EMDR Consultation
Small group and individual consultation for EMDR therapists working toward EMDRIA Certification.
Practice details
Formats
Small Group Consultation
Regular structure and peer learning. Groups are small so you get real presenting time.
Individual Consultation
For complex cases, recording review, or focused conceptualization work.
Both formats count toward EMDRIA Certification (up to 15 hours from a CIT).
What consultation looks like
Come with what's giving you trouble, not what's going well. I'll ask about your conceptualization, help you think through what might be happening for the client, and work with you on next steps. If something isn't working, we figure out why — not just try a different technique.
The foundation is the 8-phase protocol, the three-pronged approach, and the AIP model. I'll help you build genuine fidelity to standard EMDR, and develop the clinical judgment to know when and how to modify it. My caseload is almost entirely complex and developmental trauma — dissociation, attachment wounds, somatic flooding — so that's where I have the most to offer.
