EMDR consultation is a professional process in which an EMDR therapist seeks guidance and support from a more experienced clinician. The consultation typically involves discussing specific cases and sharing therapeutic experiences related to EMDR treatment. The purpose of EMDR consultation is to enhance the therapist's skills, ensure adherence to EMDR protocols, and promote effective and ethical practice. It provides an opportunity for the therapist to receive feedback, ask questions, and receive guidance to ensure optimal client care during EMDR therapy.
Our consultants are dedicated to getting you certified and are there to help you every step of the way.
Approximately 4 to 6 months. You'll choose 4 sessions from 12 options available over a 6-month period… ideally, you'll stretch these out over at least 4 months.

The live components of this training are designed to work best for the schedules of U.S.-based students. This means that if you're in a time zone that differs by 6 to 15 hours you may have some late nights or early mornings.
Many students find it worth doing, even if it disrupts their routine… but if a practice day that ends at 5pm CST means you'll be pulling an all-nighter, you'll only want to sign up if that's something you're willing to do.
