When a comprehensive approach beyond EMDR basic training is important.
You want to feel more confident in using this amazing psychotherapy because basic training was a lot of new information to take in and retain. You might feel comfortable in some phases and not so comfortable in others, or you may struggle with conceptualizing cases because you’re still trying to understand Adaptive Information Processing (AIP). You want some support but your schedule is already packed and committing to another year of consultation just feels overwhelming, so you need a more personalized option with a nice mix of didactic refreshing as well as case consulting and advanced practice options.
Here you’ll find a more boutique style of options because we schedule based on your personal goals and timeline! I offer lots of flexibliblity because let’s face it, life calls for it. Whether you want or need to meet frequently through an intensive format, or space out hours for longer support and practice, my comprehensive consultation ensures all phases of the standard protocol are covered and more importantly, competently understood. A supportive space is offered in-person or online, whether ‘as needed’ for case conceptualization or for those specifically interested in certification.
Having been a teaching assistant at EMDR basic trainings and now an EMDRIA Approved Credit Provider for continuing education trainings and workshops, as well as adjunct faculty at both graduate and undergraduate levels of university, I pride myself in delivering information in a practical way. I am passionate about coming alongside therapists to provide the support we need as fellow humans, to normalize the common struggles we often share, and to ensure that the therapists I work with feel competent in their skillset so they can continue to do this beautiful healing work! Be sure to take a look at my specialties and feel free to contact me via email to discuss fit and scheduling. Rate options can be found here.
There are several different reasons a therapist seeks EMDR consultation. Things I tend to hear:
“I’ve completed basic training, but it was a lot of information and I’m struggling to apply what I’ve learned.”
“I completed basic training, but I don’t feel as competent as I’d like so I don’t even use EMDR in my practice.”
“I completed my training years ago and could use a little refreshing.”
“I only feel comfortable using EMDR in person, so I don’t offer it online.”
“I feel pretty confident, but I have a tough case that I’d like to consult on.”
“I’ve completed basic training and I want to get certified!”
“I want to transition my practice to an intensive model or start offering intensive options.”
