EMDR Consultation
A space to deepen, integrate, and trust your EMDR work
Reflective consultation for EMDR-trained therapists seeking depth, clarity, and culturally grounded practice
Why This Work Matters
The best consultation I ever received didn’t just sharpen my skills—it made space for my humanity.
That’s what I want to offer you.
Consultation should feel steady, spacious, and real.
A place where you don’t have to perform—where your questions, your cultural lens, and your lived experience all belong.
You deserve support that sees you as deeply as you see your clients.
Meet Your Consultant
Hi, I’m Lizet Benitez, LCSW-S — a bilingual EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, EMDR Certified Therapist, and trauma specialist.
I’ve been practicing since 2013 and have used EMDR as the foundation of my work since 2016.
My consultation style is relational, reflective, and integrative. I blend the science of trauma treatment with the art of presence—drawing from EMDR, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Polyvagal Theory, attachment theory, generational work, and parts-informed approaches.
Before founding Alivio Counseling Center, I worked in community mental health settings supporting survivors of violence, grief, and complex trauma. Those experiences taught me that effective therapy isn’t about rigid technique—it’s about attunement, pacing, and context.
In consultation, I bring that same grounded approach—one that honors your clinical intuition, cultural values, and nervous system wisdom.
Therapists I work with often leave our calls feeling clearer, more confident, and more connected to their own clinical voice.
What to Expect in EMDR Consultation
My goal is to help you refine your EMDR practice through both structure and reflection.
You can bring everything here—case questions, cultural nuance, uncertainty, new insights, and the parts of EMDR that still feel clunky.
We might slow down to map activation, explore stuck points, or look at how cultural and relational dynamics intersect with EMDR phases.
You’ll learn to integrate EMDR with modalities that align with your style—like parts-informed work, attachment repair, and nervous system regulation—while staying grounded in fidelity and intention.
This isn’t consultation that checks boxes. It’s a reflective process that helps you think, feel, and conceptualize with confidence.
Whether you’re pursuing certification or simply deepening your EMDR practice, this is space to build both competence and clarity.
