EMDR Training

We offer hands-on clinical skills training for using EMDR and integrating it with your psychotherapy approach — with adults as well as children. This top-of-the-line training program features:

• Exceeds EMDRIA’s criteria for training in EMDR Therapy
• No “Parts” or “Levels” — this is the whole package, including all required consultation hours
• Bonus training modules on traumatology and attachment work
• Completers will be offered a bonus half-day training in the Flash Technique
• 50+ contact hours over several months to support mastery
• Two full pre-EMDR days on trauma treatment approach and interventions
• Instructor to participant ratio of at least 1:10 (1:6 for online EMDR practice sessions)
• Training manual (one of the text books) and other materials included
• Competitive cost
• On-site training option minimizes travel costs for your group
• Online training option eliminates travel costs

The training program involves lecture, demonstration, in-class practice, and on-the-job practice with your clients. This is an experiential training, and part of the learning is to practice the interventions with other participants. Because participants are working on their own material during the practice sessions, some individuals have reported that their participation led to facing personal issues; participants are always in charge of what they disclose in class.

Training can be provided at your location. Scheduling is flexible and can be designed to suit the needs of your organization or group. 

Participants will be able to:

• Identify clients who are ready for EMDR and prepare clients for EMDR
• Conduct an EMDR session
• Problem-solve a session that is not going smoothly
• Utilize EMDR with a wide range of clients whose presenting problems are in some way related to trauma and/or loss
• Integrate EMDR into a comprehensive trauma-informed treatment approach
• Earn 50 Continuing Education Credits (CE's)
