2026 EMDR Cohorts: Build Skills and Community for EMDRIA Certification
This consultation cohort is 5 months long and will provide you with the 10 hours of group consultation that will count toward certification. As a member of a cohort, you will receive five discounted individual consultation meetings ($150/session vs. $175/session). These must be used during the same calendar year. It is recommended that participants sign up for one individual session per month either with me or with a recommended CIT.
You will have the opportunity to present cases, ask general questions, or seek support from colleagues on difficult cases. As a bonus for participating in the cohort, you will get access to a Google drive with resources for EMDR, including articles, podcasts, protocol scripts, case presentation guides, IFS resources and more that are added throughout our time together, as well as OCD resources. This cohort will provide help with the model, but equally important it will provide ongoing community with colleagues who are passionate about EMDR. Each participant working toward certification will be expected to present one case through all Eight Phases to demonstrate competency.
My areas of specialization include childhood trauma/relational trauma/Complex PTSD, OCD, PTSD, anxiety disorders, ADHD, codependency recovery, and spiritual abuse recovery. I am EMDR certified and an approved EMDRIA Consultant. I am IFS certified and have completed a Level One Training, a Level 2 IFS Training in IFIO (IFS Couples Therapy), several advanced trainings in EMDR & IFS - including the combination of EMDR + IFS, Healing Spiritual Abuse with EMDR, and Treating OCD with EMDR, and I-CBT Training for OCD.

What Former Participants Are Saying
“Everyone was supportive and encouraging. Intentions and needs were set at the beginning so it always felt like people got what they needed. Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable, humble and authentic. I learned so much in participating in this group but also was encouraged to see the stregnths that I already brought into my sessions. I feel more confident that I ever have with my skills and development.”
“Amanda is a wonderful group facilitator and a very approachable and real human. It was so helpful to be part of a group of other therapists where we could ask questions and learn and grow together. I feel like I have learned a lot over the past months of being in this group and look forward to continuing to carry all of this knowledge with me in my ongoing work with clients.”
“Amanda is personable, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. Her guidance in this group allowed me to open up and unblend from my anxious parts to find more confidence in EMDR and IFS/parts work. I was able to learn new skills and implement them right away. One of the best experiences I’ve had working in a group; informative, engaging, warm, and supportive.”
“This group was incredibly helpful for my personal and professional development. Amanda is very knowledgeable, humble, and authentic. Intentions and needs were determined at the beginning of the group and a plan was put into place that fit for everyone. This work can be complex, it often is, and my confidence in being who I am as a clinician and incorporating IFS and EMDR in a way that is unique to me and my clients has definitely developed nicely with the support of this group.”
“Amanda provides a safe, informative, and light hearted space to learn and grow as a clinician. In joining this group, you can expect to leave with far more than you came with in terms of skills and insights, or ways to conceptualize your cases in a more eloquent and efficient way. I highly recommend this group to EMDR trained therapists, regardless of skill level, especially if you are utilizing IFS or have neurodiverse clients or clients with OCD.”
