Contact me to set up a custom group with from two to four members and share the cost. If you work 30 hours per week in a nonprofit or community mental health agency you qualify for a 20% lower fee. Schedule 60 minute, 90 minute or two-hour sessions at the times that work best for you.

Both the Friday and Saturday group series meet EMDRIA standards for group consultation for EMDRIA Certification.

For Certification in EMDR:
  • EMDRIA requires 20 hours of consultation.
  • A maximum of 10 group consultation hours can be earned in a group setting.
  • Individual consultation hours can be earned when presenting individual case material.
  • Any clinician can earn consultation hours for Certification over the telephone in group or individual sessions.


Group size is limited to a maximum of eight participants. The focus is on the clinical application of standard research supported EMDR procedures described in Francine Shapiro's 2001 text Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: Basic Principles, Protocols and Procedures, The Guilford Press and in my 2009 book, A Guide to the Standard EMDR Protocols for Clinicians, Supervisors, and Consultants, Springer Publishing Company.

In the consultation groups, we discuss case formulation and treatment planning issues as well as how to enhance outcomes during the reprocessing phases of treatment. The clinicians who participate come from a wide range of previous theoretical orientations and current practice settings. Some are pursuing Certification; some are not. Some continue in the group over more than one six month series.
