Why become certified? |
Although professionals can conduct EMDR with clients after completing the basic training, going through the certification process often helps clinicians to develop more advanced skills and to be more effective in their work with clients. Most professionals report feeling more comfortable with EMDR, able to apply EMDR techniques to a wider range of clients and presenting concerns, and more efficient and effective in providing EMDR therapy. In addition, being certified allows you to be listed in the EMDRIA directory as an EMDR Certified Therapist. If you wish to eventually become an EMDR Consultant, you would first need to become and EMDR Certified Therapist.

Dr. Jerome is able to provide consultation hours toward basic trainings, those seeking EMDR certification or Approved Consultant Status, and those seeking to develop more advanced skills in EMDR. Consultation is available to individuals in any location, and can be completed virtually. "My approach to consultation is structured and supportive. I believe in meeting consultees where they are, and encouraging them to push themselves to develop their skills to their full potential. Many (if not most) clinicians experience some insecurity after the basic training, and I am a firm believer that no question is too small. I will encourage you to start where you are, ask questions, and build skills from there. When possible, use of video and/or audio recordings of sessions, or sessions transcripts, is encouraged. My goal is for consultees to come away from their consultation experience feeling better prepared, more confident, and excited about the use of EMDR therapy in their practice. Please reach out with any questions, and I look forward to working with you!" - Dr. Elisabeth Jerome, Ph.D., LCP |
