Basic Training Registration Information and Training Fees

*IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION IN FULL
BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT!*

To be accepted for this training program you must be a mental health clinician who is licensed for independent practice with experience in treating traumatized clients.  If you have questions about this, please follow this link to review the EMDR International Association eligibility criteria before contacting us with questions and/or applying for our training program.  Note that certain licensed professional counselors with degrees in the expressive arts and in addictions treatment will need to be reviewed by EMDRIA before acceptance into our training.  Please contact EMDRIA directly for review of eligibility before applying to our program.  Submit the approval documentation (which can be in the form of an email from EMDRIA to you) with your application to us. 

You will need to attend all training days and the scheduled phone consultation in order to earn a certificate of completion for this training.  It is expected that you will study thoroughly the Shapiro text and other readings.  Because this training includes an experiential component, you must be prepared to work on personal issues in the training practice sessions.  Participants who are not willing or able to do experiential work on distressing life experiences should not apply for this training program.  If due to trauma, illness, or other stressors, you are not emotionally stable, you should not take the training at this time.  If you have any uncertainties about any of the above, please contact the trainers prior to registering for this training.  As disturbing material can emerge during practice sessions, you should be prepared to seek private treatment If the need arises.       

This is not a training for a novice therapist or a therapist with little or no experience in trauma treatment.  Please make sure that your CV or resume reflects your clinical experience.  Please feel free to enclose a letter if you wish to explain in greater detail your clinical experience and current practice context.  We review all applications and do our best to ensure that all participants have adequate clinical experience and have a practice context where the use of EMDR would be appropriate and possible.  An inexperienced therapist or therapist with little opportunity to use EMDR will not derive much benefit from this training and, in this small group training format, might negatively impact the learning experience of others.  Please consider this when you make application for this training.  You should have at least two cases available with whom you can begin to use EMDR during the course of this training.

Non-licensed clinicians or clinicians not yet licensed for independent practice must be on a licensing track.  We will require a letter to us from the fully-licensed clinician who is providing the licensure supervision.  We will also need a letter from your.  The supervisor's letter must contain the following information: (1) verification of  the applicant's intention to seek licensure, (2) an anticipated date for licensure to be accomplished, (3) a statement of support for the applicant's participation in our EMDR training, and (4) verification that the applicant maintains an active psychotherapy practice under her/his supervision which includes trauma clients.  Please make sure that all of these items are addressed in the supervisor's letter.  Your letter should explain your current practice context, the kinds of clinical problems and clients you are currently working with, the number of clients you are seeing in on-going psychotherapy and the therapy methods or approaches you currently use.  We will not be able to review your application without both of these letters.

The training facility is in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.  You must Inform EMDRGW at the time of registration if you are disabled or have special needs so that we can discuss parking and other needs as appropriate.   

TRAINING FEES FOR BASIC TRAINING
 

Early Registration:  While there is no discount for early registration, we highly recommend applications be submitted early as past trainings typically fill weeks before the training begins.  We keep a waiting list in case there are late withdrawals. 

Tuition Refund and Credit:  Tuition is refundable up to 30 days in advance, less a $150 administrative fee.  Note:  There will be no refunds for withdrawals made within 30days of the first training date and/or after the beginning of the training.  Due to the small size of the training, we are not able to make accommodations for changes in personal or family situations including medical events.  The sooner we are notified of a withdrawal prior to the training, the more likely we will be able to fill the vacancy.  If we are able to do so, we will refund the tuition less a $350 administrative fee.  We do not fill vacancies which take place after the beginning of the training.
