Hoai-Thu Truong, PhD
Hoai-Thu Truong a Certified AEDP Therapist and Supervisor, currently based in France. She has been licensed as a psychologist in California since 2004, and has been involved in AEDP since 2012. In addition to AEDP her background includes psychodynamic, Jungian and psychoanalytic approaches to psychotherapy. Prior to becoming a clinical psychologist, Hoai-Thu had a 20-year career in biochemistry and biophysics (Biophysics PhD from Stanford University). With her American, French and Vietnamese cultural roots she is fascinated by issues of culture, and how culture shapes our view of ourselves and of the world and what we take for granted; she brings this experience into her clinical and supervision work. In her private practice in California she worked with (among others) Silicon Valley professionals, people with international backgrounds and university students, in areas including trauma, multicultural issues, and spirituality and religion. She provides therapy in both English and French.
She currently lives in France and is semi-retired. She delights in providing training, consultation and AEDP supervision in English and in French to licensed clinicians. She sees her role as a supervisor to not just teach AEDP therapy, its perspectives and interventions, as well as integration with other forms of treatment, but also to facilitate the professional development of her supervisees. Her goal is that each supervisee-clinician find their particular therapy style, in their own voice.
Dana Baerger, PhD
I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and a Certified AEDP Therapist and Supervisor. I enjoy combining “left-brain” precision with “right-brain” practice to support therapists’ clarity and intentionality in their work. I emphasize clinical reasoning, model fluency, thoughtful intervention selection, and attunement to client state markers. I integrate deliberate practice principles into consultation so I can meet clinicians at their growth edge and support their ongoing skill development. I also prioritize therapists’ self-confidence and self-compassion!

Shelley Carr
I’m a psychotherapist in private practice in Wiltshire, UK, with over 16 years’ experience, currently working online internationally. Earlier in my career, I spent 9 years practicing, teaching, and supervising Equine Facilitated Therapy with individuals and groups—an experience that continues to inform my attunement to embodiment, relational presence, and experiential learning.
Since completing a Postgraduate Diploma in working with PTSD and Complex Trauma in 2013, my client work has focused on developmental trauma. I’m committed to offering a safe, affirmative, and inclusive space to a diverse range of clients and supervisees, and, as a lesbian, I feel particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community.
After hearing Diana Fosha speak in 2017, I immediately signed up for the first Immersion in the UK and have been hooked ever since. I became a Certified AEDP Therapist in February 2023 and a Certified Supervisor in 2026. I have also assisted with numerous AEDP trainings, including Immersion, ES1, and Advanced Skills Modules.
As a supervisor, I aim to co-create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported to bring your whole self. My style is warm, collaborative, and playful, with a focus on curiosity and connection. I have experience supporting supervisees across different stages of their AEDP journey, from post-Immersion through to Level 3.
Supervisees have shared how our work together helps undo shame from previous experiences and supports them to feel more confident, affirmed, and more fully themselves in their clinical work.

Yuko Kobayashi, LMHC, LPCC
Hi, I’m Yuko Kobayashi, LMHC (New York), LPCC (California), a certified AEDP therapist and supervisor. Originally from Japan, I have lived and worked in the United States for over 20 years, and my clinical and supervisory work is deeply informed by a bicultural perspective.
My approach to supervision is experiential, collaborative, and grounded in the transformational spirit of AEDP. I see supervision as more than a place to learn theory and technique—it is also a space where you can experience and strengthen your own transformance: the innate drive toward growth, healing, and fuller expression of your therapeutic self.
I strive to create a supportive environment that helps you recognize and build upon your existing strengths while trusting the capacities that are naturally emerging within you. At the same time, growth often involves gently exploring beyond familiar ways of working. Within a safe, collaborative, and sometimes playful learning environment, we can experiment together, discover new possibilities, and identify areas for further development. My goal is to support you in expanding your clinical skills, deepening emotional processing, and increasing confidence in applying AEDP interventions—not by becoming a version of someone else, but by becoming a more fully realized version of yourself as an AEDP therapist.
I am passionate about helping therapists connect AEDP theory with embodied learning so that the model becomes something you can feel, trust, and integrate into your own authentic clinical style. Through video review and reflective dialogue, I support you in translating AEDP concepts into moment-to-moment clinical practice.
One of my special interests is supporting therapists who work with Asian American, bicultural, immigrant, and multicultural clients. Together, we can explore how AEDP helps us understand the impact of family expectations, attachment wounds, intergenerational trauma, cultural identity, and the challenges of living between different cultural worlds.
I have presented at AEDP Immersion trainings in the United States and taught in numerous AEDP workshops and trainings throughout Japan. I have also supported AEDP trainings at all levels—including Immersion, Essential Skills, and Advanced Skills—as both a Lead Assistant and Experiential Assistant. Through my work in both countries, I remain committed to helping therapists deepen their AEDP practice while contributing to the growth of the AEDP community across cultures.
Whether you are pursuing certification, seeking greater confidence in your AEDP work, or looking for support in working with multicultural and bicultural clients, I would be honored to accompany you in your learning journey.
Warmly,
Yuko Kobayashi

Wendy Summer, LPC
I’m Wendy Summer, and I offer AEDP supervision for both therapists and supervisors. In general, my approach to supervision balances left and right brain learning; this means that we will attend to your internal experience, support your faith in yourself and stay rooted in the
theory and practice of AEDP. Overall, my style is warm, supportive, and playful at times. I believe that play and laughter make it easier to explore and make mistakes. One of my current passions is to support all of us – myself included! – in letting go of perfectionism and embracing learning as a process.
In addition to learning about the model, one of my main goals in supervision is to support you in fully stepping into being your best AEDP therapist (or supervisor) self. For me, this means helping you to expand into being that unique self – not a copy of me or a faculty member or even Diana. Because no one can be you, and I maintain a deep faith in the importance of you bringing you to this work.
Some other details about me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor and have been in practice for more than 20 years in Charlottesville, Virginia. Here in Virginia, I have been instrumental in growing a robust regional community of AEDP therapists; in that role, I have served as president and vice president of our local AEDP steering committee. I currently serve as the Chair of AEDP Supervisors and am a member of the AEDP Supervisor Review Committee.
Finally, I have a specialty practice treating young adults and young professionals. If you work with these populations, you can check out my Transformance journal article that details how I have adapted AEDP for young adults. That said, I have years of experience working with supervisees who treat clients of all ages – young adults are just an area of expertise. If you are interested in exploring working together, I offer a free 20-minute Zoom chat. Just shoot me an email to connect!
Warmly, Wendy Summer
