EMDR Basic Training ~ Part I 8/6-8 | Part II 9/17-19

Training days follow a combination of best adult learning approaches geared towards engaging adults in systematic and sustained activities in order to gain knowledge and skills to be able to think and practice with what is a different perspective about psychotherapy. Creating smaller groups, led by facilitators, during certain periods of the training allows trainees to practice the learning throughout each day. The two training weekends are usually separated by one or two months to provide the trainees with time to practice with their clients what was learned during the first weekend. 

Between weekend one and weekend two of the training there will be consultation hours open to participate providing an opportunity to integrate EMDR knowledge and practice as well as to clarify any questions that may surface.

During weekend two there will be a refresher of what was learned during the first weekend of the training and then more advanced training will be added that will address how to work with more complex cases.

The basic training is the beginning of a new journey for mental health professionals. The training is available for all individuals who have a degree in mental health (students and therapists in the process of seeking their license can attend with written permission from their supervisors).

Individuals who EMDR training is well suited for include:

• Psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners
• Licensed Counselors LPC/LPCC
• Marriage and Family Therapists
• Social Workers
• Students who are in a Master Program
