EMDR Consultation: Grow Your Confidence, Strengthen Your Skills, and Find Your People

If you’ve completed your EMDR basic training and you’re wondering “what’s next?” the answer is consultation.

EMDR Consultation is where everything starts to click. It’s where theory meets practice, where we take the AIP model out of the manual and bring it into the messy, beautiful real world of therapy sessions. Whether you’re fresh from training or several years in and ready to fine-tune your work with complex cases, there’s a spot for you.

These groups are less about the basics and more about integration, helping you feel confident and flexible in your EMDR practice while building community with other clinicians who speak the same language.

Who Should Attend

✔ Therapists trained in EMDR through Amber Stiles-Bodnar Consulting and Institute for Creative Mindfulness
✔ Clinicians working toward EMDRIA Certification
✔ EMDR-trained providers looking for fresh perspectives, case support, and ongoing growth
✔ Anyone who’s realized EMDR isn’t just a protocol, it’s a way of seeing clients through a new lens

Why Ongoing Consultation Matters

Even after basic training, EMDR can feel like learning a new instrument, the rhythm, timing, and flow take practice. Consultation offers a space to build confidence, troubleshoot tricky cases, and keep your work aligned with EMDRIA standards. It’s also a reminder that you don’t have to do this work alone.

So, whether you’re brand new to EMDR or years into your practice, I’d love to have you join us.
