How to find an EMDR therapist in the United States
EMDRIA maintains a public directory of members who provide EMDR therapy. You can search by location, name and other criteria, but EMDRIA itself says it cannot recommend practitioners or warrant their competence.
This is not a government register, and inclusion does not replace the professional licence or registration required in the jurisdiction. EMDR Match does not individually recommend or validate its members.
How this directory is populated
A practitioner needs Full Membership and must opt in to the public directory. Membership is not the same as the EMDR Certified Therapist credential, so read each profile’s category carefully.
How to narrow your search in United States
Use a wider radius for a state or large region. Then verify an active professional licence in the state where you will be located during sessions, online availability and experience relevant to your concern.

Does being listed guarantee that the practitioner is right for me?
No. Inclusion is a checkable signal, but you should also consider relevant experience, language, format, availability and personal fit.
Is EMDR Match affiliated with this association?
No. EMDR Match links to the source to make searching more transparent; it does not copy profiles, charge for referrals or take part in inclusion decisions.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask about current professional registration, EMDR training, experience with concerns like yours, stabilisation planning, format, fees and what happens if you need urgent help.
