EMDR consultation when the next step isn’t clear

Individual consultation for clinicians who have completed EMDR basic training.

You know the protocol, but a case can still leave you wondering what to do next. Maybe reprocessing has stalled, pacing feels uncertain, or dissociation is complicating preparation. Bring the question you’ve been turning over, and we can think it through together.

​How I Can Help

Somatics

​Body awareness and pacing

 

When a client’s words and body cues are difficult to connect, explore what you’re noticing and what could inform your next clinical decision.

Mindfulness

​Preparation and grounding

 

Think through grounding, dual attention and preparation when a client has difficulty staying present or experiences higher levels of dissociation.

Trauma-Informed Care

​Readiness and context

 

Unsure whether to continue, slow down or return to preparation? Consider readiness, choice, current stress and the support available to your client.

Geek-Informed Practice

​Interests, identity and resourcing

 

Explore how a client’s games, stories and interests can inform rapport, resourcing and case conceptualization.

My Approach

My strengths-based approach builds on what you already do well, helping you develop greater clarity, confidence, and flexibility in your EMDR work. We’ll start with the question you’re facing and the information you have, then look at your reasoning, the client’s responses and what may need more attention.

Somatics, mindfulness, trauma-informed care and geek-informed practice are lenses we can bring to that discussion. The focus stays on what they add to case conceptualization, preparation, pacing and your next clinical decision.

What Happens After You Reach Out

A brief inquiry is enough to start.

  1. Share your question. Tell me about your training and broad consultation goals through Paubox. Leave out identifying client information.

  2. Clarify the fit. We’ll discuss what you need and agree on the purpose and expectations of consultation before beginning.

  3. Focus on the work. Bring a clinical question and relevant de-identified material so we can examine your reasoning and possible next steps.

Individual EMDR consultation is $100 for 60 minutes.

Questions You May Have

What if I know the protocol but feel stuck with a case?

That’s a useful place to begin. Bring a focused question and de-identified case material. We can look at what you’ve tried, your client’s responses and the choices you’re considering.

Can these sessions count toward EMDRIA certification?

Eligible hours may count when we agree on that purpose in advance and meet EMDRIA requirements. Up to 15 of the 20 required hours may come from a CIT; at least 5 hours and the required recommendation must come from an EMDRIA Approved Consultantâ„¢. See the full consultation questions for details.

What should I include in an inquiry?

Tell me your professional role, EMDR basic-training provider and completion status, and the broad question you’d like help with. Please leave out identifying client information.
