• EMDR CONSULTATION •
Consultation is both for those in the midst of training AND for those going towards Certification in EMDR.
CONSULTATION FOR COMPLETION OF EMDR THERAPY TRAINING: EMDR Therapy trainees are responsible for arranging and paying for their 10 hours of supplementary consultation. 10-Hours of Consultation with an EMDRIA-approved consultant on our team is required. Usually 4-6 hours are completed between the Part 1 and Part 2 trainings, with the remainder done after completing Part 2. All of these hours may be done in a group setting. Our team members' fees vary depending on their availability and geographical location. You will receive more information on booking consultation at the Part I training. For more information about our Consultants, their specializations and fees, and to see a calendar of currently scheduled consultation groups, see the links below. Completion of consultation is required before a Certificate of Completion in EMDR Therapy Training can be awarded. Upon finishing the tenth hour, trainees submit documentation of consultation hours to their Part II trainer who records their completion and issues a Certificate of Training Completion. Upon completion the therapist may refer to themselves as an EMDR therapist or EMDR practitioner.

CONSULTATION TOWARD EMDRIA CERTIFIED THERAPIST STATUS: Going beyond initial trainings to attain the EMDRIA Certified Therapist designation requires 20 additional hours of consultation, 10 of which must be individual. Certification level is not required to practice EMDR therapy, but I strongly recommend it. My own experience with consultation at this level gave me the confidence to move forward with EMDR therapy as a primary modality in my practice.
CONSULTATION TOWARD EMDRIA APPROVED CONSULTANT STATUS: Becoming an EMDRIA Approved Consultant requires 20 hours of Consultation-on-Consultation. If you are at this stage of your EMDR therapy career, please contact me directly to discuss whether I might be a good fit for your consultation hours.
