EMDR Consultation

for Therapists

Real guidance. Nonjudgmental support. Make your EMDR effective—with actual clients.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Whether you’re newly trained in EMDR or knee-deep in complex trauma cases, consultation gives you the support you need to feel confident—and effective.

Let’s be real: You know EMDR is effective, but it can also be overwhelming.

Maybe you’re newly trained and unsure how to actually use EMDR with real clients. Or maybe you’ve tried it with complex trauma cases—and it’s gone sideways.

I’ve been there.


When I first started using EMDR, I’d try to follow the protocol, but it felt confusing. I got lost. Sessions stalled, and my clients often left thinking EMDR just didn’t work for them.

Inside, I felt like I was failing.

What I didn’t realize was that I just needed the right tools, adaptations, and support that basic training doesn't have time to cover.

Now, after years of consultation and advanced training, I offer the kind of space I wish I’d had:


• A place to ask the embarrassing questions

• To not feel behind

• To rebuild your confidence and feel like a real EMDR therapist—

not an imposter trying to fake your way through it

This is consultation that’s grounded, practical, and shame-free—so you can trust your skills, trust the method, and feel good about the work you’re doing.

This isn’t check the box consultation. This is support that helps you grow.
