Find an EMDR Therapist Directory Profile
Introduction:
Your Find an EMDR Therapist directory profile helps people seeking EMDR therapy learn more about you, your experience, and the services you offer. Keeping your profile complete and up to date makes it easier for prospective clients to determine whether your practice may be a good fit for their needs.
The Find an EMDR Therapist directory is an exclusive benefit of EMDRIA Full membership. Associate, Student, and Retired memberships do not include a directory listing. EMDR Certified Therapists and EMDR Consultants must also maintain Full membership to be listed. Interested in becoming a member or upgrading your membership? Join EMDRIA or contact info@emdria.org for assistance.
Managing Your Directory Profile
Your directory profile pulls information from two sections of your EMDRIA member account: Personal Info and Contact Info. This guide walks you through updating these sections, adding important practice details, and making the most of your directory listing.
Please note: Changes to your directory profile may take up to 48 hours to appear. If your updates are not reflected after that time, contact for assistance.
Get Started with Your Directory Profile
Sign in to your EMDRIA member account and navigate to the Personal Info section under the Account tab. Scroll to Find an EMDR Therapist Directory Information to begin updating your listing.
Make sure the Show in Directory checkbox is selected. If this box is unchecked, your profile will not appear in directory search results.
Review your name and professional credentials to ensure they are accurate. Your directory listing displays your name and credentials as entered in your member account, using the following format:
Prefix, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix, Credentials
Use standard capitalization and enter professional credentials only in the Credentials field. EMDRIA certification and consultant designations are added automatically based on your active status and should not be entered manually.

Add a Professional Profile Picture
Overview > Add Image
A profile photo helps prospective clients put a face to your name and begin getting to know you before reaching out.
For the best results, choose a clear, professional headshot with your face centered in the image. Square or vertically oriented photos work best because directory search results crop images into a square.
Avoid horizontal images, very small or oversized photos, and backgrounds that make your image difficult to distinguish from the page.
Update Your Contact Information
Your contact information determines how prospective clients can connect with you and which practice locations appear in the directory.
Directory Email
Enter the email address where you would like to receive directory inquiries in the designated Directory Email field under Personal Info.
The directory uses an Email Me contact form rather than publicly displaying your email address. Messages submitted through this form are sent to the email address you've provided.
Work Addresses
Under Contact Info, enter your practice address and designate it as Work.
Only addresses marked as Work are used for directory location searches. Home and Other addresses are not displayed in your directory listing.
You may add multiple work addresses if you practice at more than one location.
Phone Number
To display a phone number on your directory profile, designate the number as Work and select Save as Primary Phone.
Website and Social Media Links
Add your practice website and any supported social media links you would like displayed on your directory profile.
Be sure to select the appropriate link type and confirm that each URL is accurate.

After saving your updates, visit the public Find an EMDR Therapist directory to review your profile.
Check that your name, credentials, practice information, specialty areas, and contact details are accurate.
