EMDR Consultation for Therapists
Support for Complex Trauma, Certification, and Veteran/Military Cases
EMDR consultation is where your confidence grows, your case conceptualization sharpens, and the work becomes more grounded and intuitive. I help clinicians navigate complex trauma, dissociation, moral injury, and Veteran or military presentations with clarity and structure.

You Don’t Need to Guess Your Way Through Complex Cases – Especially With Veterans and Military Trauma
EMDR gets challenging when:
- A client’s system becomes unpredictable
- Shame or moral injury blocks progress
- Veteran or military narratives don’t fit “the textbook”
- Trauma loops keep reappearing
- Identity conflict or grief surfaces unexpectedly
- Dissociation complicates the standard protocol
- You’re unsure how fast or slow to pace processing
If you feel stuck, hesitant, or uncertain – you’re not alone. These moments are exactly when thoughtful consultation helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
How EMDR Consultation Helps You
Build Confidence
Strengthen your readiness, pacing, and decision-making with complex cases.
Clarify Case Conceptualization
See client systems clearly, identify patterns, and choose targets with greater precision.
Develop Clinical Judgment
Understand what you’re client’s symptoms are protecting, revealing, or avoiding – especially when trauma is layered.
Work More Effectively With Hard Cases
Learn to navigate dissociation, looping, blocked processing, moral injury, and identify disruption.
Understand Veteran and Military Presentations
Approach these cases with cultural insight and trauma depth, not guesswork.
Choose Your EMDR Consultation Path
I offer consultation for therapists developing foundational EMDR skills or advancing toward consultant status. Consultation may include Veteran-related EMDR work when tied to Certification or CIT development.
- EMDR Certification Consultation
Strengthen your EMDR skills, clarify protocol fidelity, develop confidence with sequencing and pacing, and complete EMDRIA-required consultation hours.
Veteran cases may be included when pursued for Certification. - Consultant-in-Training (CIT)
Develop your consultant identity, refine supervisory skills, learn how to guide clinicians effectively, and strengthen your consultation judgment.
Veteran EMDR cases may be included as part of CIT development. - Basic Training Consultation
For clinicians who have recently completed EMDR Basic Training and want support applying the protocol, deepening understanding of the phases, improving pacing and readiness assessment, or building confidence using EMDR with real clients.
Veteran EMDR cases may be included only if part of Certification or CIT development. - General EMDR Case Consultation (Non-Veteran Cases Only)
Support for EMDR application with complex trauma, dissociation, shame, looping, or blocked processing for non-Veteran clinical cases.
(General Veteran case consultation outside EMDR Certification or CIT pathways is supported through the VA National Center for PTSD’s EMDR Consultation Program.)
If You’re not sure which pathway fits your needs, we can decide that together.
