At Helicon we’re building an answer to the mental health epidemic. Rather than reinvent the wheel – we aim to support and leverage a well-established, high-impact, rapid-resolution treatment approach: EMDR.
Certification, Clients, & Community. Everything EMDR Therapists Need to Thrive.
Currently under pilot, Helicon is a clinician-led company with ambitious goals to build an exclusive ecosystem for EMDR therapists.
If we’re successful, you’ll gain opportunities to expand your impact, accelerate your professional growth, and market yourself to high-stakes clients from organizations that value specialized trauma care.
Our humble beginnings to provide you with foundational support: consultation matching and tracking tools for EMDR therapists looking to expand their proficiency, get certified, and level up their career.
Most EMDR therapists start training but never become certified. Many struggle to find the right clients and never feel fully confident in using EMDR. Without the right support, it’s easy to stay stuck - isolated, unsure, and scrambling for referrals.
Helicon is changing that. We aim to provide the consultation, community, and marketing to fast-track your certification, sharpen your skills, and grow a thriving EMDR practice. Don’t leave your EMDR career up to chance - join a developing ecosystem designed to help you succeed.

Opportunities to Grow Your Practice

A Thriving EMDR Community (Future Feature)

Private Marketing to High-Stakes Client Sources (Future Goal)
Skip the inefficiencies of insurance panels and generic therapy directories. We’re building a model to connect your profile with organizations seeking EMDR specialists for their workforce, increasing your ability to attract aligned clients.
How it Works:
A Turnkey Solution for EMDR Therapists
1. The Problem (Limited Visibility, Mismatched Referrals, Professional Isolation)
Many EMDR therapists take lower pay than they should, and struggle to find aligned referrals that match their expertise, often relying on insurance-driven models that undervalue specialized care.
The existing mental health marketplace makes it difficult to connect with agencies, first responders, and high-performance professionals who truly benefit from advanced EMDR applications.
Without consistent consultation and professional development, therapists may find themselves isolated or uncertain about how to refine their skills in special protocols, performance enhancement, and complex trauma treatment.
2. The Solution (Helicon: exclusive consultation matching, tracking, and future opportunities)
Gain access to a supportive EMDR community, where therapists cross-pollinate ideas, exchange referrals, and sharpen their skills through ongoing consultation and training.
Once we have a network using our early features, we intend to build a private therapist directory to market you directly to agencies, organizations, and high-stress professions seeking specialized trauma recovery and performance-focused care (requires additional application and vetting).
Work toward EMDRIA Certification, ensuring you are positioned as a top-tier specialist in an exclusive, high-impact provider network.
3. The Outcome (More support, More Growth, More Impact)
By joining Helicon, therapists can experience:
✅ A pathway for professional expansion – Scale your practice with opportunities to grow into consulting, training, and leadership.
✅ Faster, more effective connections – Bypass the inefficiencies of traditional directories to build meaningful consultation relationships faster.
✅ A connected, thriving therapist community – Join a collaborative environment where EMDR professionals support each other, refine their specializations, and stay at the forefront of the field.
✅ Increased opportunity for aligned, engaged clients – Once foundational network of therapists are using Helicon, we aim to build direct marketing access to organizations that prioritize EMDR for workforce wellness and resilience.

Take Control of Your EMDR Career with Helicon
Too many EMDR therapists struggle in isolation, unsure of how to grow their skills, attract the right clients, or gain certification. Without the right support and referrals, it’s easy to feel stuck—underutilizing your training, scrambling for mismatched clients, and missing the full potential of your practice.
If you're not actively working toward certification and consultation, you may face:
🚩 Never Becoming an EMDR Certified Therapist – Many therapists start the EMDR journey but never complete certification due to lack of guidance, cost concerns, or not knowing the next steps. Without certification, you may struggle to build credibility, attract the right clients, and qualify for advanced opportunities.
🚩 Stagnation in Your Clinical Growth – Without consultation and mentorship, it’s easy to feel uncertain about when and how to modify EMDR for complex cases, leaving you less effective and less confident in your skills.
🚩 Professional Isolation – Many therapists end up practicing alone, missing out on peer collaboration, expert guidance, and access to an engaged EMDR community. Without a strong network, your learning plateaus and your professional connections remain limited.
🚩 Scrambling for Referrals & Taking Mismatched Clients – Without a reliable marketing referral source, many EMDR therapists end up taking on cases that don’t align with their expertise—or worse, relying on insurance-driven models that devalue specialized trauma work and limit financial growth.
We’re EMDR Providers Too. We Know.
You’ve Probably Worried About at Least One of the Top 3 Complaints:
"Certification Consultation is Too Expensive" → One therapy session pays for six months to a year of monthly membership fees with Helicon. Investing in certification means raising your rates, attracting better clients, and being seen as an expert. Our structured consultation saves you time and ensures you actually complete the process.
"Marketing is Too Difficult or Uncomfortable" → You shouldn’t have to be a marketing expert to attract the right clients. Our goal is handle this for you—once we have enough therapist on the platform, we plan to build a directory that connects you directly with agencies and clients looking for EMDR specialists like you.
"This is Too Time-Consuming" → We streamline every step - consultation tracking, peer support, and marketing (future goal) - so you can focus on therapy, not logistics or admin.

✅ Join a Thriving Community of EMDR Specialists – No more practicing in isolation. Surround yourself with professionals who support, mentor, and challenge you to grow.
✅ Gain Direct Marketing to High-Stakes Clients (Future Goal)– Instead of waiting for clients to find you, Helicon has plans to put you in front of agencies, businesses, and organizations actively seeking advanced EMDR therapists. This will require enough therapists using the platform before we can build it.
