EMDR Consultation for Clinicians
Individual and group EMDR consultation for clinicians. Available in-person in Redondo Beach and online.
Join us for a 1-hour EMDR consultation group designed as a small, collaborative space to talk through whatever feels most pressing in current clinical work—whether specific case questions, stuck points in reprocessing, or broader EMDR-related considerations. Online. Max 4 participants.
Join us for a 2-hour EMDR consultation group designed for clinicians seeking extended time for case discussion and deeper exploration of EMDR work. This larger-group format allows for a wider range of perspectives while still offering space to bring forward pressing case presentations, stuck moments, and broader questions around EMDR conceptualization, pacing, targets, and clinical decision-making. Online. Max 8 participants.
Individual EMDR consultation offers a personalized, collaborative space to slow down and think together about clinical work. These one-on-one sessions are tailored to what feels most pressing—whether working through a specific case, navigating stuck points in reprocessing, or thinking more broadly about EMDR conceptualization and clinical decision-making. Online or in person.
