EMDR Training: I have completed 50 hours of EMDR training EMDR Training through lectures, practicum, and consultation and provided an EMDR Training certificate.
EMDR Certification is the next level of EMDR training. The International Association EMDRIA is the certifying organization for EMDR. As a certified EMDR Therapist, it means I am licensed and have completed the 50 hours of an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Training Program. It also means that I have at least two years of experience in my field of license and have conducted at least 50 EMDR sessions with at least 25 clients. In addition, I have completed 20 additional hours of practicum with an Approved EMDR Consultant and have demonstrated competency in skills and concepts that the Consultant assigns. I have demonstrated competency through videos of myself along with a verbatim transcript of sessions to be evaluated by the consultant. The Consultant then determines if you have met the competency requirements and will recommend a certification. Certification is an ongoing process and you must complete 40 hours of ongoing education to keep certification current.
