The Center's founder, Deany Laliotis, has invited some of the field’s most skilled and talented EMDR therapists to join her as training facilitators, consultants and trainers as part of this unique EMDR training team. All faculty and consultants have trained with Deany extensively as Relational EMDR therapists. As a team, they set a new standard for training therapists in the art and science of EMDR therapy. Please note that while we adhere to the highest standards of training, The Center is not able to determine one's level of competence to practice EMDR therapy and disclaims any liability.
