LK Institute offers a virtual 5-Day Intensive EMDR Basic Training or an in-person/virtual 6-Day EMDR Basic Training course that spans two weekends. Our upcoming EMDR Basic Training dates are listed below.
Our EMDR Basic Training program is designed to give clinicians the knowledge, skills, and confidence to integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy into their practice. Rooted in research and guided by experienced trainers, this training goes beyond theory to provide practical, hands-on learning that prepares you to effectively use EMDR with clients from day one.
Whether you are new to trauma-focused therapy or looking to deepen your existing clinical approach, our EMDR Basic Training program offers a comprehensive foundation in EMDR’s eight phases, along with supervised practice and supportive feedback. We are committed to creating a learning environment that feels both professional and approachable—one where participants feel supported as they grow into competent EMDR therapists.
EMDR psychotherapy began as a trauma-focused treatment and has since grown into a widely researched and evidence-based therapy. Decades of studies now show its effectiveness not only for trauma, but also for a range of concerns including anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, and personality disorders. Training in EMDR equips clinicians with a powerful, versatile skillset that can significantly enhance client outcomes.
Our goal is for every participant to leave training feeling both competent and confident in their ability to use EMDR in clinical practice. EMDR Basic Training is more than a lecture—it’s an immersive learning experience. You’ll gain a strong understanding of the theory behind EMDR while also practicing as both a clinician and client during training sessions. This hands-on approach ensures you not only learn the concepts but also experience the therapy in a meaningful way.
To practice EMDR effectively and ethically, it’s important to receive training that meets the highest professional standards. That’s why our EMDR Basic Training is fully approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA). This guarantees that you’ll meet all required objectives and leave with the skills to confidently integrate EMDR into your practice.
We understand that every clinician’s schedule and learning style is different. That’s why we offer both live online and in-person training sessions. Our online option allows you to attend from anywhere, while our in-person sessions offer added opportunities for interaction and connection. Please note that not every training is available in both formats—be sure to review the training details for your preferred option.
