Receiving consultation from Sofia Mendoza, LCSW through her BIPOC EMDR and Trauma consult group has transformed the way I approach trauma therapy. Rather than focusing solely on trauma symptoms, she has challenged and supported me in looking more deeply at the whole person. Her consultation has grounded my practice in exploring the many identities my clients hold and understanding how those identities have shaped their lived experiences, the meanings they’ve attached to those experiences, and how trauma continues to show up in their lives. Through Sofia’s guidance, I’ve gained extensive knowledge in integrating IFS concepts and parts work into my EMDR practice. This has helped me better understand how protective and wounded parts develop, how they influence clients’ beliefs and cognitions, and how to approach healing with greater compassion and curiosity. What makes Sofia’s consultation especially valuable is her intentional focus on cultural humility and responsiveness. She consistently provides practical interventions and thoughtful frameworks for exploring the impact of race, culture, identity, systemic oppression, and intergenerational experiences within trauma work. As a Black clinician serving BIPOC communities offering EMDR, being led, guided, and mentored from Sofia has been invaluable to my work. Her consultation has equipped me with tools that allow me to better support clients who look like me and who often navigate trauma through the intersecting realities of racism, culture, family, and identity. Sofia creates a space where clinicians can deepen both their clinical skills and their own self reflection, ultimately allowing us to provide more meaningful, culturally responsive care. To any clinician looking to strengthen their trauma informed practice through an inclusive and identity centered lens , this consultation space is for you. – Ebony Reado, LCSW EMDR Therapist in Los Angeles, California
