This training is sponsored by the Space Coast Mental Health Counselor’s Association. We are offering this training in recognition that trauma therapists are, more than ever, essential to the health of the community. At the same time, we must take common-sense precautions. For social distancing and safety, we have secured a large meeting space and are capping the training at 12 participants. Each participant will have their own 6-foot table and plenty of space. Social distancing & the use of masks/face coverings will be expected. Participants will be asked to bring their own snacks/beverages to minimize contact.

EMDR Therapy is a powerful, evidence-based treatment for children, teens, and adults. More than 30 positive controlled research studies support the benefits of EMDR Therapy for treatment of depression, trauma, and more. EMDR Therapy can dramatically reduce or eliminate disturbing symptoms, distressing emotions, and unwanted behaviors while fostering positive new perspectives and increased resilience.

As EMDR Institute Regional Trainers, we deliver Dr. Francine Shapiro and the EMDR Institute’s fully accredited, research-validated training manual and materials in a personalized environment at an affordable price. This course meets EMDRIA requirements and includes all lecture, practicum, and consultation needed to achieve a full Basic Course Completion.

Throughout our Basic Training, we emphasize appropriate client selection, preparation, and stabilization for diverse levels of client complexity and clinical expertise.
