In our modern COVID-19 pandemic world, trauma-informed care is at the heart of effective clinical care to today’s generations. That’s why we are so pleased to offer another EMDR Basic Training. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment that has been shown to have efficacy with many different types of trauma issues and distressing life experiences including PSTD, Anxiety, Depression, and Panic Disorders.
The best news is that this training is VIRTUAL!
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, life has been difficult for everyone, and as more and more of your clients are presenting with trauma, you want to do everything you can to provide effective trauma treatment. This training is an EMDRIA-approved EMDR training to offer you the knowledge and skills to effectively administer EMDR therapy in your clinical care.
EMDR is recognized by the World Health Organization, U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, America Psychiatric Association, SAMHSA, International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and more as an effective intervention and treatment for trauma.
Special Note: This training is open to licensed mental health professionals, pre-licensed mental health professionals under supervision, and graduate counseling students in practicum or internship and under supervision only.

This virtual training is taught in two parts over two separate mandatory weekends. Participants are required to be present for each session and consultation. In between the two weekends, you will receive consultation and support from the instructors, 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 separate 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.

How long does it take for my application to be reviewed?
Applications are reviewed weekly and you will receive an email within 4-5 business days with an update on the status of your application.
What happens once I am approved?
Once you are approved, you will receive an email with details on how to pay for the training. You are not successfully registered until your payment is processed for the training.
Why was my application denied?
The most common reason is based on the information provided in your application. Most applications are denied because the applicant does not meet the minimum qualifications set forth by EMDRIA. If you believe your application was wrongfully denied, please email kyle@aacc.net after reviewing the EMDRIA requirements here: https://www.emdria.org/emdr-training/emdr-training-old/eligibility-requirements-for-emdr-training/.
What is included in the cost?
Your registration covers all 6 days of training, which is divided into two weekends. This also includes the 10 hours of required consultation which will be completed before receiving your Certificate of Completion for EMDR Basic Training, and which will be provided by EMDRIA Approved Trainers.
Do I need any additional resources?
Yes, attendees are required to purchase the following book before the start of the training. Shapiro, F. (2022). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Basic Principles, Protocols and Procedures (3rd ed.). New York: The Guilford Press. It is not expected that you have read the book prior to the training; however, please become very familiar with it.
Do I have to attend each session both weekends?
Yes, both weekends are mandatory to complete the EMDR Basic Training. You must be present on each day of the training. Because a great deal of the training is in practicum, not attending each live section will impact others and will not allow you to get all of the knowledge that is required to be considered trained. If you miss any portion of the training, you will not receive a certificate of completion or CE’s.
Will I become an EMDRIA Certified Therapist?
No. Once you have completed an EMDR Training, you are considered an EMDR trained clinician. EMDR Certification requires additional levels of continuing education and consultation in EMDR and is a separate process. For more on EMDRIA Certification, go to: https://www.emdria.org/emdr-training/certification-faqs/
Is EMDRIA Certification required to practice EMDR Therapy?
EMDRIA Certification is a voluntary process. It is a pathway through which individual therapists may wish to pursue further training. Certification is not required in order for a clinician to practice EMDR therapy. If you have completed EMDR basic training, then you can use EMDR therapy under your license.

It is our intention to equip clinical, pastoral, and lay care-givers with biblical truth and psychosocial insights that minister to hurting persons and help them move to personal wholeness, interpersonal competence, mental stability, and spiritual maturity.
