Clinical Supervision & Consultation
Consultation is a collaborative process focused on enhancing clinical skills, case discussions, and treatment planning. The consultee retains full professional liability for their clients, and is expected to operate independently within their professional scope and ethical guidelines. Even after certification, ongoing consultation results in more competent and ethical EMDR practice. EMDR group and individual consultation time can be applied towards EMDR certification (see below).
Supervision involves oversight and legal responsibility for a supervisee's practice, and is used as part of fulfilling hours towards RP qualifying hours, or can be accessed as ongoing clinical support.

About the Group Experience
Trauma & Grief Institute EMDR group consultations are online and focus on case discussions, treatment planning, and enhancing therapy practices. Sessions are tailored to the needs of the group, fostering an engaging and collaborative environment. Each group has a maximum of 4 attendees. The group cost is paid upfront to secure your spot.

Commitment As a Consultee
By participating in consultation, consultees agree to remain professionally liable for their clients and adhere to ethical guidelines. These consultations are designed to support your professional development and clinical practice but do not constitute supervision. It is the responsibility of consultees to keep track of all documents to streamline their EMDR certification application process.
