EMDR Consultation: From Training to Confident Practice

A supportive, collaborative space to deepen your EMDR skills, strengthen your clinical confidence, and move toward certification.

EMDR Certification Pathway

This program is designed for therapists who have completed an EMDR Basic training. After completing your EMDR training and receiving your certificate of completion, you can continue your professional journey through consultation with an EMDRIA Approved Consultant or Consultant-In-Training.



Get Started

Our process is simple and thoughtful.

What We Focus On

Our goal is to support you in building a strong and sustainable foundation in EMDR Therapy that will benefit both you and your clients. Throughout the consultation process, we emphasize becoming a mindful and intentional therapist, grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model developed by Francine Shapiro.

A Supportive & Collaborative Learning Space

This is a space where you will be supported, encouraged, and challenged in your growth as an EMDR therapist. Together, we will:

  • Strengthen your confidence in the 8 phases of EMDR

  • Work through clinical challenges and “stuck” points

  • Deepen case conceptualization skills

  • Integrate EMDR with your existing therapeutic approaches
