Liza Greville, LCSW

Liza is a Certified AEDP Therapist and Supervisor in private practice in Kane, Pennsylvania. She offers individual therapy to adults in Pennsylvania, New York and Montana, as well as individual and group consultation.

Liza was introduced to AEDP in 2016, immediately struck by the ‘art of therapy’ that bridges the brilliant complexity of AEDP theory and the simplicity yet potency of the interventions. She remains ever-curious, especially interested in clinical creativity, pragmatism and presence.

Similarly, Liza seeks to join consultees in an affirming and active learning process that integrates left-brain rigor and right-brain perceptivity. She works with consultees to build skills that deepen experiential processes, to understand AEDP’s 9+1 affective change mechanisms, and to expand naturalness of use of Self. She welcomes therapists new to the model, as well as those with more experience and seeking certification. (more…)

Ilene Yasemsky, LCSW

Ilene Yasemsky, LCSW. I first heard Diana present in Oakland in 2003.  I sat in an empty conference room for over an hour after her presentation ended, writing things I wanted to say to all my clients.  AEDP became my clinical home from that day on. 

Fast forward 17 years—post-immersions, 3 years of Core Training, assisting multiple times at ES1 and ES2, and hours of precious individual supervision—I am still a striving therapist and inspired student of AEDP, a model that continues to deepen and expand. 

AEDP has held me (and vice versa) in my private practice in Berkeley, where I see a combination of individuals, couples, and families, and in my role as the Clinical Director of an AEDP-informed acute adolescent psychiatric hospital in the east bay.  I love the concept of transformance, how it is always there to spur us to change for the better and, especially at this moment in time, I am betting every day on the good trouble transformance brings to the condition of our humanity. 

Being an experiential assistant is a chance for me to emulate and honor the teachers and supervisors I have had and to help make it safe and fun to learn this model I love.

John Wiskind, LCSW, MPH

John Wiskind, LCSW, MPH was born and raised in Ohio, I’m itching to travel and my husband and I are so glad our son is now a rising 5th grader.  I’m a LCSW in the Bay Area in California.  I completed Immersion in 2012 followed by Core Training, ES1 & ES2.  I’ve been working with a faculty supervisor for the last 4 years and have had the honor of assisting at various trainings. 

Working with fellow therapists to enhance their understanding and application of the model gives me a lot of joy, especially because AEDP has been so professionally and personally transformative and I like being a part of that for other clinicians.  Assisting and being an experiential group member have, for me, been some of the most profound and impactful learning experiences along my AEDP journey. 

I am tremendously grateful for each of those experiences and fellow clinicians.  Even in the midst of the global health pandemic and the pandemic of racial injustice, I’m finding AEDP a beacon of hope and groundedness and look forward to jumping into this work together.
