EMDR Clinical Consultations for
Therapists in Texas
Professional support for EMDR therapists
As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ and EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training™, I offer clinical EMDR consultations for licensed therapists in Texas who are pursuing EMDR certification, seeking guidance in their practice, or needing professional support with complex trauma cases. The goal of a clinical EMDR consultation is to deepen clinical understanding of how to help clients process trauma in a safe and effective way using EMDR.
About Me
I’m Amelia Owen, a Texas-based LPC and EMDR-certified therapist. EMDR therapy is a powerful, researched-backed, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that has proven to be highly effective at helping hurting individuals experience freedom from their trauma. As a clinician who’s spent the last 11+ years specialized in complex trauma counseling, it’s an honor to mentor and guide my fellow clinicians as they learn to safely administer EMDR therapy with excellence.

About clinical consultations
Clinical consultations are not therapy. My EMDR consultation services are designed for licensed therapists who want to improve their ability to administer EMDR therapy. Each consultation session provides a confidential, collaborative space where therapists can deepen their understanding of the EMDR framework, strengthen clinical confidence, and receive comprehensive feedback on complex cases.
I offer both individual and group EMDR consultations. Individual EMDR consultations are available virtually or in-person at my office in Kyle, Texas. At this time, group EMDR consultation sessions are only available virtually.
CONSULTATION COST
- Individual consultation sessions are offered at $150 per 55-minute session.
- Group consultations (4-6 clinicians max) are available at $70 per participant per 55-minute session.
*Please note that EMDR consultations are currently available at a reduced rate while I’m completing EMDRIA Approved Consultant™ certification.
Who are
consultations for?
- Licensed therapists (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LADC, etc.)
- Licensed therapists working toward EMDR certification (see below)
- Clinicians who are looking for trauma-informed, somatic-based guidance
- Clinicians who are seeking professional mentorship in an EMDR-focused environment
Consultation for EMDR Certification:
For therapists pursuing EMDR certification through EMDRIA™ consultation hours are an especially beneficial opportunity to refine clinical skills while receiving mentorship from an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™. Clinical EMDR consultations are often one of the most valuable components of the EMDR training process, allowing therapists to integrate theoretical knowledge with real-world clinical experience.
Consultation format
From case conceptualization to integrating somatic techniques into EMDR work, my clinical consultations are designed to empower clinicians with the insights and experience they need to be capable and confident in their EMDR practice and provide the highest possible care.
During consultation sessions, we may review:
- EMDR protocol implementation
- Case presentations
- Clinical decision-making within the EMDR framework
- Therapist questions related to trauma treatment
Before scheduling a consultation, a brief discovery call is required to ensure alignment and determine whether my consultation style is a good fit for what you’re needing. Please note that my clinical consultations are discussion-based and do not include written annotation or out-of-session case reviews.
A specialized approach – EMDR and embodied trauma
EMDR therapy can accomplish its best work when we understand the connection between trauma and the body. Embodied trauma represents the entirety of the traumatic experience, and the concept explains how and why traumatic distress often includes psychosomatic symptoms. IE: Dysregulated nervous system, hot flashes, numbness, mental dissociation, altered perceptions, and chronic pain.
Somatic EMDR therapy is body-oriented, meaning, the focus is on the mind-body connection and understanding the intricate relationship between body sensations, emotions, and psychological experiences. My approach to EMDR therapy is highly somatic, and in my clinical consultations, I equip therapists with learning how to identify and release somatic tension and support the body in processing trauma in conjunction with EMDR.
How is trauma therapy different?
While I do provide intentional feedback and guidance, I don’t do rigid evaluations. My consultations are designed to foster meaningful clinical dialogue and empower therapists with the somatic insights they need for effective EMDR administration. This includes exploring the common ways traumatic memories are stored as broken, unintegrated sensory pieces, and how that fragmentation contributes to re-experiencing and reliving symptoms of trauma.
Together, we’ll explore somatic-informed trauma topics such as:
- The principles of somatic-informed EMDR therapy
- Sensory feedback systems and somatic resourcing
- Somatic literacy and how to facilitate bodily attunement
- Somatic grounding techniques to facilitate emotional regulation
- Physiological interventions to help clients practice dual awareness
Other topics may include:
- Increased tension and ‘holding’ patterns – Understanding how ‘bracing’ can create constriction and pain
- Bioenergetics – Learning how persistent chronic pain and trauma can mutually reinforce each other
- Syndrome experience – Identifying the underlying pattern and cause of a group of symptoms
- Somatic psychotherapy origins – Conceptualizing the physiological source of trauma symptoms
- Somatic markers – Exploring the quiet (often subconscious) way memories are stored as physical sensations
- Implicit memory – Understanding automatic physical reactions and response patterns to triggers
- Explicit memory – Processing fully conscious memories of factual information and lived experiences
How the clinical consultation process works
Step 1: Consider what type of clinical support you’re needing.
Ask yourself…
- Do I need expert support to guide my clinical work with complex cases?
- Do I need general framework training to begin offering EMDR therapy services?
- Do I need consultation hours as I pursue EMDR certification?
- Would my practice benefit more from individual consultation experience or a group format?
STEP 2: Book a discovery call.
If you are curious to explore EMDR consultations and mentorship opportunities with me, the first step is to schedule a complimentary 15-minute discovery call. I’ll be happy to help you determine what type of support you’re needing and whether an individual or group format would be better.
STEP 3: Book your consultation.
Once we’ve confirmed clinical alignment, we’ll proceed to schedule either an individual or group consultation session. Currently, group consultations are virtual only. Individual consultations can be either virtual or in-person at my Kyle, Texas office. As for frequence and duration, there is no required cadence, and clinical consultations may be scheduled on an as-needed basis.
