Consulting Services
for Clinicians
My goal is to better as many lives as possible.
I do that by using EMDR on a regular basis with my own clients,
but also by providing consultation to other clinicians
who want to improve their own understanding and delivery of EMDR.
Consultation is for clinicians who have the EMDR basic training
and want to work toward certification,
or who just want to increase their knowledge and application of EMDR.

EMDR CONSULTATION OPTIONS:

Understanding the EMDR certification process:
​
Being a Certified Therapist in EMDR is optional. Completing the EMDR Training Course fully qualifies one ethically, professionally, and within one’s standards of practice to provide EMDR in one’s clinical setting.
​
Upon completion of the training course, a therapist may at any time thereafter pursue becoming a Certified Therapist in EMDR.
​
To become Certified in EMDR, the applicant for the designation of EMDRIA Certified Therapist must meet the following criteria:
​
1) Completion of the EMDRIA Approved Training
