EMDR Consultations for Practioners

For Therapists: EMDR Consultation & Training
As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant-in-Training through EMDRIA and Amber Stiles-Bodnar, I provide individual and group consultation for clinicians working toward EMDR certification or seeking to deepen their practice. My approach to consultation is collaborative, strengths-based, and practical. Together, we’ll build your confidence in applying EMDR with complex trauma, dissociation, grief, and other clinical challenges you may face.
Topics covered in consultation include:
-
Case conceptualization and treatment planning
-
Navigating blocked processing and looping
-
Working with complex PTSD and developmental trauma
-
Integrating parts work and somatic awareness
-
Ethical decision-making in trauma care
Whether you’re new to EMDR or refining your advanced skills, I provide a nonjudgmental space where learning and growth are encouraged.
Professional EMDR Consultation: Grow Your Skills with Confidence
Consultation is an essential part of becoming a skilled and ethical EMDR clinician. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Consultant-in-Training (CIT), I provide consultation services for therapists at all levels — whether you're working toward basic training completion, pursuing EMDRIA certification, or looking to refine your approach to complex trauma cases.
Who I Work With:
-
Therapists completing EMDR basic training who need required consultation hours
-
Clinicians working toward EMDRIA Certification who want guidance on challenging cases
-
Experienced therapists seeking support integrating EMDR with other modalities like somatic work, IFS/parts work, or polyvagal theory
What You Can Expect:
My consultation style is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and highly practical. I aim to meet you where you are and help you:
-
Strengthen your EMDR foundations: from target selection to resourcing and phase work
-
Explore case conceptualization through a trauma-informed, attachment-based lens
-
Develop your voice as an EMDR therapist — flexible, confident, and attuned to your clients’ needs
-
Troubleshoot difficult sessions: looping, blocked processing, high dissociation, or complex trauma
-
Ensure fidelity to the 8-phase protocol while adapting to real-world clinical challenges
Formats Offered:
-
Individual Consultation (virtual or in-person depending on location)
-
Group Consultation (affordable and collaborative; great for shared learning)
-
EMDR Certification Track: If you’re pursuing EMDRIA certification, I can provide up to 15 of the 20 required hours (as a CIT).
Specialty Areas:
I have particular experience consulting on cases involving:
-
CPTSD and developmental trauma
-
Sexual abuse and assault
-
Grief and sudden loss
-
Community violence
