EMDR Consultation for Therapists

EMDR consultation (individual & group) for therapists needing clinical confidence and integration. Case review, protocol refinement, and fidelity-focused skill-building in a trauma-informed setting.

Flexible scheduling: in-person (Redondo Beach) and online across California.

1-Hour EMDR Consultation Group

Virtual small-group consultation for EMDR clinicians seeking consultation hours, thoughtful case discussion, and ongoing professional growth.

Grounded in a holistic, somatic, attachment-focused, and relational approach, our sessions provide space to explore case conceptualization, nervous-system responses, readiness and blocks, and the unfolding process of reprocessing. EMDR clinicians at every stage are welcome — from those pursuing certification to Consultants-in-Training and seasoned therapists seeking continued learning, clinical support, and collegial connection.

2-Hour EMDR Consultation Group

Two-hour virtual group consultation designed for deeper clinical exploration, collaborative learning, and meaningful connection with other EMDR clinicians.

With more time to stay curious and think together, these groups create space to bring complex cases, work through places where treatment feels stuck, and explore what may be happening beneath the surface of the work. Discussion is informed by EMDR while also considering attachment, the nervous system, somatic experience, relational dynamics, and the broader therapeutic process.

Whether you’re working toward certification, growing into consultation yourself, or simply looking for a space to keep learning alongside other clinicians, these groups offer room for reflection, clinical support, and continued development of your own way of practicing EMDR.

Individual EMDR Consultation

One-on-one EMDR consultation for clinicians seeking focused time for case consultation, clinical questions, and ongoing development in EMDR practice.

Individual consultation provides a dedicated space to examine case conceptualization, nervous-system responses, relational dynamics, readiness and blocks, and the unfolding reprocessing process through a holistic, somatic, attachment-focused, and relational lens. We can address specific clients, clinical questions, points of uncertainty or stuckness, or skills you wish to strengthen in your EMDR work. Relevant resources and recommendations may be offered after consultation to support continued learning and integration.

Hi, I’m Catherine Alvarado,

EMDRIA Approved Consultant, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor

I’m an EMDRIA Approved Consultant offering therapists help with certification, case formulation, and ongoing EMDR skill-building. My approach is collaborative and curious about clients and the therapy process.

I combine EMDR with a holistic, attachment-focused, relational, and somatic perspective. We’ll address readiness, nervous-system reactions, relational dynamics, stuck processing, complex cases, and clinical choices that come up in EMDR.

Consultation is tailored to your level and the specific questions or challenges you bring—whether you’re seeking certification, confidence with EMDR, or guidance on difficult cases.
