Find Out More About The Center

About This Webinar

"Do you ever find yourself wondering whether EMDR training is the right fit for your practice, and whether now is the right time?"

Maybe colleagues have completed Basic Training and speak about it in ways that make you genuinely curious. Maybe clients have started asking about EMDR. Maybe you have been considering it for months and simply want to understand what the commitment actually looks like before you register.

This is a free, live conversation with Deany Laliotis, Founder of The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy. Deany has been training clinicians in EMDR since 1993 and has guided thousands of therapists through this work. She will share what makes The Center's approach distinctive, what the full arc of EMDR training and development looks like for clinicians who choose to go deeper, and how to know if this is your moment to begin.

There is no agenda here other than giving you an honest picture. There will be time for your questions.

What We Will Cover

• What EMDR therapy is, and how the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model informs the way we understand and treat trauma
• How EMDR functions as an integrative psychotherapy, more than a protocol, and why that distinction matters for complex clinical work
• What makes The Center's Basic Training different: built-in case consultation, a seasoned faculty, and a structure designed for real clinical integration
• What the full learning journey at The Center looks like, from Basic Training through Advanced and Master-level programs
• How to assess whether now is the right time for you to begin, and what to do if you are not quite ready
• Your questions, answered directly

Who This Webinar Is For

Licensed mental health clinicians (LPCs, LCSWs, LICSWs, LMHCs, psychologists) who are curious about EMDR and considering Basic Training. Graduate students on a licensing track with an active caseload are also welcome.
