IADC
THERAPY & TRAINING
an extraordinary tREATMENT for grief
with César Valdez, LMSW
IADC Co-Executive Director & Trainer
Developed by Dr. Allan Botkin, IADC Therapy is a brief, intensive intervention for grieving clients. As a derivative of EMDR Therapy, it implements vital changes to the standard EMDR protocol to target clients’ sadness associated with their loss. In a majority of cases, clients will experience a perception of connection with their deceased loved-one, resulting in a profoundly healing transformation of their grief.
César has presented on IADC Therapy at:
EMDR International Association Conference — Denver CO — September 2014
Veterans Mental Health Summit — Rochester IN — May 2017
Association for Death Education and Counseling Conference — Pittsburgh PA — April 2018
Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement — Live Webinar — April 2022

IADC Training
We offer a 1-day online training in the IADC Therapy method for EMDR (or similarly-trained) clinicians. IADC Training offers therapists a way to reliably guide clients through efficient processing of their sadness, and in a majority of cases, experience a healing perception of connection with their deceased loved one.
-
Drop-in Consultation
For those already trained in the IADC Therapy method, we offer regular 90-minute Drop-In Consultation sessions. These question and answer sessions foster deeper discussion about IADC principles and practice and also offer a great way to build community with other IADC therapists from around the world.

Clients are accepted on a limited basis only. All sessions are via videoconference for clients located in the state of Michigan at the time of treatment.
