Dr. Philip Manfield: I am a psychotherapist with over thirty years clinical experience. Over the years I have worked with and helped hundreds of individuals and couples through a wide range of difficulties. My style is respectful, interactive and dynamic, I've learned that there are a lot ways to help, to heal and to promote personal growth, and that no particular approach fits every person or situation. For example, for individuals with problems arising from recent traumatic events or from childhood trauma or neglect, whose parents may have been inconsistent or worse, I often combine EMDR with cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic strategies. I have two offices, one in Berkeley, CA and the other in Walnut Creek, CA.

Dr. Manfield has authored or edited three books and numerous articles about psychotherapy and the use of EMDR. An international trainer, he has taught in the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In January, 2001, he was honored to be featured in the book, "3 Minute Consultations with America's Greatest Psychotherapists." (Jason Aronson, Publishers) He is currently Northern California Regional Coordinator for the EMDR International Association..
