Our Parnell Institute faculty has a depth and breadth of experience difficult to find elsewhere. But even more, they understand the need for a compassionate approach when working with those who have experienced trauma. Our classroom models the experience we want our clinicians to provide their clients: supportive and organized, with a relational focus that prioritizes safety.


Dr. Parnell has provided a hopeful and healing life-line to my college-age clients and young adults who are vulnerable to the challenging temptations and pressures to use, or are already caught in the rip-tide of substance abuse. Not only does this exciting book bring a compassionate understanding of the early issues that can give rise to many addictions, but it is full of solid and user-friendly treatment suggestions to stabilize, resource, and change the addicted brain towards health and wholeness.

Dr. Parnell has written a hopeful and user-friendly book that is a paradigm shift in the field of addictions. Rewiring the Addicted Brain reframes the painful and clinically challenging issue of addictions and is full of treatment suggestions that can be understood and applied by anyone who reads it – clinicians of every stripe, and lay people as well.

In her latest offering, Parnell adds her perspective to a growing collection of EMDR-related interventions on a topic that is near and dear to my heart, addiction recovery. Clinicians and human services workers with a passion for healing the suffering caused by and connected to addiction receive plenty of new ideas for working with clients… You can never have too many strategies for helping individuals struggling with chemical dependency, process addictions, and co-dependency issues.
