Who can provide EMDR treatment?
Only
mental health professionals eligible to be licensed to
practice psychotherapy are accepted for training by EMDR
International Association approved training programs.
To be sure a psychotherapist has appropriate training in
EMDR verify they have completed an EMDRIA™ approved
training program in EMDR. To confirm a psychotherapist has
appropriate experience and proficiency in EMDR look for
those who have earned the designation "EMDRIA™
Certified in EMDR." This optional, advanced designation
requires completing both supervised training and approved
consultation.
Finding an EMDR trained mental health
professional
I
provide EMDR treatment in Santa Rosa. Due to the volume of
requests, except for my own patients and their families, I
do not provide specific referrals to other EMDR trained
clinicians.
It is relatively easy to locate EMDR trained mental health
professionals through two searchable public directories.
The EMDR Institute has a searchable public directory
of those who have
completed its EMDRIA™ approved training that also
identifies members of its teaching faculty.
The EMDR International Association maintains a
searchable public directory
listing the qualifications
of its EMDR trained members.
