Consultation Services

EMDR Consultation Groups offer a collaborative environment for EMDR-trained therapists to deepen their skills, gain case consultation, and receive support from peers and an experienced EMDR consultant. These groups focus on refining protocol adherence, addressing challenging cases, and integrating EMDR into complex clinical presentations. They also provide an opportunity to build confidence and competency, whether working toward certification or maintaining best practices. Participants can expect a nonjudgmental, growth-oriented space to enhance their effectiveness as EMDR practitioners while expanding professional connections.

• Be sure to review the Consultation Packet and become familiar with the consultation process. 
• The 20 hours of consultation must have been completed within the last 5 years. If you continue to receive consultation hours for over a 5 year period, then as long as the EMDR Consultant™ is able to explain in the letter of documentation when the consultation started and ended (e.g. 2013-2022) and if/when long breaks in consultation occurred that will be acceptable. We understand that clinicians may stop consultation and then restart again but we cannot accept consultation hours that concluded 5 or more years ago.

• At least 10 of the hours must be obtained through individual, EMDR-focused consultation. The remaining 10 hours may be obtained through small group consultation. Consultation groups cannot exceed more than eight participants at a time.
