Finding an EMDR Consultant
Looking for an EMDRIA Approved Consultant to further expand your knowledge, confidence, and quality of EMDR services?
Consultation is an essential part of mastering the art of EMDR and providing quality care. It involves keeping therapists up to date on the latest research, provides education on prominent EMDR protocols, and assists in mastering the EMDR 8-phase, 3-pronged approach.
EMDR Consultation, in an individual and group format, can be used toward your Certification hours or can be provided just for your continued focus on quality treatment and a regular outlet for your complex cases.
We have wonderful and seasoned therapists in Georgia that have acquired the status of EMDRIA approved EMDR consultants.
