About your consultation hours

More about consultants, requirements, and terms

Hours completed with a non-approved facilitator-consultant will not be accepted and will need to be redone. No exceptions.

This directory provides geographical and professional information about the EMDR Institute facilitator-consultants who supervise the practicum at the Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 trainings. They provide case consultation for the required 10 hours needed to complete Basic Training. Upon completion of your 10th hour of case consultation, you and your consultant will need to submit confirmation of your completed hours; you will then receive a Certificate of Completion Request Form from the Institute. Once completed and returned to us, we will either email or mail the certificates within 5 business days.

About the facilitator-consultants listed here

Clinicians in this directory have completed Facilitator Training — a training which provides a more extensive involvement in the understanding and use of the EMDR method, under the guidance and direct supervision of the EMDR Institute. The minimum eligibility standards required of Facilitators are: currently licensed or certified to provide clinical treatment, and maintaining current status as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant (see emdria.org for consultant requirements). Please note: EMDRIA is a separate organization from the EMDR Institute.

To maintain facilitator status, facilitator-consultants are required to review the Basic Training each year. Above all, all facilitator-consultants listed are committed to the adherence of the highest standard of ethics and clinical competence as representatives of the EMDR Institute training team. These standards were developed by the Facilitator Selection Committee.

Consultation

All fees, consultation offerings, available times, and locations are determined by the individual facilitator-consultant. Contact your choice directly for information about their consultation program.

As a service to EMDR practitioners (but not an endorsement of the consultations or providers), the EMDR Institute has prepared this listing to indicate the availability for consultation and the clinical specialties of each facilitator-consultant. The EMDR Institute acknowledges that the persons included in this directory are members of the EMDR Institute Facilitator team and are EMDRIA Approved Consultants in good standing. The EMDR Institute does not warrant or otherwise assume responsibility for the private consultation services provided by the clinicians listed, nor their competency to provide such consultation.

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 USA Approved Facilitator-Consultant directory, or check "Only 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.
