EMDR Consultation

As a Consultant-In-Training, I provide consultation services to therapists that are learning EMDR and those working toward becoming certified through EMDRIA. I am passionate about helping other EMDR therapists learn how to use EMDR as an integrative psychotherapy for treating a wide range of issues.

What I Offer

EMDR Certification Support

Working towards EMDR certification? I provide 15 of the required 20 consultation hours at a reduced rate. My consultation services are mentored by Deany Laliotis, founder of the Center for Excellence in EMDR. Deany worked closely with the creator of EMDR, Francine Shapiro, for many years and has developed an integrative approach to EMDR.

Non-Judgmental Space

My aim in EMDR consultation is to foster a judgment-free environment, supporting you at any point in your learning journey. As therapists, we might think there are things we "should" already know, and that can stop us from asking. It doesn't matter how long ago you learned or how much you've used EMDR – I want you to feel comfortable with any topic you want to bring up.

Integrate EMDR into Your Practice

After years of extra training, I've learned there isn’t one “right” way to practice EMDR. I'll help you integrate it into your existing skills. You shouldn't feel the need for extensive additional training before being effective.
