Note: We anticipate the new standards will go into effect in early 2026.
Why Are We Updating These Standards?
- EMDRIA Approved Consultants™ play an essential educator role in the EMDR community, impacting everything from basic training to certification to guiding CITs in becoming EMDRIA Approved Consultants™
- Consultants have expressed the need for more structure, guidance, resources, direction and support from EMDRIA
- It is essential to have a common language to measure and evaluate performance for the different roles that EMDRIA Approved Consultants™ might fulfill
- To include best practices in consultation that highlight quality, a developmental approach, and following ethical guidelines
News & Updates
Consultants and CITs received an email from EMDRIA, informing them of the updates to the consultant standards and what is happening next.
It is essential to engage with each other and gather the collective wisdom from the consultant community. These insights from the following will inform the new standards, process, and expectations:
- Initial Survey – We will start by sending out a survey to gather information on the various types of consultation our EMDRIA Approved Consultants™ provide. We will send the survey out in early April.
- Virtual Focus Groups – Following the survey, we will host virtual focus groups. Responses collected from the survey will inform the topic of conversation for these groups. We will host the virtual focus groups in May.
