IFS-informed EMDR consultation for therapists

For clinicians who want to integrate parts work, deepen clinical insight, and feel confident working with complex trauma. 

Let’s be real: this work is layered, sacred, and sometimes overwhelming.

You’re not new to providing therapy. You’ve got solid training, a bookshelf full of manuals, and a deep commitment to your clients.

But you…

  • Are piecing together two brilliant models (IFS & EMDR) and wishing someone would just show you how they fit.

  • Ask excellent questions during consultation groups but wish you got more of a response than “it depends”.

  • Want to track targets, parts, and somatic cues without losing your flow.

  • Crave a consultation space that feels like both a clinical deep dive and a place for connection with like-minded clinicians

When you’re holding this much complexity, it doesn’t stay neatly in the therapy room.

It spills into your confidence, your energy, and sometimes your capacity to keep showing up. You deserve support that sees the full picture: therapist and human.

What if consultation felt as nourishing as it is nerdy?

IFS-informed EMDR consultation gives you a roadmap to navigate complex cases with more clarity. We blend the structure of EMDR with the spaciousness of IFS.

Consultation with me is especially helpful if you are working with clients who experience: 

  • Complex PTSD or early attachment trauma

  • Dissociation or protective systems

  • ADHD

  • Cultural and intergenerational trauma

Whether you’re working toward EMDR certification, working toward EMDRIA Approved Consultant status, or trying to stay regulated in this wild field we’ll work at your pace, with all your parts on board.

Come as you are. Bring your stuck points, your questions, and consult about the clients who keep you up at night.

Consultation offers not just skills—but spaciousness, support, and the occasional well-timed meme. Let’s find a way forward together!

How I approach IFS-informed EMDR consultation

My consultation style is relational, collaborative, and built on the belief that therapists need just as much attunement as their clients do. I hold space for the messiness and the magic of the work—and for the therapist's humanity, too. 

I draw from:

  • Standard EMDR protocols (with creative flexibility)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts mapping

  • Attachment theory and real-life clinical experience

  • A decolonial and social justice-informed lens that honors context, identity, and power

  • A neurodiversity-affirming approach that respects different ways of thinking, sensing, and processing

  • You'll receive follow-up emails and optional materials designed to support all learning styles—whether you prefer visuals, written guides, or just time to integrate at your own pace.

We’ll clarify target selection when everything feels blended, explore protector dynamics as they show up during resourcing and reprocessing, and learn how to track somatic cues and parts language. You’ll deepen your understanding of what it means to be Self-led as a therapist and stay grounded and curious when the standard EMDR protocol or  IFS healing steps don’t quite fit the client in front of you.

If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “I would love to use IFS and EMDR but I don’t know how,” you’re in the right place.

Consultation can help you:

  • Identify and unblend from your own parts that get activated in session

  • Reframe stuck points through an IFS lens

  • Strengthen your confidence with complex trauma cases

  • Depending on where you are in your training process, you can complete the following: 

    • Between 5–10 hours of individual consultation for EMDR Basic Training

    • Between 5–10 hours of EMDRIA-approved consultation for EMDR Certification 

    • Accumulate 5–20 hours of consultation toward becoming an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant

A minimum commitment of 5 hours (regardless of training level) is required for a letter of recommendation to be provided to EMDRIA upon completion of requirements.

You don’t have to choose between structure and soul, and you don’t have to do this work in isolation.

 It’s possible to build a practice that reflects your clinical integrity and your humanity.
