Meet Your EMDRIA Approved Consultant
Derrick Martin, LPCC-S
Derrick Martin is an independently Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a state supervisor designation (LPCC-S), licensed in Ohio. He is also a certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, bringing advanced expertise in trauma-focused care and clinician development. Derrick’s approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, insight, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. He works from a trauma-informed, person-centered framework, creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to engage in meaningful healing.
A Consultant and Clinician Dedicated to Your Growth
Choosing an EMDR consultant is more than a requirement for certification—it’s a decision that shapes your confidence, your clinical skill, and the way you show up for clients long after consultation ends. Derrick brings a rare combination of real-world trauma experience, advanced clinical training, and lived understanding of healing that deeply informs the way he supports clinicians.
He doesn’t approach consultation as a checklist or a formality. He approaches it as a collaborative process of becoming a more grounded, capable, and confident EMDR therapist. Because Derrick has sat on both sides of the therapy room—as a first responder facing repeated trauma, as a client experiencing EMDR firsthand, and now as a clinician and EMDRIA Approved Consultant—he understands what is required not just to learn EMDR, but to trust yourself using it when cases get complex. That perspective changes everything in consultation.
You’re not just getting feedback on cases—you’re getting insight from someone who understands:
- What it feels like when trauma work becomes overwhelming or unclear
- How quickly confidence can shift when a client becomes “stuck” in processing
- What it takes to stay steady, grounded, and clinically effective in high-intensity trauma work
Derrick’s consultation style reflects that understanding. He meets clinicians where they are, helps them slow down complex cases, and teaches them how to think more clearly and confidently through the EMDR process—not just follow steps. This is what makes working with him different.
Clinicians don’t just leave consultation with completed hours—they leave with:
- A stronger clinical identity as an EMDR therapist
- Greater trust in their decision-making
- A clearer understanding of how to adapt EMDR with real-world complexity
- And a deeper sense of calm and competence when working with trauma
If you’re looking for a consultant who simply checks the EMDRIA requirement, there are many options. But if you’re looking for someone who will help you grow into the kind of EMDR therapist who can confidently sit with complexity, stay grounded in uncertainty, and do meaningful trauma work with clarity and skill—Derrick is exactly that kind of consultant.
