Why EMDR Training Matters for Your Practice
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) has become one of the most sought-after treatment modalities for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and a wide range of clinical presentations. Whether you work with veterans, children, first responders, or adults navigating complex trauma, EMDR treatment training equips you with a structured, researched protocol that produces measurable results.
Our EMDR course is designed for licensed therapists and pre-licensed clinicians who want hands-on, practical training they can apply immediately. You’ll learn the eight-phase protocol, practice skills in real time, and leave with the confidence to begin incorporating EMDR into your sessions right away.
What’s Included in Scaling Up’s EMDR Basic Training
When you register for our EMDR training, you’re getting a comprehensive, EMDRIA-approved program that covers everything you need to begin practicing EMDR ethically and effectively:
