supervision is a requirement during the entirety of my listing on this
site, and I inform all clients of this status and require a signed
disclosure statement; or
c) I am practicing mental health in a state that does not require
licensure, certification or supervision. I understand I must follow the
ethics and best practices of my profession and all state laws and
regulations to practice in the mental health field.

(unless nationally certified) or supervised, or if my state does not
require licensure, certification or supervision to practice in the

If I have received a disciplinary action from my board, such as having
my license to practice revoked or suspended, or I was put on probation,
or received a letter of reprimand, a civil penalty or paid a fine, the
disciplinary action has been fully resolved and I have satisfied my
licensing board's requirements to practice;
I will immediately notify EMDR Therapist Network if there are any changes in the information I am providing.
I have also performed the following:

Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment approach that has been widely
validated by research only with civilian PTSD, and that research on
other applications of EMDR is now in progress;
I have informed my clients that EMDR, like any psychotherapeutic
intervention, has no guarantees of success;
I have followed the EMDR Institute and EMDRIA guidelines in
preparing my client for EMDR;

5.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE PATIENT DATA You agree to not use or disclose on the
EMDR THERAPIST NETWORK Web Site, including without limitation on INNER
COURAGE's Web Services, any health information that identifies, or with respect
to which a reasonable basis exists to believe that the information can be used
to identify, an individual. Health information identifies an individual or
creates a reasonable basis to identify an individual if: (1) it is created by
or received from a health care provider, health plan, employer or health care
clearinghouse; and (2) it relates to the past, present or future physical or
mental health or condition of the individual, the provision of health care to
the individual, or the past, present or future payment for the provision of
health care to the individual.
Health
information that identifies or creates a reasonable basis to identify an
individual includes the following types of information: name, address
(including street address, city, county, zip code, or equivalent geocodes),
names of relatives and employers, birth date, telephone and fax numbers, email
addresses, social security number, medical record number, health plan
beneficiary number, account number, certificate or license number, any vehicle
or other device serial number, web URL, Internet Protocol (IP) address, finger
or voice prints, photographic images, radiographic images or other diagnostic
images that include identifying data, and any other unique identifying number,
characteristic or code (whether generally available in the public realm or not)
that you have reason to believe may be available to an anticipated recipient of
information.
Health
information may be used or disclosed without written individual authorization
only in very narrow circumstances, including where it has been de-identified by
eliminating the specified identifying information listed above and You have no
reason to believe that a reasonably anticipated recipient could use the
remaining information either alone or in combination with other information to
identify the individual. You agree that You shall be solely responsible for any
such determination and agree to indemnify INNER COURAGE for the consequences of
such determination and for any information posted by You on the EMDR THERAPIST
NETWORK Web Site, including without limitation on INNER COURAGE's Web Services,
should it identify or should the subject of such information believe it
identifies such individual.
In
the event that Federal or state requirements protecting individual health
information are more restrictive than the laws and regulations discussed in
this Agreement, and should such requirements apply to Your use of the EMDR
THERAPIST NETWORK Web Site including without limitation to INNER COURAGE's Web
Services, You agree to abide by such requirements in using or disclosing such
information and to indemnify and hold INNER COURAGE harmless for the
consequences of your violation of any and all laws.

additional codes. We encourage you to use "strong" passwords (e.g.,
an eight to twelve character code that contains upper case and lower case
letters, a mix of alpha and numeric characters, and contains words not found in
a dictionary). You are solely responsible for (1) maintaining the strict
confidentiality of the userIDs, passwords and codes ("Member
Information") assigned to You; (2) charges, damages or losses that may be
incurred or suffered as a result of Your or Your personnel's failure to
maintain the strict confidentiality of Member Information; and (3) promptly
informing INNER COURAGE in writing of any need to deactivate and replace any
Member Information due to security concerns. INNER COURAGE is not liable for
any harm related to the theft of Your Member Information, Your disclosure of
Your Member Information, or Your authorization to allow another person or
entity to access and use the Members Only Site using Your Member Information.
You agree to notify INNER COURAGE immediately as soon as You become aware of
any unauthorized use of Your Member Information. Notice to INNER COURAGE under
this section of the Agreement may be accomplished by sending e-mail to contractmanager@innercourage.com or by conventional

information I am providing;
I
have also performed the following:

I have informed my clients that EYE Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR) is a treatment approach that has been widely validated by research only
with civilian PTSD, and that research on other applications of EMDR is now in
progress,

I have specifically advised my clients that distressing, unresolved memories
may surface through the use of the EMDR procedure, that some clients have
experienced reactions during the treatment sessions that neither they nor the
administering clinician may have anticipated, including a high level of emotion
