Who can become an EMDR clinician?
Following EMDRIA standards, independent EMDR clinicians should have completed masters level graduate education in a clinical mental health field and be either a licensed professional or a trainee on a licensure track, working under a licensed supervisor. EMDR HAP recognizes that licensure standards vary regionally and nationally. In some cases, individuals who regularly do clinical work in an agency setting are not licensed. We are able to offer training to such practitioners provided that they have the requisite clinical education, and that their agency provides them with a licensed supervisor and assumes liability for their work.
