Live, Online and On-Demand Course
EMDR Intensives Training
Sadie Smith, Kelly Smyth-Dent

Do you want to learn how to conduct EMDR Intensive therapy with clients?

Based on feedback from consultees and fellow colleagues, it is becoming more clear that therapists are feeling burnt out.

For us, the constant week-to-week schedule of changing clients and appointments every hour was becoming exhausting.

We needed a change of pace and we wanted to see clients get better faster.

That’s when we started switching our private practices over to conducting EMDR Intensives and we are not looking back!

Take Your Business to the Next Level with

EMDR Intensives Business Builder Retreats!

Training Overview:

Hi, we are Kelly Smyth-Dent, LCSW and Sadie Smith, LMFT (EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Consultants and Trainers) and we want to share with you our stories of changing the structure of our practices to give us more time, money and freedom to work with clients that is congruent for us.

We offer EMDR Intensives to clients both in-person and virtually that can get them results faster and gives us the lifestyles that we want.

Because we began receiving more requests for consultations regarding how to start an EMDR Intensives practice, we thought we would share our collective knowledge and experience on the topic in this comprehensive and affordable online course!

The truth is….

There is not one right way to offer EMDR Intensives.

That’s why we share two different models and perspectives to empower YOU to create the private practice that works best for you and your clients.

In this course, therapists will learn various ways to conduct EMDR intensives to decide which strategy works best for them. Methods could include extended sessions, 1-day EMDR intensives or story-clearing intensives working with clients up to 5-days in a row. This course will teach therapists how to transition their private practice to include full-time or part-time EMDR intensives.

This workshop will discuss areas of competency the therapist needs to be prepared for providing this type of EMDR therapy, will assess the current research that exists in providing EMDR intensives and will hone in on marketing and promotional tips and tricks to fill your calendar with client’s wanting EMDR intensives. After this workshop, therapists will have all the information and confidence to provide EMDR intensives to their clients.

Training Objectives

  1. To identify various ways to conduct EMDR Intensives and decide which strategy is best for you and your clients.
  2. To prepare an appropriate transition for your practice to integrate the EMDR Intensive model for clients.
  3. To list the areas of competency the therapist has already obtained in preparation for providing EMDR Intensives and also listing the areas the therapist must enhance competencies by taking advanced trainings in preparation for providing EMDR Intensives.
  4. To assess the research in providing EMDR Intensives to share with clients considering the service.

Testimonials from Attendees

“Thank you for offering this course it was Amazing!!!”

Anonymous

“Thank you so much! This resulted in me recommending a family member to do an intensive!”

Anonymous

“I am so very pleased to have found this course. It was one of the most useful and I will look at other trainings through Scaling Up. Competent, clear, effective presenters!”

Anonymous

“I’ve had other trainings/presentations on how to evolve into intensives- this was the best one that I’ve taken.”

Anonymous

“I loved this! It offered me the confidence to launch into intensives and to articulate the work to clients and colleagues.”

Anonymous

“The training was well presented and applicable to my practice. There was a lot of information to digest and support the implementation of intensives with clients.”

Anonymous

“Superbly organized and presented, with relatively short segments, appropriate repetition, exercises to encourage application of concepts, and example cases. Unusual to provide business, website, and marketing.”

Anonymous

“Overall, I found this training to be excellent and extremely practical in laying out considerations in planning to offer intensives. I appreciated the examples both presenters shared from each of their own practices and experiences – both the successes and the things they would perhaps have done differently in hindsight. I also found the workbook exercises helpful in bringing structure to my own thoughts about how to potentially do this.”
