EMDR BASIC TRAINING REGISTRATION NOW OPEN • EMDRIA APPROVED -VIRTUAL CERTIFICATION FOR CLINICIANS • EARN CE CREDITS •

EMDR Integrative Training Center, LLC.

Our EMDR Basic Training is intentionally designed to make learning this powerful but complex treatment model more manageable, practical, and accessible. Rather than asking clinicians to absorb a large volume of material in a traditional multi-day conference format, this training is offered just one day per week, allowing for a slower, more thoughtful immersion into EMDR therapy. Each week builds on the last with clear breakdowns, guided exercises, and opportunities to deepen understanding before moving on to the next phase of learning. The schedule also protects your weekends and supports work-life balance, making it easier to participate without stepping away from family, work responsibilities, or personal commitments. Because the training is held virtually, there is no need to worry about travel, hotel costs, or time lost commuting. This format is ideal for busy professionals who want high-quality EMDR training delivered in a way that is realistic, sustainable, and designed for real learning.
