Where Can I Find an EMDR Therapist?

While Dharma Dr Tabs can be used independently, we strongly recommend working with a licensed EMDR therapist for structured trauma processing and guided therapy. This article explains where to look and how to choose the right professional for your needs.

Finding an EMDR Therapist

• EMDR International Association (EMDRIA): The official therapist directory is available at emdria.org/find-a-therapist.
• Psychology Today: Visit psychologytoday.com and filter for EMDR-trained therapists in your area.
• GoodTherapy: A directory of therapists who specifically list EMDR as part of their practice. goodtherapy.org/therapists/emdr-therapy
• TherapyDen: More inclusive search platform, lets you filter for EMDR along with focus on trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming, and other specialized needs. therapyden.com
• Local referrals: Ask your doctor, counselor, or community health clinic for EMDR-trained professionals.
• Telehealth options: Many EMDR therapists now offer secure virtual sessions using Dharma Dr’s Remote Access feature.
• EMDR Europe Association: If you’re in Europe, this is the official resource for EMDR-trained professionals across EU member countries. emdr-europe.org/members/

What to Look For

• Certification: Verify that the therapist is EMDRIA-certified or trained through an accredited EMDR program.
