As an EMDR practitioner, you can increase your knowledge and advance your clinical skills by seeking EMDR consultation.  We provide occasional and ongoing individual consultation to Part I and Part II trained EMDR and consultation for those seeking EMDRIA™ Approved Certification and/or Consultant status in EMDR.  Through consultation, you can learn more about case formulation, treatment planning, and application of specific clinical skills using EMDR.  As you become more and more proficient in EMDR and learn how to integrate EMDR into your clinical practice, we will help you celebrate your successes.
