Why Get Certified In EMDR?

Author: Dr. Jennifer Fee

If you are a Licensed Therapist who has completed an EMDRIA approved basic training, we can provide you with consultation services to meet EMDRIA’s consultation requirement for Certification in EMDR.

Enhance Your EMDR Skills

You’ve completed the Basic Training, but do you ever feel lost doing EMDR with clients?  Maybe you’ve lost your confidence (or never fully had it).  Don’t lose the huge investment that you made in the EMDR Basic Training!  One of the best ways to gain confidence, improve your skills, and experience more success using EMDR is to become certified.  The certification process can help you solidify what you learned in basic training, break any bad habits that you developed, and resolve any fears you might have surrounding trauma work.

Increase Your Client’s Confidence in Your Skills

The top question that clients have as they choose a therapist is, “Can you help me solve my problem?”  You know that therapy is an investment of time, money, and emotion. It can be downright stressful and scary to be on the client end, trying to choose the right therapist.

Therapists who are certified in EMDR have also made an investment of time, money, and emotion, and the credential reflects that effort.  Certification gives potential clients the confidence that you, as their therapist, are competent in your skills and are someone who does not hesitate to seek consultation when needed.

Increase Your Attractiveness to Employers

Seeking employment or contract work? Certification in EMDR can help you stand out as a professional who has made the effort to specialize in a specific skill.  With your minimum of 50 hours of EMDR experience with 25 different clients, 20 hours of consultation, and 12 hours of advanced continuing education in EMDR training, potential employers can be confident that you have the training and experience to provide effective EMDR to their client population.
