compassionworks-hearts-onlyPeer Consultation Groups

I’m excited to inform you that we have added 5 EMDR Peer Consultation & Support groups across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for the next year.
There is no charge for attending and participating in these groups.  They are limited to EMDR therapists who have completed EMDR Basic Training or previously Level I and Level II from either the EMDR Institute, or another EMDRIA approved program.
The intention of these groups is to get EMDR therapists talking to each other about EMDR so we can increase the quality of EMDR provided to clients in the area.
