Edd Conboy

Healing People, Healing Organizations

Edd is not your typical therapist. He combines his training and real world business experience in his effort to help clients get unstuck and create new pathways in their lives. Edd also works with individuals whose normal stress has advanced into a state of distress, including trauma and post traumatic stress syndrome, supporting them as they move into effective action, and begin to sustain joy in their lives as they strive to attain their life goals. He uses many modalities including EMDR and hypnotherapy.

In 2006 Edd was designated a Fellow with The Whitman Institute in San Francisco, California. Join Michael Lerner in a conversation with Edd about his work as a psychotherapist treating people with trauma and stress.
