LPC supervision and trauma therapy in Austin, Texas
Reem Glasco, LPC-S, is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in Austin, Texas, licensed since 2010 and holding supervisor status since 2016. She is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, a NARM therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. She sees adults and young adults for developmental trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, panic and depression, and supervises LPC Associates across the state.
The clinical center is IFS-informed EMDR: processing that consults a person's protective parts instead of overriding them, with Somatic Experiencing setting the pace. Supervision and consultation run online statewide, and some of the work happens on a trail or with horses.
It is the same lens whether you are a client or a supervisee. The difference is which side of the chair you are on.
The four ways Reem works with therapists
Supervision, consultation, ethics hours and retreats are different things, and most therapists arrive wanting one of them in particular. Everything is online statewide, except where being outdoors is the point. Supervision places are capped, so ask about current availability; consultation is scheduled as needed, and ethics hours and retreats run per offering.
LPC supervision
Your 3,000 hours, supervised online anywhere in Texas. Four hours a month, trauma-informed, with EMDR consultation included while you are here. If you are an associate working toward licensure, start here.
EMDR consultation
Hours toward certification with an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. Online, focused on IFS-informed EMDR for phases one and two.
Ethics CEUs
The six ethics hours Texas asks for each renewal period, on secondary trauma. One online, or two in person on a trail walk among horses.
Retreats and training
Mindful trail retreats and equine-assisted training for Texas therapists. For when the growth edge is yours rather than a client's.
How the four fit together
Most therapists buy these from four providers who have never met. Here the EMDR consultation is free while you are supervised, the ethics hours fill the half of your CE that needs an approved provider, and the same clinical lens runs through all four, so what you learn in one is usable in the next. Fees and formats side by side.
Four ways Reem works with clients
Reem sees a small number of adults and young adults for developmental trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, panic and depression. Most new clients start with one of the practice's six LPC Associates. Each brings their own training, listed on their card, and each is supervised by Reem, four hours a month, so a second experienced clinician is thinking about your case. Fees are lower and openings sooner.
IFS-informed EMDR
Internal agreement from the protective parts first, then processing.
Helps when EMDR has been tried before and stalled, or part of you wants this and part of you really does not.
Somatic Experiencing
The pace your nervous system can actually hold, built rather than tested.
Helps when anxiety lives in your chest and stomach more than in your thoughts, or talking about it has stopped helping.
NARM
The pattern underneath, and where it was learned.
Helps when the trouble is a lifelong pattern rather than one event, and understanding your history has not changed it.
Equine-assisted therapy
What the body does around a horse that notices everything.
Helps when you talk more easily with something else going on, or you are working on boundaries. Adults only.
These four interlock rather than alternate
Which one leads on a given day is a clinical decision rather than something you pick in advance. Preparation often runs for weeks before any processing, and the pattern work continues underneath all of it. The room is optional too: walk and talk sessions on a trail in central Texas, equine sessions near Dripping Springs. Fees, formats, who each path suits and what a first session looks like.
Something to try before we ever meet
For many people a longer out-breath than in-breath is settling, and one minute is enough to find out whether it is for you. If attending to your breath feels uncomfortable, skip the circle: notice your feet on the floor, or look around the room and name three things you can see. Stop whenever you like.
If the circle distracts you, ignore it and count: in for four, hold for two, out for six.
In for four, hold for two, out for six.
Effort-less Self-Care: 7 Easy Steps to Calm and Connection
Breath is one of the seven, in its own form there. The others are the same size: find a comfortable space, face the light, feel the body, name the emotion, ground through the senses. Each step pairs a watercolor with room to write beside it, so the workbook and the journal are one volume. Nothing in it needs fixing, and none of it takes long.
Start with a conversation
Supervision and consultation both begin with a free thirty-minute consult. Therapy begins with fifteen minutes. No obligation either way.
