This Participation Agreement ("Agreement") governs participation in the EMDR Case Intensive ("Consultation") offered through LK Institute. By registering for, purchasing, accessing, attending, or participating in the EMDR Case Intensive, Participant acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agree to the terms outlined below.
Consultation Description
The EMDR Case Intensive is a small-group professional consultation experience designed to support clinicians in the development of advanced clinical skills, case conceptualization, treatment planning, and application of EMDR therapy. Consultation may include review of case materials, discussion of treatment planning, video review, case conceptualization, EMDR protocol considerations, clinical decision-making, and collaborative problem-solving. The Consultation is educational and consultative in nature and is intended to support professional development and clinical growth.
Consultant Qualifications
Lauren Kiser, PhD, LPC, CEDS-C, is the Founder and Executive Clinical Director of LK Institute. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, EMDRIA Approved Trainer, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist Consultant, and Adult Complex Trauma & Dissociation Specialist. Dr. Kiser has extensive experience treating trauma, dissociation, eating disorders, substance use disorders, anxiety disorders, and other complex clinical presentations across multiple levels of care, including inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. She has held numerous clinical leadership positions and has developed specialized treatment programs, professional trainings, and consultation services for mental health professionals. In addition to providing psychotherapy and intensive treatment services, Dr. Kiser provides professional consultation, continuing education, and advanced clinical training to mental health clinicians. Her consultation approach emphasizes thoughtful case conceptualization, strategic treatment planning, clinical decision-making, and practical application of evidence-based interventions for complex cases.
Consultation Format
The EMDR Case Intensive consists of one four-hour live virtual consultation session conducted via Zoom or another approved video conferencing platform. Participation is limited to a maximum of three clinicians per consultation group. Consultation includes advance review of submitted materials by the Consultant and approximately 75 minutes of individualized consultation time for each participant. Consultation time may include case presentation, video review, discussion of treatment planning, case conceptualization, EMDR protocol considerations, and consultation recommendations.
Consultation Fee
The fee for participation in the EMDR Case Intensive is $375.00 per participant. Payment is due at the time of registration unless otherwise specified by LK Institute.
Participant acknowledges that registration reserves one of only three available consultation spaces and includes both the live consultation session and substantial preparation time devoted to advance review of submitted materials. Accordingly, all fees paid for participation in the EMDR Case Intensive are non-refundable except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.
Required Submission Materials
To participate in the Consultation, Participant must submit all required materials no later than seven (7) calendar days prior to the scheduled consultation date.
Required materials include:
- Completed Case Conceptualization Form
- Completed Consultee Submission Attestation
- Video Recording #1 (minimum 20 minutes)
- Video Recording #2 – Meeting Room Exercise (minimum 20 minutes)
Participant is responsible for ensuring all materials are complete, accurate, and submitted by the deadline.
Failure to Submit Required Materials
Advance review of submitted materials is a core component of the EMDR Case Intensive and is essential to the individualized consultation experience. Participant understands that the consultation fee includes both the live consultation session and the Consultant's preparation time reviewing submitted materials prior to the session. If required materials are not submitted by the stated deadline, LK Institute reserves the right to decline presentation of the case, limit the scope of consultation provided, reassign consultation time, reschedule participation to a future consultation date subject to availability, or deny participation without refund. Such decisions shall be made at the sole discretion of LK Institute. Participant acknowledges that the consultation fee includes both the live consultation session and the Consultant's preparation time reviewing submitted materials in advance. Because advance review is a fundamental component of the Consultation, failure to timely submit required materials may substantially impair the consultation process and may result in forfeiture of participation rights without refund.
Scope of Consultation
The EMDR Case Intensive is intended to support professional development and enhance clinical skill through consultation and education. Consultation may include discussion of case conceptualization, treatment planning, EMDR interventions, dissociative and ego state conceptualization, clinical decision-making, and treatment recommendations.
Participant understands that consultation recommendations are based solely upon the information provided and may be limited by incomplete, inaccurate, unavailable, or misunderstood information. Consultation recommendations represent professional opinions and educational guidance based solely upon the information provided by the Participant and should not be interpreted as directives, guarantees, standards of care, legal advice, risk management advice, or clinical mandates. Participant acknowledges that reasonable clinicians may differ in their conceptualizations, treatment recommendations, and clinical opinions.
Consultation Is Not Supervision
Participant understands and agrees that participation in the EMDR Case Intensive does not constitute clinical supervision and does not establish a supervisory relationship. Participation does not create an employer-employee relationship, therapist-client relationship, consultation-retention relationship beyond the scheduled consultation, or any other ongoing professional relationship between the Consultant and the Participant's clients.
Participant remains solely responsible for all professional services provided to their clients.
Professional Responsibility
Participant retains sole responsibility for assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, informed consent, documentation, risk assessment, crisis intervention, safety planning, ethical decision-making, legal compliance, licensing board compliance, and all clinical decisions related to their clients. Participant agrees to exercise independent professional judgment when considering consultation feedback and acknowledges that implementation of any recommendation is solely their responsibility.
Client Recordings and Confidentiality
Participant represents that appropriate written client authorization has been obtained prior to submission of any recordings and that such authorization is maintained within the client's clinical record. Participant further represents that all submitted materials comply with applicable HIPAA requirements, privacy laws, professional ethical obligations, and licensing board requirements.

Risks, Benefits, and Limitations

No Guarantee of Outcomes
Participant understands and acknowledges that psychotherapy, EMDR therapy, consultation, education, and professional development activities involve numerous variables beyond the control of the Consultant and LK Institute. Consultation recommendations represent professional opinions and educational guidance based solely upon the information provided by the Participant and should not be interpreted as directives, guarantees, standards of care, legal advice, risk management advice, or clinical mandates.

Participant acknowledges that implementation of any consultation recommendation remains solely within the Participant's professional discretion and responsibility and that Participant retains sole responsibility for all professional services provided to their clients.
