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 then have had the honor of learning from and being mentored by respected leaders, educators, and consultants who have shaped the field of EMDR. 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 fortunate 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 developed a teaching style that helps therapists gain an in-depth understanding of why we do what we do in EMDR Therapy and how to utilize the robust framework of the model to meet the needs of the client in front of us. My aim is to help my consultees build a strong foundation in AIP conceptualization so they can feel confident navigating the issues their clients want to resolve while remaining flexible as needed. Using clear and concise language, I will work with you to find the best next steps you can take directly into your next session with your client.

I enjoy working with EMDR therapists across the learning journey. I assist fellow therapists in finding their way out of those “stuck” points that come up along the way. For newer EMDR therapists, we will build your confidence while providing a safe place to ask the questions we all have. “What do I do when my client says nothing is coming up?” “The target memory keeps changing, what now?” “My client’s SUD has not dropped and it’s been more than three sessions! HELP!” For clinicians with more experience using EMDR, I offer a space to think through complex cases involving trauma, attachment, specialty populations, and EMDR Intensives. I also enjoy mentoring those who are taking the next step toward teaching and training others through the Consultant-in-Training (CIT) process.

I specialize in utilizing EMDR Therapy in the treatment of complex trauma, attachment and early childhood trauma, eating disorders, 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.

My work also includes EMDR education for therapists through upcoming webinars, advanced trainings, and online education. These offerings are designed to support EMDR therapists in deepening their clinical knowledge, navigating complex clinical work, and continuing to grow in their practice, so that the clients we serve can have the best possible outcomes.

As co-host of The EMDR Consultation Corner, I get to combine my passion for EMDR, clinical education, and thoughtful consultation through conversations about the complexities of EMDR practice. Alongside Christina Allen, I explore the clinical questions, challenges, and perspectives that help us think more deeply, stay curious, and provide meaningful, informed care to our clients.
