AGATE Story
AGATE (Ana Gomez Attachment Trauma Education) Institute was founded in 2013 to provide comprehensive and transformative training programs to EMDR clinicians working with clients affected by trauma with the latest literature and research on trauma treatment. We were one of the first organizations to provide advanced Online EMDR trainings offering EMDRIA CEs in the USA and around the world.
We have organized dozens of Online summits attended by thousands of clinicians worldwide with some of the best trauma and EMDR experts on complex trauma and dissociation, addictions, neurobiology, and attachment.
We organized the first summit of EMDR therapy with children in 2017. Multiple workshops on EMDR with children and adolescents have been delivered in the last ten years.
The AGATE Institute partnered in 2019 with the Vermont Permanency Initiative (VPI) to organize the 1st Child and Adolescent Complex Trauma Conference in Vermont.
We have also trained thousands of Spanish-speaking clinicians on a wide range of topics related to EMDR therapy and trauma treatment.
The AGATE Institute and Ana Gomez have over 225 hours of training content and over 50 hours of pre-recorded trainings. Now we have added extensive and unique possibilities for your basic EMDR training!
In 2016 our Institute had the idea of providing accreditation to EMDR child clinicians. We are now creating a pathway for clinicians to become certified as EMDR Child Specialists and as EMDR Child Specialist Consultants.
We believe in inclusion and providing a safe relational environment where learning and growth are possible!
The AGATE Institute and Ana Gomez have created a complete journey for you to transform your clinical practice!
Brilliant training! Thank you, Ana, your kindness and sharing your knowledge with us! I enjoyed every minute of this training!
Complex PTSD Attachment and Dissociative Symptoms: Treating Children with Pervasive Emotional Dysregulation Using EMDR Therapy and Adjunctive Approach
This honestly has been one of the best trainings I have ever been to! Ana's presentation was thorough and data-based, especially supported and practical. I also took 26 pages of notes in 10 point font, which positively surprised me as the ease of interaction from a webinar. This was an excellent format and I will take advantage of it in the future. A+++!!

Complex PTSD Attachment and Dissociative Symptoms: Treating Children with Pervasive Emotional Dysregulation Using EMDR Therapy and Adjunctive Approach
Brilliant!! I feel excited and inspired by this learning opportunity, also sad because I wish this could have been possible 10 years ago. I would have been able to access/learn this and be more skillful sooner. Speaking as someone far away from training opportunities.

Healing the Attachment System
I can’t think of a more inspirational workshop that I have recently attended. I have a degree in music and yet I seem to always need permission and or reminders to use my right brain with both adults and children. Thank you for an enchanting and incredibly educational afternoon. (I work mostly with adults)
Healing the Attachment System
Ana, you are an EMDR treasure! I am inspired by your creativity, your clarity & your enthusiasm. I am in awe by your genius. Thanks so much.
