Why Choose Basic EMDR Training: Part I

  • Flexible pacing – Train at your own speed, on your own schedule
  • Immediate application – Start using EMDR skills with your current caseload
  • Built-in support – Case consultation included for real-world guidance
  • Proven expertise – Developed from 30 years of EMDR training experience

This is your first step toward mastering EMDR therapy and transforming how you understand and treat your clients.

What You’ll Learn in Part I: The Fundamentals

Part I is a three-day deep dive into the foundations of EMDR therapy:

  • The Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model and how it informs treatment
  • An overview of the 8 phases and the three-pronged approach of past, present, and future
  • How to facilitate dual attention between past and present, keeping the client grounded
  • How to identify clients on your caseload who may benefit from EMDR
  • How to transition clients into an EMDR framework

We combine formal instruction with small group practice to give you a first-hand experience of EMDR memory reprocessing—from both the therapist and client point of view.

Why This Matters

Part I gives you the opportunity to:

  • Get grounded in the fundamentals of EMDR therapy
  • Prepare clients for their healing journey
  • Learn how to connect past events to present difficulties
  • Apply the standard protocol and reprocess early memories that are at the root of current difficulties
  • Plan for the future, helping clients envision and respond differently in similar situations

Who Is Eligible?

You are—if you are a mental health clinician, licensed for independent practice and want to use EMDR with your clients. It's important that you see clients while you are in training so you can apply what you learn and ask for feedback during consultation.

  • If you are not yet licensed, you must be on a licensing track under the guidance of a clinical supervisor.
  • If you are a graduate student, you must have completed your core coursework and currently work in a practice setting.
  • If you work at a non-profit or government agency and carry a full caseload, ask about our non-profit agency discount.

Deany Laliotis

I’m Deany Laliotis, the Founder & Director of The Center. I am passionate about the power of EMDR therapy to transform lives. Since 1993, I had the privilege of working very closely with Dr. Francine Shapiro, the originator of EMDR, and was mentored by her until her death in 2019.  I was the Director of Training for EMDR Institute Inc., the program developed by Dr. Shapiro that trained clinicians all over the world in EMDR therapy. We trained thousands of EMDR therapists over the years in this comprehensive approach to healing trauma.  My vision has always been to offer a continuum of trainings from Basic to Masterclasses, which is what The Center currently offers. We welcome you to join us as part of our community of lifelong learners!
