EMDR certification is a formal credential awarded by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) after you complete an approved basic training program, log at least 50 EMDR sessions with 25 different clients, accumulate 20 hours of follow‑up consultation, earn 12 EMDRIA CE credits, and submit professional documentation including a letter of recommendation.

It signifies a higher level of skill and experience beyond foundational training, offering greater credibility and confidence in delivering trauma‑informed EMDR therapy in your clinical work

Being an EMDRIA Consultant‑in‑Training (CIT) means I’m already an EMDRIA Certified Therapist who has officially declared my intent to become an EMDR Consultant and am actively receiving consultation‑of‑consultation—that is, feedback on how I give consultation to others as I begin mentoring EMDR‑trained therapists.

You can count up to 15 of the required 20 EMDRIA consultation hours toward your EMDRIA certification if they’re spent in consultation with me. The remaining five hours must be completed with an EMDRIA‑Approved Consultant™ to meet EMDRIA standards

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 training is an immersive ~90‑hour experience designed for licensed mental health professionals, offering lectures, demonstrations, experiential exercises, and small‑group practice to deeply embody the IFS model and begin using it clinically. I bring this training into EMDR consultations to support clinicians in using both models.
