EMDR Consultation
Offering Individual and Group EMDR Consultation to help you become the EMDR Therapist that your client’s need!
Maraeca Butler is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant™ and Certified Therapist™.
Mastery begins with curiosity.
Through collaborative consultation, we'll strengthen your clinical reasoning, deepen your understanding of the AIP model, and build the confidence to navigate complexity with intention.
I completed my EMDR Basic Training in 2015 and since have had the honor of being trained and mentored by Deany Laliotis, Mary French, Arielle Schwartz and others who have shared thier expertiese and knowledge with me over the years. I am eager to pass on the wealth of knowledge I have gathered along my journey and foster the same mentorship that I have been able to receive with my Consultees. By providing an encouraging and fun space, my aim is for you to learn while enjoying the process!
With experience facilitating EMDR Basic Training and Advanced Level Trainings, I have crafted a teaching style that allows my consultees to gain an in-depth understanding of “why we do what we do” in EMDR Therapy and how to utilize EMDR to meet our clients needs. My aim is to help my consultees build a strong foundation in AIP Conceptualization so that they can feel confident navigating the issues their clients want to resolve and the best Protocol to utilize. Using clear and concise language, I will work with you to find the best next steps that you can take directly into your next session with your client.
In both my clinical practice and my work as a Consultant, I have first hand experience with the power of EMDR Therapy. I assist fellow therapists in finding their way out of those “stuck” points that come up along the way. I am passionate about building your confidence while providing a safe place to ask the questions we all have. “What do I do when my client say’s nothing is coming up?” “The target memory keeps changing, what now?” “My clients SUD has not dropped and it’s been more than 3 sessions! HELP!”
I specialize in utilizing EMDR Therapy in the treatment of: attachment trauma, eating disorders, sexual abuse, perinatal mental health, medical trauma and chronic illness, spiritual trauma and OCD. I am also well-versed in dissociation and the use of Ego States/Parts Work combined with EMDR. I work with both emerging and newly trained EMDR Thearpist and those looking to futher their specialization in this modality. Whether you are working towards EMDR Certification, hoping to become a Consultant in Training or just wanting a place to seek support and guidance on your cases, reach out today to learn more about how I can partner with you towards your goals!

Looking for Consultation for EMDR Certification?
Or to become a Consultant-in-Training?
Let’s Work Together!
Both individual and group consultation are available and can apply to the consultation hours needed for EMDRIA Certification. All consultation services are provided remotely and out-of-state clinicians are welcome! To discover more about the EMDR consultation and training offered by Maraeca, do not hesitate to reach out to info@hoperebuilt.com or through the form below.
Following EMDR basic training, many people go on to become certified in EMDR, a process of accumulating case experience, continuing education, and a minimum of 20 hours of case consultation under an Approved Consultant. Half of the case consultation hours may be obtained in a group setting. Frequently asked questions about certification are best answered on EMDRIA’s website.

Maraeca is so knowledgable and helpful with providing practical tools to help me get unstuck, as well as challenged me with the "why" behind my decisions. She is transparent, keeps us focused so I always leave with many takeaways I can work on between our calls.

Maraeca is oriented to my strengths as well as my growth areas and actively highlights both in compassionate ways. Maraeca is thorough, always comes prepared and is so insightful. I really value our time together! She is also extremely knowledgeable and a great teacher.

I have felt like my understanding of clients' issues, targeting their needs thoughtfully, and guiding them mindfully through reprocessing has grown immensely since working with Maraeca. She also encouraged me to take a training she thought would enhance my learning which was, indeed, extremely valuable.
-MHA
Working with Maraeca for EMDR certification consultation has been such a valuable experience. Her guidance helped me build confidence in my skills and deepen my understanding of EMDR, especially when working through complex clients and issues. She creates a supportive, thoughtful space to ask questions, reflect on challenges and celebrate growth. I appreciate her ability to balance challenging me with warmth, helping me expand my perspective and clinical range. I left each consultation feeling more grounded, capable, and inspired.

I was able to submit for my EMDR Certification recently and have grown in my confidence as an EMDR therapist. I have less imposter syndrome and have learned to lean into the art of EMDR.
-CC
I’ve been in a few different EMDR Consultation groups and my experience with Maraeca is far better than anything I have experienced before. I not only got real solutions on my cases, but I gained a community of other EMDR clinicians that I am still in contact with.
-CB
I tell everyone I know about Maraeca and how much I’ve learned from her! Her knowledge about eating disorders is above and beyond and I learned so much about how to apply EMDR to this population.
