls Running Club.
