If you can’t get enough of EMDR after certification, the next step is to be a EMDR Consultant. Work directly with EMDR therapists in the community to support them in their practice.
BECOME AN EMDR CONSULTANT WITH MINDEMICS
THIS PROGRAM IS BEST FOR THE EMDR THERAPIST WHO
WANTS TO GROW IN LEADERSHIP SKILLS
If you want to be known as an EMDR expert, this is the space for you. Be the go-to clinician in your community for EMDR support. Expand your experience as you support other therapists’ practice.
As you work with your EMDR consultant, the intention is for you to demonstrate that you are an expert in EMDR and know how to utilize it with complex cases. In addition, you are showing that you know how to support other therapists and ensure that they are following EMDR protocols.
Part of this process is not only you doing more EMDR with more clients, but you supporting EMDR therapists in their journey. Find a minimum of EMDR therapists to provide consultations to. At least three of them must have already completed EMDR basic training.
Submit a Declaration Form on EMDRIAs website to work as a Consultant-In-Training under an Approved EMDR Consultant. Schedule 20 hours together to review your consultations with your Approved Consultant. Here you will receive mentorship and develop a new set of leadership skills.
Utilizing EMDR with more and more clients inevitably gives you more experience. As clients with different diagnoses and symptoms walk through your doors, you will gain more confidence as you navigate different challenges with each case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Be sure to thoroughly review Mindemics’ program and EMDRIA’s requirements to become an Approved Consultant. You want to be sure you understand all the steps before getting started. Sign up for Mindemics program below and get Consultation-Of-Consultation (COC) hours scheduled on the calendar.
Connect with Carlie to sync calendars to find dates and times that work for your schedules. It is recommended to put consistent COC hours on the calendar.
The length of the program is dependent on your pace in completing the requirements. If you book two Consultation-Of-Consultation (COC) hours a month, it takes approximately 10-12 months.
During your Consultation-Of-Consultations (COC), you will present your videos of consultation hours with your consultees. The Approved Consultant will provide feedback and coaching to strengthen your consultation skills. COCs are used to get support as you face challenges and to ensure you are providing effective consultations to EMDR therapists.
Finding consultees to provide consultations for can be one of the biggest barriers for the Consultants-In-Training (CITs). It is easiest if you already have relationships formed with EMDR therapists in your community. Asking your colleagues or posting on online forums can be helpful too!
Consultations and COC hours can be completed in person, over video or phone call. Usually, they are conducted over Zoom.
You can start tracking your EMDR sessions as soon as you complete Basic Training. You are encouraged to track them along the way in an excel sheet or log of some sort. Your 300 sessions with 75 different clients will have to be completed prior to submitting your application to becoming an EMDR Consultant.
EMDR continuing education hours can be completed any time after EMDR basic training. They must be EMDRIA approved and they cannot be utilized more than once with applications. Meaning, if you utilized EMDRIA advanced training hours for your EMDR Certification application, you will need to complete additional hours for your EMDR Consultant application.
I AM INTERESTED IN THE CONSULTATION PROGRAM BUT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT AS A GROUP AND NOT SOLO, IS THAT AN OPTION?
You have to complete 20 Consultation-Of-Consultation (COC) hours. 10 of those have to be individual, but 10 can be completed in a group of 2 or 3. Ask your colleagues to see if they would be interested in forming a group with you. If you don’t know of anyone, connect with Carlie and see if she knows anyone who wants to join you!
