Julia Jalalat is now a certified AEDP Therapist!!!
I had the good fortune of being Julia’s Certification supervisor working closely with her on the transcriptions of her work with her clients. Our discussions were lively and informative and educative for me as well as for Julia. Her ability to invite me fully into the sessions and feel the work with her was very powerful.
Julia is thoroughly engaged with her clients. On display in her work is her clinical skillfulness, her easeful attunement and the way in which that fosters a stance of secure attachment. Her work demonstrates how she weaves AEDP principles and skills into her practice with adept skill and authenticity.
Her commanding and deeply caring presence is not something that can be taught. Julia lives into the work in a bold and deeply authentic relational way.
Ilene writes of her experience of working closely with Julia..

Dear community,
It is a true pleasure and honor to announce that Stephen McDonnell is now a certified AEDP Supervisor.
I first got to know Stephen in the sixteen-session AEDP Research weekly supervision group. His attuned, gentle, and yet persistent work with clients stood out immediately. Over time, those same qualities became even more apparent in how he showed up as a peer in the group—finding just the right words to ease anxiety, highlight the positive, or offer another lens or intervention to fellow research therapists.
Watching Stephen step into the role of supervisor during the certification process only deepened what I already knew: he is a natural and gifted supervisor as well as a highly skilled AEDP therapist.

Overview: Deliberate practice exercises help trainees achieve competence in essential accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy skills and apply them in a variety of contexts while honing their own personal style.
These exercises present role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a therapist, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The therapist improvises appropriate and authentic responses to client statements organized into three difficulty levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

Dear Community,
It is with great pleasure that I share wonderful news: Michael Mondoro LCSW will be joining the AEDP Institute Adjunct Faculty. We are delighted to welcome the depth of experience, dedication, and vision that Michael brings to the AEDP community.
Michael’s journey with AEDP began in 2012 and has clearly been one of deep commitment and continuous growth. His teaching evaluation scores speak to his exceptional ability to engage and inspire learners. Michael’s specialization in complex trauma and trauma-related dissociation brings highly valuable clinical depth that will benefit participants. This also addresses a need in our course offerings that we have become increasingly aware of. Alongside his deep immersion in AEDP, Michael brings a wealth of experience from complementary clinical models, enriching his teaching with a broad and integrative perspective. His self-described “intuitive, down-to-earth style,” combined with warmth, humor, and attunement to diverse learning needs, is a gift that aligns perfectly with AEDP’s ethos of undoing aloneness in the learning environment.
