Edit only the fields that need to change — everything is shown exactly as it appears in the directory today. Suggestions are reviewed by EMDR Institute staff before anything is published.
Please list items separated by commas (for example: Adults, Adolescents, Couples) — not a paragraph or bio.
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.
No. Any single field is enough — a state, a partial ZIP code, or a specialty all work on their own.
If a 3-digit ZIP search finds only a few listings, try entering just 2 digits of the ZIP code plus your state.
Many EMDR Institute trained clinicians offer teletherapy. Please contact clinicians directly about their services.
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.
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.
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.
EMDRIA is a separate organization. Please use the EMDRIA therapist directory at emdria.org.
Use the dedicated USA Approved Facilitator-Consultant directory, or check "Only EMDR Institute Approved Facilitator-Consultants" in the search filters.
No. The Institute provides education for mental-health practitioners. Please contact clinicians directly to schedule appointments.
