Why Your EMDR Consultant Should Be a Successful Trauma Therapist

When seeking EMDR consultation, it’s easy to get caught up in finding someone who simply checks the boxes – someone who’s EMDRIA-approved and meets the technical requirements. While these are important, they don’t tell the whole story.

At Colorado LPC Supervision, we believe the most valuable EMDR consultants are those who are not only technically proficient but also deeply immersed in the work of trauma healing.

Here’s why choosing an EMDR consultant who is also a successful trauma therapist makes a significant difference

  • Real-World Expertise: Consultants who actively treat trauma clients understand the nuances and complexities of working with trauma in the real world. They can offer insights and guidance based on their own clinical experience, not just theoretical knowledge.
  • Practical Applications: They can help you translate EMDR theory into practical, effective interventions for your clients. They’ve faced the same challenges you’re facing and can provide tailored solutions.
  • Empathy and Understanding: Consultants who work with trauma clients daily possess deep empathy and understanding of the challenges faced by both therapists and clients. This creates a supportive and non-judgmental space for you to explore your clinical work.
  • Staying Sharp: Active clinicians are constantly learning and adapting their skills. This keeps their knowledge and approaches fresh and relevant.
  • Inspiration and Motivation: Working with a successful trauma therapist can be incredibly inspiring. Witnessing their expertise and compassion can reignite your own passion for trauma work.

At Colorado LPC Supervision, our EMDR consultants embody these qualities:

  • Experienced Trauma Therapists: All our consultants are seasoned trauma therapists with extensive experience at one of the largest therapy practices in Denver treating a wide range of trauma presentations.
  • Active Clinicians: They maintain active clinical practices, ensuring their knowledge remains current and relevant.
  • Passionate about Healing: They are deeply committed to helping clients heal from trauma and are passionate about supporting other therapists in their journey.

Investing in high-quality EMDR consultation is an investment in your own professional growth and in the well-being of your clients. Choose a consultant who not only meets the technical requirements but also brings a wealth of real-world experience and a deep commitment to trauma healing.
