Therapist-First EMDR Consultation

  • Andreana

Burnout prevention and clinical competence have a chicken and egg relationship.

You see, your own sense of clinical competence is a crucial part of protecting you from burnout.

When you know exactly what you're going to do with each client on your caseload - and how to adjust when you need to - work becomes less stressful and more exciting.

But vice versa...

You need to be well-regulated in order to execute and adjust the treatment plan session to session!

So I propose that we don't just take care of your clients in consultation, but we find a way to take care of you too!

This cohort will only be open to 5 clinicians maximum to help me maintain group intimacy, give personalized case consultation time, and to build a truly supportive peer space.

This program has been thoughtfully researched and designed to apply the principles that help therapists prevent and recover from burnout. 

So, together, we’re going to build our professional competence, expand our own windows of tolerance, and do it with peer support.

This is not for you if:

You’re not trained or interested in EMDR. 

If you’d like to use these hours toward your EMDRIA application, please ensure that your basic training was done with a EMDRIA-Approved trainer. At this time, PESI trainings cannot be used for EMDRIA applications. If you have any questions about how your time here can apply to your certification goals, please email me at andreana@workingphase.com and I’m happy to answer them! 

You’re looking for a place to only talk about successes. 

We’re all learning together, even me. We’re all going to celebrate wins together! But we’ll also bring real examples and the tough stuff to our meetings

You’re looking for someone who will supervise you in another modality. 

You will be encouraged to bring all of your clinical skills into the treatment of your client, and we’ll discuss how to merge those with your EMDR training. 

However, I will not be able to supervise you in other modalities (e.g. Brainspotting, IFS or Somatic Experiencing). We will be nerding out on the classic, 8 phases of EMDR, and then helping you apply modifications from your own expertise. 

You are a CIT hoping to use these hours for your Approved Consultant application. 

I can help you with that application, email me to set up a quick chat. The consultation meetings in this program will be for EMDR application. These hours will not give you the chance to practice your skills as a consultant-in-training.

You are looking for detailed training on how to start a business or create a group practice from scratch.

General business stress and business management will naturally come up over our time together. These discussions are very welcome! 

However, to preserve as much time for our clinical and personal development, meetings will not summarize the details of llc creation, hiring, insurance, or consultation on branding and marketing. Please use the community posts to ask for recommendations, referrals, and advice in your community posts.

This is the cohort you need if:

Your prior consultation experiences emphasized protocols but missed your needs as both a learner and leader.

You want to know how to do EMDR in a way that energizes you for work!

You've been afraid of phase 4 and need someone to nudge you out of resourcing and into action.

You want to know how to integrate modifications without breaking the protocol.

You want the chance to discuss the body of knowledge and research without assigning you hours of homework.

You need someone who will keep you accountable to a sustainable plan for your growth!

You're in? Great!

I review each submission, and your responses shape the program! Can't wait to spend time with you!
