What does it take to move through imposter syndrome, trust yourself as an EMDR therapist, and build a private practice that reflects your strengths?
In this episode, we sit down with Carly Costello, EMDR consultant, private practice owner, and the therapist behind EMDR with Carly. Carly shares how she went from using Instagram to attract local therapy clients to building an EMDR consultation business and receiving EMDRIA’s 2025 Social Media Influencer Award.
We have an honest conversation about taking risks, showing your face on social media, finding your clinical niche, and building confidence as a newer therapist. Carly also explains why many clinicians experience a difficult “hump” after EMDR basic training and how quality consultation and mentorship can help them move through self-doubt and begin trusting the EMDR process.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Overcoming imposter syndrome as a new therapist
- Building confidence after EMDR training
- Finding your niche as a mental health therapist
- Starting and growing a therapy private practice
- Using Instagram to connect with clients and consultees
- Becoming an EMDR-certified therapist and consultant
- Taking calculated risks in business
- Recognizing your strengths and outsourcing your weaknesses
- Managing big ideas, ADHD, and the less-exciting “micro tasks”
- Letting go of the belief that you must specialize in everything
If you’re a new therapist, EMDR clinician, consultant-in-training, or private practice owner who feels overwhelmed, behind, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will remind you that you don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin.
Sometimes building confidence looks like doing it scared, posting it, and moving forward anyway.
