EMDR Certification COnsulTaTion
EMDR Certification Consultation can help clinicians better understand when to use EMDR and how to include it in their existing practices. Once you have completed EMDRIA approved EMDRIA training courses, you can then pursue becoming a Certified EMDR Therapist. I provide EMDR trained clinicians opportunities to develop their EMDR skills, improve application of the 8 stage protocol, and become Certified EMDR Therapists.
Individual and group EMDR Certification Consultation sessions are available, in person and by phone.
I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant in Training (CIT) for the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), with Advance Protocol training in addictions, dissociation, and somatics. As a CIT, I consult and work with Elizabeth West, MFT, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, EMDRIA Certified Therapist.
