A year-long IFS-informed path toward EMDRIA Approved Consultant requirements. Prerequisite: EMDRIA certification.

The consultant's chair
is a year away.

EMDR consultant training · The CIT Program

You are already the therapist other therapists ask. The CIT year gives that role structure through consultation-of-consultation, observed practice, group leadership, and nine hours of advanced education with Crystal and Morgen.

What the year buys

Standing, skill, and structure.

Consultation of consultation

You consult on real cases while Crystal and Morgen refine how you consult. The rarest room in the field: where consultants are actually made, not just titled.

The missing bridge

Clinical skill does not automatically become consultation skill. The year makes that transition visible, observed, and teachable.

A teaching path

Where the field's next trainers come from. The year builds the muscles teaching requires, on purpose.

Peers at your level

A small cohort of certified clinicians making the same climb, holding the same questions.

Crystal and Morgen, directly

Learn with the framework’s creator and with the consultant who leads the monthly group room and helps shape your practice in the chair.

Why this program exists

The next rung was requested by the clinicians already climbing.

Clinicians learning Crystal’s framework began asking for a consultant‑development path built in the same framework.

Morgen Villegas helped shape the answer from inside that path as a clinician pursuing IFS certification and EMDR consultant development. Together, the demand from graduates and the realities of consultant formation became this year: observed practice, consultation of consultation, group leadership, and advanced education.

The year, step by step

Six steps up.

  1. 01Enrollment and cohort placement
  2. 02The consultant's frame: from clinician to consultant
  3. 03Live consultation practice, observed
  4. 04Consultation of consultation with Crystal and Morgen
  5. 05Lead and shadow consultation groups
  6. 06The consultant year closes: you, in the chair

The investment

One year.
Plain math.

The next cohort begins January 11, 2027 and meets second Monday, 9–10 a.m. Mountain.Applications open until the cohort fills. EMDRIA certification is the prerequisite; if you are not there yet, the IFS‑Informed EMDR certification cohort can organize advanced learning and consultation toward that path.
