EMDR Phone Consultation

with

Jim Lichti, MSW, RMFT

EMDRIA Approved Consultant

The purposes of EMDR consultation are:

• to hasten development of conceptual and technical skills in EMDR’s many applications
• to incorporate EMDR into your existing clinical practice
• to increase your confidence in using EMDR
• to qualify to become EMDRIA Certified in EMDR
• to keep current with clinical developments and research in this rapidly evolving specialty

Consultees determine how to use their time. Typical content includes:

• discussion of clinical cases
• integrating EMDR into treatment plans
• conceptualizing the set-up for EMDR sessions
• analyzing ineffective sessions
• identifying yellow flags in the use of EMDR
• identifying literature for further learning
• emerging concepts & applications in EMDR practice
• developing a consultation practice

Consultation Packages

Phone Consultations are typically done in a series of 5 or 10 sessions. Single sessions to “try out” the process are available.

Consultation focused on a problematic case or session is also available. Seeking consultation only when a case is stuck or during a crisis does not facilitate the development of skills as well as a systematic approach.

Other Services

Phone Consultation with 1 other clinician is also possible. Find a partner and reduce your costs.

EMDR Group Consultation is also offered. Pull together a group from your networks or agency; or let me know you are interested in participating in a phone group.
