An EMDR directory is a curated catalog of therapists who are trained and qualified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. These directories help people seeking trauma-focused treatment find a qualified professional — whether for PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, phobias, or other psychological difficulties that EMDR is known to treat effectively.
The most authoritative EMDR directory in the world is maintained by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA), based in the United States. EMDRIA sets the gold standard for EMDR training and accreditation. Their directory lists thousands of therapists who have completed EMDRIA-approved training programs and meet strict continuing education requirements.
However, the official EMDRIA directory — while comprehensive — can be overwhelming. It often presents therapists as a plain list with minimal filtering options, no photos, and limited information about each specialist's unique approach, pricing, or session formats. This is where e-mdr.com steps in.
We built the e-mdr.com directory with one goal: make finding the right EMDR therapist as easy, transparent, and visually clear as possible. Here's what sets us apart:
Instead of a dry, text-only list, every therapist in our directory is presented as a visual card with:
This card-based layout lets you scan through therapists quickly and intuitively, much like browsing a modern app — not a 1990s database.
We give preference to EMDRIA-accredited therapists. This means:
In essence, our directory significantly mirrors the EMDRIA directory in terms of who is listed — but we go further by actively prioritizing and highlighting EMDRIA therapists, rather than mixing them indistinguishably with other practitioners.
Every therapist in our catalog who holds EMDRIA accreditation is marked with a distinctive "EMDRIA-Certified" badge. This badge is:
One of the biggest frustrations with traditional therapist directories is the lack of pricing information. On e-mdr.com, every therapist card shows their session rate upfront. No surprises, no awkward conversations — you know the cost before you reach out.
Our rates range from $50 to $100 per 50-minute session, depending on the therapist's specialization and experience level. We also offer a free 20-minute introductory session so you can meet your therapist and discuss your needs with zero financial commitment.
While many directories are limited to one country or language, e-mdr.com is genuinely global. Our therapists conduct sessions in:
Sessions are available online worldwide and face-to-face in select cities across the globe — from New York and London to Dubai, Tokyo, and Seoul.

Let's be transparent: we intentionally mirror the EMDRIA directory in one crucial respect — who qualifies to be listed. Just like EMDRIA, we require our therapists to have completed rigorous, EMDRIA-approved training. Many of our specialists are, in fact, listed on both directories.
But we don't stop at duplication. Here's how we improve the experience:
Think of it this way: the EMDRIA directory is the authoritative reference — the "phone book" of EMDR therapists. e-mdr.com is the modern, user-friendly app built on top of that same trusted foundation. We don't replace EMDRIA; we extend and enhance it for the benefit of people seeking therapy.
