Membership qualifications
IEDTA membership is open to anyone with a university degree and a government-issued registration, certification or license that allows them to practice in their country.
Membership does not indicate certification or endorsement of therapeutic expertise by the IEDTA.
Members are expected to comply with the ethics standards of their licensing organization and the ethics standards of the IEDTA. We also ask members to notify us if an ethics complaint has been made against them. If a member violates the ethics standards that apply to them, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend their membership.

Reduced fee option
In light of the economic diversity represented in our international community, we are piloting a new payment option for IEDTA membership.
Between now and April 1st, 2026, you may request a reduced 2-year membership fee equivalent to one session fee based on your standard hourly psychotherapy rate. This would be in lieu of the standard $200 price for a 2-year membership.
Our hope is that this option will make IEDTA membership more accessible for people in countries or situations that are relatively lower-income, where the standard membership price is cost-prohibitive.
If you’d like to be considered for this payment option, please email membership@iedta.net with the subject line “Requesting Reduced Fee Option for IEDTA Membership” and list your session fee. Our assistant will then reply to get more information and help process your request.
Monthly payment option
We also understand that some people would prefer to subscribe to our membership on a monthly basis. This allows prospective members a chance to test out the services offered in our member portal.
The fee for monthly membership is $10/month and will be set up for automatic renewal until told to cancel or transfer to the standard 2-year membership (which would save $40 over 2 years).
In addition, monthly members will not get access to event discounts (such as our biennial conference), and will not be allowed to vote in IEDTA Board elections.
If you are interested in a monthly membership, please email membership@iedta.net with this request and our assistant will provide the appropriate invoice and registration link.
“IEDTA membership provides a TON of resources and support. I have met lifelong friends, and made lasting referral relationships which have supported my business.”
