I remember how excited I was when I first trained in EMDR therapy. I noticed excitement to use it with my adult clients but then a hesitation when thinking about using it with kiddos! I have talked with many other EMDR therapists, and they have shared having a similar experience.

My goal for this training is to provide you with the necessary information to feel confident in either beginning to use it with your child clients or in continuing to use it. This overview includes methodology, the 8 phases, 3 prongs, and common stuck points. This four-hour training will focus on learning how to tailor the 8 phases of EMDR Therapy to fit the developmental level of child clients, along with addressing special populations and common mistakes and stuck points.

This training is appropriate for all mental health professionals who have been trained in EMDR Therapy through an EMDRIA approved basic training. The course comes with 4 EMDRIA credits. Licensure CE’s can be purchased for an additional $30. Before purchasing license CE’s, please ensure that it meets your state or professional licensure requirements. Licensing regulations vary by state, and it is the participant's responsibility to confirm course approval.

This training is specifically designed to be simple and provide you with the most concise and important information, presented in a way that is easy to learn. This training is meant to enable you to build your confidence using EMDR Therapy with your child clients.
