Teaching has changed — and many educators are carrying far more than they were ever trained for.
These self-paced professional development courses are designed to support teachers directly, without requiring district approval, additional meetings, or more work added to already full plates.
This is not about fixing teachers.
It’s about understanding what’s happening — and responding in ways that are sustainable.
Meet the Educator.
Kathleen Horsey, LMFT
Founder & Lead Educator, EMERGE Consulting
I am a licensed therapist, educator, and school-based mental health clinician who has worked alongside teachers navigating trauma, post-COVID stress, and increasing classroom complexity.
I created these courses because too many teachers are being asked to hold systems together without adequate support. These PD experiences are designed to meet teachers where they are — with clarity, compassion, and practical relief.
Professional Development Courses
Teacher Burnout is Not a Personal Failure
A trauma-informed professional development experience focused on understanding burnout as a nervous system response — not a lack of resilience, effort, or dedication.
Best for: Teachers feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed, or questioning their capacity.
