Therapist Consultation Costa Mesa | EMDR Support for Clinicians

Why Do EMDR Therapists Seek Consultation and Support?

EMDR consultation is more than case conceptualization. It’s a place to slow down, reflect, and deepen your clinical work, while also tending to the personal impact of sitting with trauma. Therapists often come to EMDR consultation wanting:

• Support with Complex Trauma and Attachment Wounds
• Help Untangling Stuck or Looping Targets
• Guidance with Resourcing and Nervous System Regulation
• Clarity Around Case Formulation
• Space to Process Secondary Trauma
• Support Navigating Burnout and Emotional Overload
• Mentorship as They Grow in Confidence and Clinical Depth

You may already know the protocols. What you often need is space to think, feel, and integrate.

What Is My Approach to EMDR Consultation for Therapists?

Attachment Based

Trauma Informed

Nervous System Awareness 

Relational and Collaborative

Experiential When Helpful

Grounded in Compassion for Both Client and Clinician. I work with therapists at all stages of their EMDR journey, from newly trained clinicians to seasoned trauma therapists seeking deeper integration. 

My approach blends EMDR with Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and attachment based care. 

This allows us to explore not only what you are doing clinically, but how your client’s system, and your own, are responding to the work. Consultation becomes a space where both clinical skill and embodied presence are supported.

What Should Therapists Look for in an EMDR Consultant?

Therapists are often drawn to my consultation work because of my advanced training and experience, including:

• EMDRIA Certified & Approved Consultant through EMDR International Association

• ICEEFT Certified and Supervisor-in-Training through International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy

• IFSI Level 1 and Level 2 Internal Family Systems training through the IFS Institute

• SPI Level 1 and Level 2 Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute

• Over 14 years of clinical experience working directly in the field

You don’t have to explain the basics. You don’t have to translate your experience. You can bring both your clinical questions and your humanity.

What Do Therapists Work on in EMDR Consultation?

Therapists come to consultation for support with:

• Complex PTSD and Developmental Trauma

• Attachment Injuries and Relational Wounds

• Dissociation and Nervous System Dysregulation

• Blocked Processing or Looping Targets

• Parts Interference During Reprocessing

• Resourcing and Stabilization

• Countertransference and Secondary Trauma

• Burnout and Compassion Fatigue

• Clinical Confidence and Identity Development

Our work is collaborative, thoughtful, and paced to support both effectiveness and sustainability.

How Does EMDR Consultation Support Therapists Facing Burnout and Secondary Trauma?

Being a trauma therapist means you are constantly regulating, attuning, and holding emotional intensity. Over time, this can lead to:

• Feeling Emotionally Full

• Subtle Exhaustion

• Difficulty Staying Present at Home

• Irritability or Shutdown

• Questioning Your Clinical Competence

• Longing for Support But Not Knowing Where to Turn

Consultation becomes a place where you are supported and given space to reflect and heal, so you can continue doing meaningful work without losing yourself in it.
