Are You a Mental Health Professional Wanting to Become Certified in EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. EMDR has been extensively researched and shown to be an effective treatment for trauma. The EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) offers training and certification for mental health professionals. If you are already an EMDRIA trained clinician and would like become certified, I can provide the required consultation.

EMDRIA Certification Consultation

Carmen Gehrke, LMHC, is a bilingual (Spanish) psychotherapist in private practice In Palm Beach Gardens, FL. Her interest in EMDR started years ago when her therapist implemented EMDR to address symptoms of trauma. Back them Carmen was just starting graduate school and promised herself that when the time was right, she will learn more about EMDR and use it to help others to move on from the past and to start enjoying their life’s and to look forward to their futures. Carmen graduated with a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling and a Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of South Florida in 2010. She is licensed in Florida, Delaware, and Pennsylvania and maintains a hybrid practice. Carmen’s practice is focused on treating adults with complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, developmental trauma, anger management, and attachment trauma. Carmen bilingual skills in combination with her clinical training allows her to help members of the Hispanic community to heal form the effects of cultural and generational trauma. She understands migrating to a new country and feeling part of two cultures has a deep effect on how we see ourselves. Carmen trained in EMDR in 2013. She is an Approved Consultant with a strong interest in assisting clinicians to grow their skills honoring the needs and wants of their clients while honoring their own reactions and process as clinicians in session so feeling “stuck” is never a problem but an opportunity to grow. She believes being part of each client’s journey of healing is an honor and that consultation is part of each clinician’s duty to provide the best clinical work but also a mature way to keep an eye on our work and prevent feeling burn out. Carmen has a strong interest in empowering bilingual clinicians who perhaps received their EMDR training in English and/or work with client whose English is their second language to know how to handle the effect of cultural and language barriers in their clinical work. She provides individual and group consultation in person and virtually in English and Spanish As an EMDRIA Approve Consultant, I provide consultation to EMDR trained clinicians who are working their certification in EMDRIA. In order to become certified with EMDRIA, EMDR trained clinicians are required to receive 20 hours of consultation.
