EETraining & Consulting, the sister company of East End Therapists, was founded by Jennifer McCaslin, LPC, and Allison Spinneweber, LCSW. Their professional partnership began in 2007, when Jen helped Allison land her first clinical position after graduate school. This was an introduction that quickly grew into a lasting friendship. For nearly two decades, they have worked side by side in community mental health and later transitioned into building their private practices together.

In 2015 (top left pic), Jen and Allison traveled to Charleston, South Carolina to complete EMDR Basic Training. They returned energized and began integrating EMDR into the majority of their clinical work. Both witnessed profound, positive changes in their clients’ lives and found that their own clinical work felt more effective, sustainable, and deeply rewarding.

Allison and Jen have built a reputation on being experienced therapists who bring deep clinical knowledge together with a grounded, approachable teaching style. Known for being genuinely supportive and trauma-informed, they create learning spaces where therapists feel safe, respected, and encouraged to grow. Their down-to-earth presence, real-world examples, and good energy make complex concepts feel accessible and meaningful. Above all, they understand the realities of clinical work and teach in a way that is practical, compassionate, and easy to integrate into everyday practice.
