THIS IS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE DESIGNED FOR CHILD AND ADOLESCENT CLINICIANS WORKING IN SCHOOL SETTINGS
You’ll receive the full EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training along with substantial information on EMDR Treatment delivery in schools. You’ll also receive hours of consultation with expert child and adolescent clinicians.
TRAINING OVERVIEW
This is a training designed for clinicians who have not yet received formal training in EMDR therapy. Our EMDR Basic Training meets EMDRIA standards and offers 12 additional hours on the use of EMDR therapy with children and adolescents in school settings, for a total of 62 hours of training! If you work with clients across the lifespan, you will still receive the information on EMDR therapy for adults required by EMDRIA.
We’ll provide a safe learning and relational environment that will enhance your overall experience.
We will work within a "school delivery continuum" from capacity building and preparation-based treatment to full EMDR treatment including trauma processing.
Based on where you are on the continuum and the focus of your school practice, you will develop the skills to utilize partial or the complete eight phases of EMDR treatment and utilize procedural steps while guided by case conceptualization and moment-to-moment decision-making markers founded on the Adaptive Information Processing model (AIP) (Shapiro).
You will also learn how to address trauma-related symptoms using a neuroscience-informed, depathologizing, and deshaming approach that honors diversity and recognizes the uniqueness of each individual across the lifespan!
If you are already trained in EMDR therapy and would like to update your knowledge, you may take this training as a refresher at a reduced rate, participating only in the lecture portion.
Basic Training Content
Your full EMDR basic training consists of:
- 20 hours of theory
- 20 hours of practice
- 8 hours of specialized training on the use of EMDR therapy with children and adolescents in school settings
- 4 hours of pre-recorded training videos on neurosciences, attachment theory, and additional specialized training on using EMDR therapy with children and adolescents in school settings!
- 10 hours of consultation with expert child and adolescent clinicians
- A total of 62 hours and 48 CEs
Our trainings bring together adherence to Shapiro's Model with the latest findings in neurosciences, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, trauma and complex traumatization, the polyvagal theory and more!
Our EMDR Basic Training is offered in two comprehensive parts and emphasizes the thoughtful implementation of EMDR therapy’s procedural steps with clarity, integrity, and depth. School-based clinicians are guided in learning how to assess, prepare, and engage students in trauma reprocessing in developmentally responsive ways that fit the realities of school settings. Strong emphasis is placed on nervous system regulation, and attachment-informed care, equipping professionals to support students across diverse developmental capacities while maintaining safety and collaboration within the school environment.

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
