EMDR Clinicians Working Toward Certification


Earn your hours.

Sharpen your skills.

Expand your practice.

Working toward EMDRIA Certification can feel like a solo project.

You've done the training. You're seeing clients, logging sessions, trying to find a consultant, and figuring out continuing education credits, mostly on your own. Somewhere along the way, a credential that's supposed to deepen your clinical confidence starts to feel like one more administrative hurdle to clear. And it’s easy to lose sight of how close you may actually already be.

And if you're doing it alone, it usually stays that way.

Solo 1:1 consultation can check the box, but it doesn't always build what you actually need: a room of peers who understand the cases you're bringing, who push your clinical thinking, and who are thinking about where this field is headed the same way you are. Without that, certification becomes something you're racing to finish rather than a process that actually makes you a better clinician. And if you're also curious about where EMDR can go next, intensives, KAP, expanding your scope, it's hard to find that conversation happening anywhere near your certification hours.

Next to her is a round wicker table with a glass vase of yellow and white flowers. Behind her is a modern white floor lamp with spherical bulbs and a colorful abstract wall art. The room has a light-colored carpet and gray walls.

This cohort was built to close that gap.

I created this group for EMDR clinicians who want both things at once: the structure and documented hours certification requires, and a room of peers who are genuinely engaged in where this work is going. It’s also a chance to build relationships with colleagues you can turn to long after the cohort ends, including people you may refer clients to down the line, and who can speak to your clinical growth firsthand when it comes time to request certification letters of recommendation.

As an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant in Training, I bring a framework built from my own clinical experience, both in traditional EMDR and in building KAP and intensives into my own practice, to every session. You'll leave with sharper clinical judgment, hours that count, and a small group of colleagues who understand exactly what you're working through.

Already certified and just curious about KAP or Intensives? This group is focused on certification hours, business consultation might be a better fit for you.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Guidance on assessment, treatment planning, and target sequencing for complex or stuck cases

  • Strengthened protocol across all eight phases of EMDR

  • Case consultation for clients presenting with complex trauma, dissociation, or challenging clinical scenarios

  • Support navigating clinical and ethical decisions as they come up in session

  • A structure and consistency your certification timeline can actually rely on

  • Sharper clinical skill that tends to show up in client outcomes and in the confidence to price your work accordingly

  • A credential and the credibility that comes with the work behind it

  • Growth that can open new doors, such as consulting, teaching, or training others

  • A built-in network of peers, the kind of professional relationships that tend to outlast the cohort itself

A quick look at EMDRIA certification requirements

If you’re working toward certification, here’s the high-level picture:

  • 50 EMDR sessions with at least 25 clients

  • 20 hours of EMDR-specific consultation with an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant (up to 15 can be with a Consultant in Training)

  • 12 hours of EMDRIA continuing education credits

  • At least 2 years of post-licensure experience

If you’ve been practicing EMDR for a while, there’s a good chance you’re already meeting more of these requirements than you realize.

This cohort is designed to move you through the consultation-hours piece with real depth, not just a box to check.

Requirements can shift. Confirm current details directly with EMDRIA.
