A Clinical Skill That Goes Where You Go
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most evidence-based, in-demand therapy modalities in mental health today — recommended by the WHO, the VA, and the American Psychiatric Association for treating trauma and PTSD.
For military spouses navigating PCS moves, re-licensing in new states, and career gaps, EMDR training offers something rare: a highly portable, deeply respected clinical credential that opens doors wherever life takes you.
High Client Demand
Career Portability
Evidence-Based & Recognized
Career Advancement
EMDR training can qualify you for specialized roles, higher client fees, and expanded practice opportunities – including work with military families and veterans.
Your Benefits Can Cover This Training
The MyCAA (My Career Advancement Account) scholarship program provides up to $4,000 in funding for eligible military spouses to pursue education and career training. As an approved MyCAA provider, Scaling Up EMDR can accept this funding for our EMDR training programs.
You don’t need to navigate this alone. Fill out our ETP request form, and we’ll prepare your Education and Training Plan and send it to you within three to five business days — ready for you to submit directly to MyCAA.
