About
Individual EMDR Consultation includes two individuals, an EMDR Consultant (or Consultant-In-Training) and the Consultee. It offers personalized, 1-1 guidance and support to those trained in EMDR therapy. Consultees must be trained in EMDR therapy and may receive individual consultation regardless of their interest in pursuing EMDR Certification.
Benefits for Individual EMDR Consultation include:
Individualized Guidance. Individual consultation allows space and time to dive into the clinician's specific needs, challenges, and goals with the EMDR modality.
Builds Confidence. EMDR can be a complex and nuanced therapy. Individual consultations allow clinicians to receive feedback and build confidence in integrating EMDR therapy with their specific caseloads.
Fidelity of the EMDR Model. Individual Consultation offers space and time to improve your skills in key areas of EMDR therapy. This may include understanding the 8 phases of EMDR therapy, mastering resourcing techniques, assessing client readiness, identifying and intervening when the client is stuck or looping, and effectively working within the client’s window of tolerance.
Flexibility & Convenience. Individual consultation sessions can be scheduled as needed based on the Consultant and Consultee's schedules. In person and virtual consultation options are available.
Certification Hours. Those working toward EMDR Certification are required to fulfill a certain number of individual consultation hours to meet eligibility. Check EMDRIA's website for the latest requirements.
