One of the best ways to continue to grow as an EMDR therapist is to develop a strong sense of connection in the EMDR community and to create avenues for ongoing questions and support by participating in a consultation group.  The goal for consultation groups is not only for EMDR trained clinicians to further develop their understanding and implementation of EMDR therapy, but to feel involved in this growing field.

We offer individual consultation groups, group consultation for clinicians working toward  basic training or certification, groups working toward approved consultant status, and groups that  simply want to engage in ongoing support.

For EMDR trained clinicians working toward certification, we provide a detailed list of areas that should be understood in each phase, and will work with each consultee in individual consultation to discuss their strengths as an EMDR clinician and work with them to strengthen and grow in any necessary areas.

Both individual and group consultation are offered in HIPAA compliant video conferencing (Zoom).

Consultation:

We offer both individual and group consultation to many clinicians throughout the country.  We offer groups for clinicians that are working toward EMDR basic or certification, and general ongoing EMDR Consultation groups.

For group consultation with groups of 6-7, for two hours the rate is $60.

For consultation in pairs the rate is $40 for one hour, with groups of two.

For individual consultation, the rate is $100, for one hour and these are scheduled on an individual basis.

About group consultation:

• There are options for  Consultation groups for clinicians working toward their EMDR Basic or Certification that meet weekly on various days of the week.
• Group options meet via Zoom.
• There are options for one or two hour consultation groups.
• Some groups are closed groups, others are open.  Closed groups run in a more structured fashion and each meeting builds upon the meeting prior to that, so attendance at all meetings is recommended.

Consultation for Certification Groups for Clinicians that Specialize in Work with BIPOC populations and specializations in Sex therapy:

• There are special modifications that are often made in work with bipoc and sex related focus.  These consultation groups discuss those specifics and help clinicians master the art of integrating EMDR therapy into their work.

Consultation requirements for certification:

This involves receiving an additional twenty hours of consultation with an Approved Consultant in addition to their clinical work in addition to other EMDRIA requirements (see above).

We provides consultation for those therapists who need consultation to complete their EMDR therapy training,  and we welcome clinicians who have been trained through another provider (EMDRIA approved).

Additionally, we provide consultation for clinicians who have just completed EMDR therapy training and for those who have been utilizing it in their practices and are just seeking to deepen their understanding of it, or for those who are seeking EMDR Certification.

During consultation for certification, we will review:

• EMDR protocol
• Advanced applications of EMDR protocol
• Addressing Complex PTSD and Dissociation with EMDR protocol
• Integration of the protocol into specific cases
• Theoretical context
• Case conceptualization
• Target selection and sequencing
• Proper assessment for EMDR readiness
