After EMDR basic training, using EMDR with real clients can feel very different.
Many therapists seek EMDR consultations when they’re navigating:
01
Feeling uncertain in your EMDR skills and second-guessing yourself
02
Struggling to stay connected while following the EMDR protocol
03
Feeling stuck when navigating complex trauma and treatment planning
04
Managing client dysregulation and the unexpected challenges that arise during processing

Meet Angel Chou
I’m Angel Chou, an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and EMDR therapist in San Diego, CA. I have completed EMDR basic training, consultation, and advanced training, and continue to receive ongoing consultation to deepen my practice.
​
I integrate:
-
DBT, CBT, Polyvagal-informed care, and somatic approaches
-
Parts work (IFS/Ego State) in preparation phases
-
Socratic questioning, inner child work, and parts work in Phases 4–5
​
This integrative approach is especially helpful for complex trauma clients who need additional stabilization and support.
What We’ll Focus on in Consultation
In our consultation sessions, we will work together to:
Strengthen case conceptualization using the EMDR 3-prong, 8-phase model
Clarify treatment planning and how to choose targets effectively
Build strong resourcing skills to help clients feel safe and prepared
Identify common EMDR pitfalls and how to move through stuck points
Learn when and how to use cognitive interweaves
Understand when to modify protocols for complex or dysregulated clients
Areas of Specialty
I have experience using EMDR with teens, women trauma survivors, and veterans, helping them regain confidence and stability in their lives.
I also offer culturally sensitive care and faith-integrated EMDR for clients who desire Christian integration.
