EMDR PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS

Between Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 and then over the months following Weekend 2, group consultations sessions will be scheduled to assist in the integration of EMDR into clinical work. It is required that trainees take the skills learned in both weekends and begin to actively use EMDR. That work is then brought to consultation for review and support. Trainees may not participate in consultation sessions without having work to present and completion of the consultation sessions is required to complete this EMDR Therapy Training.

10 hours of individual or group consultation is required to complete the EMDR Basic Training. The training staff provides consultation in small group settings via teleconferencing following Weekend 1 and continuing in the months following Weekend 2. Each EMDR Basic Training has established times for the group consultations and will be provided to you based on which training dates you are registered. If you are unable to attend one of your designated group consultation times, there is the possibility of jumping into another group to make up the missed time. We strongly encourage participants to attend each of their assigned consultations because there is not guaranteed availability in other groups. We will do our best to work with you and simply ask that you do the same.

Consultation Dates and Times for each EMDR Basic Training can be found HERE.

CE AVAILABILITY

We attempt to keep training costs as low as possible because of our belief in the power of EMDR Therapy and our vision of equipping as many clinicians as possible to use it. Currently, we do not offer Continuing Education credits  for all eligible training participants, and therefore do not include the price we pay for CEs in the registration fee. However,  we do offer credit for NBCC and APA practitioners at an additional cost for those who are interested. EMDR Basic Training consists of 40 clock hours of continuing education for Professional Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Social Work Counselors, Substance Abuse Counselors, and Licensed Psychologists. The cost of these 40 CE hours is $200. Please contact our office via email or phone to indicate if you would like to obtain these credits.
