  • Understanding EMDR Therapy: Interview with Corrie Van Horne

    Today, on the podcast, we have a very special guest, Corrie Van Horne.

    Corrie Van Horne is a therapist, dietitian, and founder of Reverie—a radical therapy practice and emerging community space for healing, transformation, and reclamation.

    Her path to this work began during a profound personal awakening in her early thirties. After experiencing a divorce, religious trauma, and deep grief, Corrie found herself questioning the systems and beliefs she was raised within. What began as rupture became revelation—a call to heal, to remember, and to step into her power.

    A pivotal experience in Egypt, standing before the goddess Sekhmet, revealed the name Reverie—a word rooted in reverence. That moment marked the turning point of a soul-led journey toward helping others reconnect with their own sacredness.

    Corrie’s understanding of healing is deeply informed by her lived experience. Through loss, trauma, and the courage to come out later in life, she discovered that pain can be a teacher and that healing is not about fixing, but remembering—coming home to wholeness, to truth, to the divine within.

    In her work, Corrie draws from depth psychology, EMDR, Relational Cultural and Queer Theories, and a reverent, body-based spirituality. Her approach is intuitive, compassionate, and rooted in justice. She believes the therapy room can be a container for liberation—a place to transform pain into power, shame into softness, and disconnection into embodied presence.

    Clients often describe Corrie as deeply grounded, intuitive, and nonjudgmental. She listens with her whole being, creating space for people to be fully seen and gently held accountable to their soul’s unfolding.

    Her work speaks especially to the soul curious—those who may have lost their way and are ready to return to their wholeness, to remember what they came here to do.

    When she’s not in session, Corrie tends to her own healing through ritual, time in nature, travel, and moments of connection with loved ones. She believes liberation embodies a sense of calm, peace, and connection to Self and others—and that every being holds the capacity to return to that state of grace.
