EMDR Basic Training (Parts I and II)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is an evidence-based treatment approach for a range of client presenting issues (particularly trauma-related). It incorporates somatic, emotional, cognitive, and narrative elements, and it facilitates accelerated reduction of clients’ symptoms due to adverse experiences.
EMDR Basic Training includes Part I and Part II, as well as 10 hours of consultation on EMDR Therapy, and reading an EMDR Therapy book by Francine Shapiro. This EMDR Basic Training is EMDRIA-Approved.
Clinicians are expected to begin using EMDR therapy with clients after completion of Part I and using group consultation to review these cases. The entire training must be completed within a 12-month period. Trainings include lecture, discussion, experiential exercises, demonstrations, and small group practice – all live, online or in-person! EMDR Basic Training is available to licensed mental health professionals or people working toward licensure and under the supervision of a licensed professional.

Testimonials
I really loved the training, I felt like it was so packed with knowledge but my learning never felt rushed, and the facilitators and instructor were all very knowledgeable and offered feedback in a great and supportive environment.
Although I was extremely nervous about practicing in groups, the support of the facilitators during the practices, and the awesome trainee’s patience with me as I was learning, made the experience a very positive one.
Very well planned and organized and the trainer and facilitators are all masters in EMDR. I really appreciate their responsiveness to participants’ questions and nuances of the practice with rich examples from their own.
This training was life changing as a therapist. I am SO very grateful to have had this experience. Thank you for being so warm and strengths based. I will be recommending this training to ALL of my therapist friends 🙂
The training was rigorous and intense. Today’s session really honed in the experience – and truly felt life changing, from a personal perspective (client) and as an in-training EMDR therapist.
Excellent organization. Kind, compassionate, passionate, and knowledgeable instructors! Wonderful and warm online environment.
We have found Scaling Up to be a wonderful company to work with. Eight of our employees have taken their trainings and we have found them responsive to our needs and easy to work with.
We have engaged in many clinic wide trainings over the past 30 years and this was across the board and by far one of the highest quality and most useful trainings we have had. Scaling Up was professional, timely, well-informed and able to address issues that arose in real time to make sure that everyone involved was comfortable. As a non-profit organization, we never would have been able to afford this critical training without Scaling Up and are so grateful for their commitment to lower resourced populations.
