Case Consultation: 
Grow With a Cohort of Lifelong Learners

Where clinical integration really happens. Bring your cases, your stuck points, and your questions to a small group guided by an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant trained by Deany Laliotis.
  • Individual and group consultation available
  • All consultants are EMDRIA-Approved and active Center faculty
  • Counts toward EMDRIA Certification and Consultant hours
  • Open to clinicians at any stage of their EMDR journey

Where the Work Between the Work Happens

Consultation is where you bring a case that has you stuck, or a reprocessing session that went somewhere unexpected, or a conceptualization question you've been holding since your last training.

In a consultation group, members take turns presenting cases and working through them together, guided by an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant.

Sharing perspectives, testing clinical choices against the AIP model, and learning as much from each other's questions as from their own.

Every consultation group at The Center builds directly on what you learn in your trainings, from Basic through Master-level work.

And there is no safer company for the kind of honest self-reflection EMDR therapy sometimes requires — about what's happening between you and your client, not only what's happening for the client alone.

Find the Right Consultation Group

Consultation at The Center is organized around where you are in your EMDR journey, not a single one-size offering.

General Case Consultation

For any clinician who wants community and ongoing skill development. Present your cases, work through clinical impasses, and stay current with EMDR practice alongside peers guided by an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant.
Individual or group packages available

Certification Track
Consultation

For clinicians actively working toward EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ status. These groups are limited to four participants, giving you focused attention as you accumulate the consultation hours EMDRIA requires for certification.
Limited to four participants per group

CIT Groups (Consultant in Training)

For EMDR Certified Therapists who are ready to begin mentoring others and pursuing EMDRIA Consultant status themselves. These groups prepare you for the transition from receiving consultation to providing it.

Consultant Peer Groups
For clinicians who are already EMDRIA-Approved Consultants and want a space of their own — to discuss both their clinical cases and their work with consultees. Several senior faculty members lead these groups.

"Mentoring is built into everything we do at The Center. This is particularly true for our consultation groups. Group leaders invest in members with the intention of supporting each therapist's unique strengths as well as areas for growth. As lifelong learners, we strive to listen as well as guide, and to ask questions that promote an interactive style of learning. Encouraging one another to be our best selves, in every role, is who we are."

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have completed a specific training before joining a consultation group?

General Case Consultation groups are open to clinicians at any stage of their EMDR journey, from those newly trained through Basic Training to experienced practitioners. Certification Track Consultation and CIT Groups have more specific prerequisites tied to where you are in the EMDRIA certification process — see each group's description above for details.

How does consultation count toward EMDRIA certification?

EMDRIA requires at least 20 hours of consultation with an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant as part of the certification pathway. Consultation hours completed through The Center's groups count toward this requirement. 

What is the difference between a CIT Group and a Consultant Peer Group?

CIT (Consultant in Training) Groups are for EMDR Certified Therapists preparing to become EMDRIA-Approved Consultants themselves. Consultant Peer Groups are for clinicians who are already Consultants and want ongoing peer support for both their clinical work and their work with consultees.

How large are consultation groups?

Group size varies by type. Certification Track Consultation groups are limited to four participants to allow for focused attention. Other group sizes vary — contact us for current group details.

Can I do individual consultation instead of a group?

Yes. Individual consultation packages are available in addition to group options. Contact admin@emdrtherapy.com to discuss what fits your needs.

What trainees say about Training at The Center

#incredible training | #going to change the course of my clinical practice | #I felt supported | #I was absolutely blown away | #my facilitators were INCREDIBLE

The Craft of EMDR Therapy was a transformational journey, both personally and professionally, and raised my expectations of what’s possible in my work with clients with complex trauma.
Deany and her team clearly explained and demonstrated how to take the practice of EMDR therapy to a new level, to help clients become less identified with their adaptations, and more appropriately oriented to their here-and-now experience.The portion of the training that involved personal work was probably the most powerful part of the process. The effectiveness of this work has been evidenced by the significant progress of my clients since taking this course, particularly those clients with whom I previously struggled.
Deany Laliotis is an exceptional trainer and therapist, and beautifully demonstrated how the process of EMDR therapy can go beyond symptom relief, to become a life affirming and joyful process for both client and therapist.

Any trainer can present material, but Deany Laliotis’ trainings are more of an experience. She not only is knowledgeable about the material, but she engages the audience by being personable, asking thought provoking questions, and spends the time making sure we get it. Though she is a thought leader in the EMDR community, she makes you feel like a peer, and connects in ways I have not experienced in other trainings. At my last training people flew from all parts of the country to attend, and we were all eager to take another training with her. If you are serious about advancing your skills as an EMDR therapist, train with Deany.

Run, do not walk, to Deany's next training! As a newly certified EMDR therapist, I have been actively looking to integrate my clinical skills into my work using EMDR. While there are many trainings out there, none have resonated with me so deeply as Deany's approach. It just makes sense to me now. Learning EMDR is often described as akin to "drinking from a fire hose." It's an accurate assessment, I think, but learning from Deany has helped tremendously in bringing more clarity and focus, and has renewed in me a sense of excitement for the work. I can't wait to learn more!
