• EMDR consultation is tailored to your clinical needs and stage of development. Common topics include:

  • Case conceptualization using the 8-phase EMDR model

  • Target selection and identifying negative/positive cognitions

  • Assessment and preparation strategies, especially for complex or dissociative clients

  • Resourcing techniques (e.g., Calm Place, containment, ego states work)

  • Fidelity to protocol and understanding when and how to modify

  • Navigating blocked processing or looping

  • Working with abreactions, dissociation, or stuck points

  • Ethical decision-making and scope-of-practice considerations

  • Integration of complementary modalities, like ego state therapy, somatic approaches, Polyvagal Theory, HeartMath, or Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (when appropriate)

  • Readiness for certification and how to prepare for submitting your EMDRIA application

  Each session is interactive and collaborative, with space for questions, discussion, and reflection.

Individual Consultation:

• Begins with a brief check-in to identify goals or follow up on previous topics

• Focuses on case conceptualization, fidelity to the EMDR protocol, or clinical questions

• May explore techniques for stuck points or adaptations for complex trauma

• Can include integration of modalities such as:

  • Ego state work (e.g., IFS-informed or DNMS)

  • Somatic and Polyvagal-informed strategies

  • Resourcing and preparation strategies

• Ends with key takeaways and follow-up steps

Group Consultation:

• Opens with a group check-in and overview of intentions

• Includes one or more case presentations from group members

• Encourages collaborative discussion, feedback, and shared learning

• May include a focused discussion on clinical themes such as:

  • Target selection

  • Cognitive interweaves

  • Ethical use of adaptations

• Closes with group reflection and hour tracking (if applicable for certification)

• Online Group Consultation: $50/person/hour

• Individual Consultation: $125/hour

Yes! Client case consultation is a key part of our sessions. You’re encouraged to bring anonymized client cases for discussion, and we’ll collaboratively explore strategies and tools to address them.

Here’s a list of my trainings and supervisions:

• EMDR Consultation for certification (ShaQuan Read 14 hours)

• EMDR Consultation for certification (Thomas Zimmerman, 5 hours)

• EMDR Basic Training (EMDR Institute 40 Hours)

• Healing the Heart and Soul of Our Nation’s Warriors: EMDR for Moral Injury (EMDRIA 3 hours)

• Preparing Dysregulated, Dissociative, Attachment-Wounded Clients for EMDR (EMDRIA 3 hours)

• FLASH Technique (Dr. Manfield, 6 hours)

As a Consultant-in-Training (CIT) through EMDRIA, I offer EMDR certification consultations at a reduced rate in alignment with EMDRIA’s guidelines. This ensures accessibility for clinicians working toward certification while still receiving high-quality, trauma-informed support.

My other consultation services (e.g., for complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, KAP integration) draw from a broader clinical framework, advanced certifications, and years of specialization in those areas. These sessions include deeper case conceptualization and systems-based consultation beyond the EMDRIA framework, which is reflected in the pricing.

If you’re unsure which consultation type is the best fit, I’m happy to help clarify!

EMDR consultation is a collaborative space for EMDR-trained therapists to grow their skills, strengthen fidelity to the 8-phase model, and receive support navigating stuck points, adaptations, and complex trauma cases.

Consultation is not clinical supervision. While supervision typically addresses legal, ethical, and licensure oversight, EMDR consultation is focused on clinical skill-building and fidelity to the EMDR model. It is a peer-oriented, growth-focused relationship.

A CIT is an EMDR Certified Therapist pursuing EMDRIA Consultant status. CITs are authorized to provide up to 15 of the 20 hours required for EMDR certification. The remaining 5 hours must be completed with an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant.

To become EMDR Certified, EMDRIA requires 20 consultation hours:

• 10 hours must be individual

• The remaining 10 can be group or individual

• Up to 15 hours can be with a Consultant-in-Training (CIT)

• At least 5 hours must be with an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant

Yes. I offer:

• Individual consultation for personalized support

• Group consultation (usually 3–6 participants) for collaborative learning, case exploration, and fidelity discussion

Yes. Prior to your first consultation session, you’ll receive a contract outlining the expectations, scope of services, confidentiality limits, and EMDRIA requirements for certification hours. This ensures clarity and protects the integrity of our work together. You'll need to review and sign it before your first session can be confirmed.

At this time, EMDR consultation for certification is only available to clinicians who have completed both Part 1 and Part 2 of an EMDRIA-Approved Basic Training. If you’re still in training or considering EMDR for the future, I’m happy to connect you with resources or offer general trauma consultation instead. Just reach out!
