Frequently asked questions

How do I find a clinician in my area?

Search by city, state, or ZIP code. Clinicians often live in a suburb of a city, so it is usually more effective to search by only the first 3 digits of your ZIP code plus your state, without a city.

Do I need to fill out all the fields?

No. Any single field is enough — a state, a partial ZIP code, or a specialty all work on their own.

How do I get a bigger list of clinicians?

If a 3-digit ZIP search finds only a few listings, try entering just 2 digits of the ZIP code plus your state.

Are EMDR clinicians doing teletherapy?

Many EMDR Institute trained clinicians offer teletherapy. Please contact clinicians directly about their services.

How do I know whether a clinician takes my insurance?

The Institute does not track insurance participation. Please ask clinicians directly, or cross-reference these listings with your insurance carrier's mental-health provider list.

What if a phone number is out of date?

The listing is refreshed every day, but clinicians sometimes forget to report moves or number changes. If a number does not work, an online search for the clinician's name and city usually finds current contact details.

How do I know if a clinician was trained by the EMDR Institute?

Everyone listed in this directory has been trained by the EMDR Institute of Dr. Francine Shapiro. Search for the clinician by first name, last name, and state to confirm a specific person.

How do I know if a clinician is certified by EMDRIA?

EMDRIA is a separate organization. Please use the EMDRIA therapist directory at emdria.org.

I completed EMDR Basic Training — where do I find a consultant for my consultation hours?

Use the dedicated Approved Facilitator/Consultant directory, or check "EMDR Institute Approved Facilitator/Consultants" in the search filters.

Does the EMDR Institute provide therapy or schedule appointments?

No. The Institute provides education for mental-health practitioners. Please contact clinicians directly to schedule appointments.
