    Too often therapists leave EMDR Basic Training unsure how to apply what they’ve learned, resulting in many not continuing to use what they’ve learned, or doing so in a haphazard way. We want to prevent this by giving you a different approach with the goal of helping you to fully learn & integrate EMDR therapy into your practice.

    To that end we provide:

    • A mentor approach with smaller ratio of student to staff
    • A curriculum/scheduling is shaped to actively support integration into clinical practice
    • And use of real clinical video examples of complex clients
