WELCOME TO IRIS
Where therapists come to grow, challenge the status quo, and find deep connection in learning. We’re here to expand, inspire, and disrupt in all the best ways.
ABOUTÂ Â US
 At IRIS Training Collective, we know therapy isn’t just something you read about — it’s something you live. That’s why all our trainers still carry full caseloads while teaching, so what we share with you comes straight from the therapy room, not just the textbook.
We started IRIS to create the kind of training we wished for ourselves: engaging, thoughtful, and full of those “aha” moments that stay with you long after the training ends. Think less lecture, more lightbulb.
Here, you’ll find practical tools, big-picture perspective, and a community that reminds you why you fell in love with this work in the first place.Â

WHY
IRIS
Â
IRIS, the Greek goddess of rainbows, a symbol of connection, transition, and transformation.
The iris symbolizes healing, vision, and transformation. In EMDR, eye movement supports recovery; in Greek myth, Iris carried messages on a rainbow between worlds. For us, she reflects connection, hope after storms, and the full spectrum of human experience — a reminder that even in challenge, there is light and growth.
