Description
The AACC is pleased to offer a Virtual EMDR Basic Training in Spring 2025.
Limited Seating – Get in now!
We see trauma everywhere in our therapeutic practices and we must meet the rising need to trauma informed care. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidenced based treatment that has been shown to have efficacy with many different types of traumas and we are bringing this training to your computer!
As more and more of your clients are presenting with trauma, you want to do everything you can to provide effective trauma treatment. EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative therapy that helps people heal from traumatic events and distressing life experiences. Let us help you to develop your skills in EMDR therapy. We hope you will take our Basic EMDR Training.
Where: Online Virtual Training (Zoom)
When:
Part 1/Weekend 1: March 20-22, 2025 (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET each day)
Part 2/Weekend 2: May 15-17, 2025 (9:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET each day)

(participation in each day over both weekends and consultations is required to complete the training)
Details:
This course is taught in two weekends. In between the two weekends, you will receive consultation and support from us, as you apply EMDR to your clients. Given that face-to-face sessions with clients may be restricted, the use of telehealth to conduct EMDR Therapy will also be introduced. Because you will have had practical field experience, when we join together for weekend 2, you will be more comfortable and confident with EMDR interventions.
Because this course is offered on a virtual platform, all class sessions and consultation sessions will be conducted via Zoom. You can anticipate the same level of care as if we were in-person with you; we will engage with you and provide the support you need.
EMDR Basic Training includes two 20-hour weekends, and an additional 10 hours of consultation. The price for consultation is included in your cost. You must attendee both weekends and the personal consultations to complete the training.
