Dr. Stephanie Baron

You want the highest level of skill and integrity when you choose an EMDR therapist or when you seek consultation to grow your own practice. I am Dr. Stephanie Baron, and I bring more than 25 years of clinical experience to every session and consultation hour. As an EMDRIA-approved consultant, I guide both clients and fellow therapists through the EMDR process with clarity, care, and fidelity to the model. At myemdrtherapist, our focus remains on safe, effective healing and professional development that meets the gold standard set by EMDRIA.

My Path to EMDRIA Approval

I completed all required training, supervision, and case consultation hours years ago. Then I submitted detailed case material and passed a rigorous review process. EMDRIA granted me approved consultant status because I demonstrate consistent, ethical, and skilled application of EMDR. This credential allows me to provide the official consultation hours needed for certification and to support other therapists in their growth.

​

What EMDRIA Approval Really Means for You

Clients often ask how to find a truly qualified practitioner. When you see an EMDR approved consultant on a profile, you know the clinician has gone beyond basic training and certification. I stay current with the latest research, attend advanced workshops, and consult regularly with peers. This ongoing learning ensures the work we do together remains accurate and helpful.

​

Consultation for Therapists Seeking Certification

If you are an EMDR certified therapist working toward full EMDRIA certification, I offer individual and group consultation that meets EMDRIA requirements. We review your cases carefully, discuss stuck points, refine protocol adherence, and explore ways to strengthen your skills. Many therapists find these hours clarifying and confidence-building.

​

Support for Certified Therapists Who Want to Deepen Their Practice

Even after certification, questions arise. Complex cases, transference issues, or new client presentations can feel challenging. As an EMDRIA-approved consultant, I provide a steady space to think through these situations. We explore adaptations, ethical considerations, and ways to maintain your own well-being while helping others.

​

Why Consultation Improves Client Outcomes

Therapists who receive regular consultation report greater clarity and less burnout. They catch blind spots earlier, adjust interventions more effectively, and hold stronger boundaries. Clients benefit directly from this extra layer of care. The work becomes more precise and compassionate because the therapist feels supported.

​

My Approach in Consultation Sessions

I keep sessions focused, respectful, and practical. You bring a case, share what feels difficult, and we explore together. I ask questions that help you see the material from different angles. We discuss protocol steps, timing of interventions, and how to track progress. Confidentiality stays protected at all times.

​

Balancing Client Work and Professional Growth

Many EMDRIA-certified therapist colleagues juggle busy caseloads with the desire to keep learning. I structure consultation so it fits real life—short, targeted hours that deliver clear value without overwhelming your schedule. You leave each meeting with actionable ideas and renewed energy.

​

A Safe Space for Your Questions and Concerns

No question is too small or too complex. Whether you need help with a specific phase of EMDR, managing countertransference, or integrating other modalities, I listen without judgment. My goal is to help you feel more confident and effective in the room with your clients.

​

Midway through many consultation relationships, therapists tell me they notice a quiet shift: cases that once felt stuck begin to move, and they trust their own clinical instincts more deeply.

​

Continuing Education and Community Connection

I stay active in EMDRIA events and regional study groups. This keeps me connected to the wider EMDR community and current best practices. When you work with me, you tap into that ongoing learning network indirectly through the insights I bring to our time together.

​

Your Next Step Toward Certification or Deeper Skill

Whether you are pursuing certification or simply want sharper, more confident EMDR practice, consultation with an approved consultant offers real support. As a Therapist consultant Los Angeles professionals trust for guidance and mentorship, I provide thoughtful, practical consultation tailored to your growth. I would be honored to walk alongside you in this important work.
