EMDR Training Program

EMDRIA-Approved "Basic Training". The complete course.
For therapists working with all ages - adults and kids.

This is a hands-on clinical skills training for using EMDR and integrating it with your psychotherapy approach. This top-of-the-line training program features:

• Exceeds EMDRIA's criteria for EMDR training.
• No "Parts" or "Levels" -- this is the whole package.
• 52 contact hours over several months to support mastery.
• Two full pre-EMDR days on trauma treatment approach and interventions.
• Small group size (max of 30, most courses smaller).
• Instructor to participant ratio of at least 1:10.
• Text book and other materials included.
• Follow-up group consultation sessions included.
• Competitive cost.
• On-site training option minimizes travel costs for your group.

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.

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

Objectives:
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.

• Otherwise, only closed trainings are scheduled (e.g. for an agency or institution). To schedule a training for your group, contact the Child Trauma Institute. Individuals may also organize trainings and receive a discount on tuition.

Most importantly, though, this training is designed to maximize your ability to get good at doing EMDR, and at conducting treatment so that EMDR can be used appropriately. EMDR is a complex intervention that takes a lot of training and supervised practice to really master. We pioneered the full-package EMDR training, which has become the standard nationwide. We believe that our program represents an excellent value for your training investment.

Certification in EMDR: The EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) also offers a Certification credential for advanced EMDR-trained therapists. Certification requires completion of an EMDRIA-approved basic training program (such as this one), practice with clients, EMDR-focused consultation, and continuing education approved by EMDRIA. Information about Certification can be found on the EMDRIA web site.
