- No generic advice.
- No shared airtime.
- No figuring it out alone.
Just focused, 1:1 consultation centered on your clients, your challenges, and your growth as an EMDR therapist—so theory finally turns into confident, competent action.
What you get…

- Case specific guidance on how to apply what you just learned with your actual clients
- A confidential space to think through your clinical decision-making with someone who's been there
This is for you if…
- You want to build mastery, not just competency
- You want an experienced clinician's eye on your work from the start
- You're brand new to EMDR who don't want to practice with uncertainty

I'm new to EMDR, how will it help my practice?
EMDR provides a clinical roadmap to compassionately explore and treat your clients' trauma without re-triggering pain that can de-rail treatment or even cause clients to withdraw from therapy. Importantly, EMDR is one of the most scientifically validated and evidenced-based trauma treatments ever developed.
Don't just take it from us, EMDR is one of the most effective trauma treatments by internationally respected trauma treatment facilities. In fact, EMDR has the highest recommendation across most clinical practice guidelines, including the Veterans Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of PTSD, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS), United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, and Australian National Health and Medical Research Council. The American Psychological Association (APA) gave EMDR a conditional rating.
Can I get EMDR Certified after completing this course?
You're most of the way there. These 43+ hours fulfill all didactic requirements to become a Certified EMDR Clinician (EMDR-C) through Evergreen Certifications. To take the next step toward certification, complete 6 practice hours to improve your confidence and competence in delivering EMDR therapy, AND 10 hours of consultation with an approved Evergreen EMDR consultant to ensure you get the feedback and support you need once you start using EMDR in actual sessions.
