I no longer see clients but, as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I continue to offer EMDR case consultation to clinicians using EMDR with adults and children. I provide individual and group case consultation to professionals by phone or virtually. Consultation is done in a supportive environment and can be used for case consultation for Basic Training, for EMDRIA Certification or to become an EMDRIA Approved Consultant.

Requirements to become EMDRIA Certified or an EMDRIA Approved Consultant may be found at emdria.org.
