Sarita Molinar, ATR, LPC, EYT-200
Sarita Molinar is an integrative mental health professional who strives to combine therapeutic modalities in a creative and holistic way. Her experience in education, art therapy, and yoga have allowed her to apply, first hand, the techniques that bring flow to self-discovery in herself and her clients.
In 2007, Sarita acquired a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art at Texas State University which launched her career as a Visual Artist in painting and fiber sculpture. In 2015, while perusing her Master’s at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana, she offered art therapy in public schools for Life Skills students as well as Dell Children’s Medical Hospital in Austin, TX. She then went on to train in Vinyasa, in 2021, with Black Swan Yoga for her own health and exploration of somatic therapy.
Sarita saw a need for enhanced group work in the community when working with at- risk youth in high school. She began her private practice in 2022, offering Art Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and iRest Yoga Nidra to teens and adults. She was accepted for the Be It! Foundation award to train in Advanced LENS Neurofeedback and most recently Francine Shapiro’s EMDR. Sarita will continue with EMDR Consultant training track to advance toward her own EMDR training program in the future. It is her goal to provide the most up to date and effective applications of EMDR to her community in South Texas and virtually.
Through an art therapy LENS, Sarita has explored and discovered numerous ways to spark her client’s creativity. In doing so, she feels that this can expand all threads of awareness and enhances the innate healing experience. Sarita recently won runner up for 2024 Austin’s Best Mental Health Professional in Austin Fit Magazine, bringing her increased notoriety for her unique approach to working with attachment, Identity, family, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, among many other issues, by applying a holistic approach to psychotherapy.
This session dives into the healing potential of imagery in therapeutic settings, exploring how it can activate the nervous system, regulate emotional responses, and promote trauma resolution. Through the lens of four therapeutic modalities—Art Therapy, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and iRest Yoga Nidra—participants will discover how imagery can facilitate emotional, cognitive, and energetic healing. Whether through art, processing, or guided meditation, imagery serves as a powerful tool for creating emotional shifts and fostering long-term mental health wellness. In this hands-on workshop, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these modalities work, the neurobiological mechanisms at play, and how you can explore these imagery-based techniques into your own clinical practice.

Dr. Linda Timme, DSW, MSW, LCSW, LCSW-C
Dr. Linda is a transformational leader and a passionate advocate for global wellness, dedicated to holistic mental health care. With over 15 years of experience, she has helped countless individuals through her innovative therapeutic approaches, immersive retreats, and professional development programs.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, Advanced Trainer, and EMDRIA-approved Consultant, Dr. Linda specializes in trauma recovery, couples therapy, and organizational leadership. Her work blends evidence-based therapies like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and SFT to empower clients and clinicians to tackle complex challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.
Dr. Linda's journey is truly inspiring. As a first-generation immigrant and dual citizen of the USA and Peru, she began her career as a psychologist in Peru, supporting Latinx and BIPOC/AAPI communities. After moving to the United States, she earned her Master’s and Clinical Social Work license and a Doctorate in Social Work: Leadership and Education. Her story embodies resilience and a deep commitment to enhancing mental health and wellness around the world.
As a thought leader, Dr. Linda loves to foster growth and resilience in others. She organizes and leads wellness retreats, including her signature Global Renew Retreats, which provide transformative experiences combining advanced therapeutic training and personal renewal. These retreats focus on connection, professional development, and personal growth, featuring engaging workshops on modern modalities, mindfulness, eco-therapy, and leadership skills. She tailors her workshops to meet the unique needs of therapists, clinicians, and leaders, equipping them with valuable tools for both their personal and professional lives.
Beyond her clinical and educational efforts, Dr. Linda is also an enthusiastic writer and researcher. She has shared her insights on telehealth, EMDR therapy, grief, and trauma recovery through various publications, and she is deeply committed to community and global wellness initiatives. Her contributions to the mental health field have earned her recognition, including the prestigious Candela Award.
At the heart of Dr. Linda’s mission is a desire to inspire healing, resilience, and connection. She guides individuals and professionals toward greater well-being, purpose, and fulfillment. Whether through her therapeutic work, leadership programs, or uplifting retreats, Dr. Linda is dedicated to making a positive and lasting impact on the lives she touches and the communities she serves.
This specialized clinical workshop equips mental health professionals and practitioners with trauma-informed, evidence-based strategies tailored for neurodiverse populations, including individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), and Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA). Standard therapeutic approaches often fail to address these individuals' complex cognitive, sensory, and behavioral needs. This training offers an integrated model that enhances accessibility and effectiveness in trauma-focused interventions.
Participants will learn to create supportive and inclusive therapeutic environments while mastering interventions that address the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with co-occurring conditions. Special attention is given to overcoming systemic barriers such as the scarcity of specialized providers, lack of culturally responsive materials, and limitations in traditional therapeutic models. This workshop actively embodies IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access) principles, ensuring that all individuals—regardless of cognitive abilities, identity, or background—receive equitable access to trauma-informed care.
This workshop integrates the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model as a foundational framework, seamlessly incorporating Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Sensory Integration, and Eco-Somatic Strategies within the standard 8-phase, 3-pronged EMDR protocol. This comprehensive, evidence-based approach enhances client engagement, optimizes memory reprocessing, and improves treatment outcomes—particularly for neurodivergent individuals.
The workshop also highlights the biological, psychological, and social impact of trauma on individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Through a combination of EMDR, sensory integration techniques, eco-somatic interventions, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, clinicians will be equipped to address trauma-related challenges with greater efficacy. Participants will gain practical skills to mitigate the lasting effects of trauma, foster resilience, and improve long-term healing and recovery outcomes for individuals with ASD, FASD, IDD, and PDA. By integrating innovative, multidisciplinary methods, clinicians can transform their approach and foster meaningful, lasting change in the lives of their clients.
