EMDR Consultation

Gaining confidence with EMDR is essential for clinicians.

You have discussed doing EMDR with one of your clients, and she expressed excitement. Considering her long trauma history, you are confident that implementing EMDR could help her heal.

You are excited but wonder, “What if she gets stuck or gets too distressed, and I don’t know what to do?”

I hear you! Feeling confident about your skills and clear about what to do in each moment is essential. A consultation from someone experienced with EMDR can help you gain more confidence.

What’s next?

“I just finished my EMDR Basic Training. Now what? I don’t even know where to start.”

I am so excited for you! Your hard work getting trained in EMDR therapy is the beginning of a new journey in your career, and guess what? You will always be learning; the more you practice your skills, the more comfortable you feel.

You always want to do what is best for your client. While considering that a lot happens in an EMDR session, you know that you also need to take care of yourself as a professional and human being.

EMDR Consultation helps you gain confidence.

You have learned the basics of EMDR, but many clinicians still have concerns or want more training.

“I want to feel confident implementing EMDR.”

“I want to be clearer about how to use EMDR to help my clients.”

“I want to know how to modify the standard protocol.”

“I want to connect with other clinicians who share my passion for EMDR and learn together.”

“I am bilingual and would like to be able to implement EMDR in English and Spanish.”

As a bilingual EMDR consultant, we can work through all these topics.

As someone experienced with EMDR, I will help you strengthen your ability to understand the EMDR Therapy approach to psychotherapy. This time together will help you develop your skills and gain confidence.

While working together, I can help you master conceptualization skills to think out of the box and develop a more robust treatment plan. Each client process is different, and I can help you know when and how to modify the standard protocol to care for what is needed.

I am from Peru, so Spanish is my first language – I am confident in helping you establish a bilingual approach. If working with other therapists is important, I provide group consultation to support and learn from each other.

What does it mean to get certified?

You feel confident about your EMDR skills; this modality is one of your specialties. You want to emphasize your skills, training, experience, and education.

Getting certified is the best way to do it. Your clients will see this as a great indicator of your skills, confidence, and growth.

For more information on the EMDR certification requirements and to learn if you are eligible, please visit the following link: EMDRIA Certification Requirements.

One of the requirements is 20 hours of Consultation with an EMDR Consultant. At least 10 of the 20 hours need to be Individual Consultation. We can work together to take your EMDR practice to the next level. I offer Consultation individually or in a group.

Individual Consultation can move you forward.

We will discuss your cases in depth while strengthening your clinical skills and tracking how your reactions impact your conceptualization of a case and treatment planning.

Whether you are new to EMDR or have been a practitioner for a long time, Individual Consultation allows you to be more specific on your and your clients’ needs, so your work can be effective and efficient.

One client commented about Individual Consultation: “Working with Carmen has sharpened my clinical skills in general and my skills using EMDR in my practice.”

Group Consultation for Certification is possible.

Group Consultation is ideal for clinicians new to EMDR or who recently completed the Basic Training, are ready to start implementing EMDR Therapy, and want to feel more confident. Participation in this group will help you meet the criteria for certification.

The goals of group consultation are as follows:

• To deepen your understanding of the AIP (Adaptive Information Processing) model
• Successfully implement EMDR psychotherapy in addition to your existing skills
• Comfortably identify clinical themes
• Develop efficient and effective conceptualization skills to implement a successful treatment plan
• Review your work and other participants’ work implementing EMDR
• Connect with yourself as a therapist when helping others in their healing journey

In each Consultation session, we need to be mindful of what is happening to our clients and what is happening to us as clinicians.

How does group consultation work?

Sometimes, our stuff can get in the way of our work. This group will help you navigate that challenge. One client said, “I’m very grateful to have found this group when I found it and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to feel supported, guided, and encouraged in their journey to become a skilled EMDR clinician.” 

The group meets virtually once a month for two hours in a series of five monthly sessions. The series starts in February and September.
