The lingo and terms of EMDR credentialing can be confusing. We are here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you are looking to get trained in EMDR for the first time, becoming certified or finding advanced tools to use-you are in the right place.
Basic Training is the foundation of EMDR therapy. Here you will explore the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) Model, the mechanics of EMDR and how to implement the eight phases. As you learn during lecture, you will breakout into small groups and practice in real time. In addition to learning how to practice EMDR, you will attend consultations to ask questions and receive feedback on your experience. After completing EMDR Basic Training you are considered an “EMDR therapist.”
After completing Basic Training, if you find EMDR therapy is the space for you, the next step is to become EMDR certified. EMDRIA has specific requirements to becoming a certified EMDR therapist. As you work with an Approved Consultant, you go through each of the eight phases in depth and demonstrate competency in your practice. To submit the application, you must complete at least 50 EMDR sessions with a minimum of 25 different clients. After you complete the 20-hours of consultations and utilize EMDR with a variety of client circumstances, you will gain clarity and confidence in EMDR. Once you submit the application and get approved through EMDRIA, you are considered a “Certified EMDR Therapist.”
If you are thriving as a EMDR therapist, you may want to share the passion and support therapists early in their journey. Maybe you want to participate at EMDR trainings or provide consulting to therapists individually? In this stage you will submit a Declaration Form with EMDRIA stating which Approved Consultant you will work under as a Consultant In Training (CIT).Work with Mindemics to become an EMDRIA Approved Consultant to feel prepared to support EMDR therapists in their practice.
The learning never stops as a therapist. The more clients we see, the more complexities start showing up. We value on-going learning and providing excellent care at Mindemics. Complete advanced EMDR trainings to refresh your knowledge, apply EMDR to specific population and explore advanced EMDR protocols. We are currently working on creating these trainings for you.
