EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training
Connection-centered training, by therapists, for therapists.
This is the training that takes you from “EMDR-curious” to confidently using EMDR with real clients — including the complex ones. Over 40 hours of live content and practicum plus 10 hours of consultation, you’ll learn the full 8-phase protocol and the things most basic trainings skip: how to work with dissociation and attachment wounds and how to prepare your client's nervous system for trauma work.
You’ll leave able to:
• Run all 8 phases of EMDR with confidence, start to finish
• Adapt EMDR for complex trauma, dissociation, and attachment
• Reduce your own burnout with a way of working that finally feels effective
• Keep growing — with consultant support that continues after the last session
Virtual or in-person. EMDRIA-Approved and NBCC CE-eligible.
Frequently Asked
Questions
1 / Is it worth the cost?
40 hours of EMDR training + 10 hours of consultation. One price: $1,697. While many programs charge separately for consultation—adding $250–$500+ to the total cost—EMDR Restorative Consulting includes it all. Compared to other trauma-focused trainings that can cost $4,000–$5,000+, you'll receive comprehensive EMDRIA-approved training, consultation, and advanced content on dissociation, attachment, and Polyvagal Theory—all in one affordable package. It also counts for 40 NBCC CE hours.
2 / Will I actually be able to use EMDR after this?
Absolutely. We don't just teach the EMDR protocol—we teach you how to use it. You'll learn to apply all 8 phases with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use, sexual assault, complex trauma, and other presentations, so you leave prepared for the clients you actually see in practice.
3 / Virtual or in person — what’s the difference?
The content, quality, and EMDRIA-approved curriculum are exactly the same in both formats. The difference is simply how you prefer to learn. If you thrive on face-to-face interaction, our in-person training offers the energy of learning together in a physical space. If flexibility and convenience are more important, our live virtual training lets you participate from anywhere without sacrificing connection. Both formats are fully interactive, relational, and designed to provide the same high-quality learning experience.
4 / Am I eligible?
-
Participants are responsible for checking with their state licensure board to ensure that NBCC CE credits are accepted.
-
If you are: Fully licensed, provisionally licensed, in your last internship for grad school (for psychology, social work or related degree), or are anywhere in between these stages, you’re eligible to attend this training!
5 / What makes this different from other EMDR trainings?
-
We go beyond the minimum EMDRIA requirements. Our curriculum was created by experienced clinicians for clinicians, making it practical, engaging, and easy to apply in real therapy sessions. Our trainers bring advanced expertise in areas such as attachment, dissociation, Polyvagal Theory, and somatic approaches, helping you confidently work with clients beyond single-incident trauma.
-
You'll learn how to use EMDR with a wide range of diagnoses and complex presentations, not just the standard protocol. We also place a strong emphasis on Phase 2: Preparation—equipping you with practical stabilization, resourcing, and regulation skills so clients are ready for trauma processing. It's a more thorough, relational approach that prepares you for the clients you'll actually see in practice.

Embodiment & EMDR — Integrating Deeper Somatics Across the Eight Phases ($265)
.png)
Help your clients heal in the body, not just the mind.
Trauma lives in the nervous system — and the most powerful EMDR happens when the body is in the room. In this advanced, experiential course, somatic expert Leslie Chesshir (LCSW, SEP, LMT) shows you how to weave deeper body-based work into all eight phases of EMDR, with special focus on Phase 2 resourcing and preparation. Grounded in Panskepp’s Affective Neuroscience and the skills of leading somatic therapists, you’ll be guided through each technique yourself, then watch it applied in a full demo.
Format: On-demand · 8 hours · 8 EMDRIA + 8 NBCC CE credits · $265

EMDR Basics Refresher — On-Demand Recordings ($250)
Trained in EMDR — but not using it as confidently as you’d like?
If your EMDR has gotten rusty, or you finished Basic Training still feeling unsure, this is your reset. Eight on-demand, one-hour sessions walk you back through all 8 phases to EMDRIA standard — plus the dissociation, attachment, and Polyvagal context that makes the protocol click. Go at your own pace, on your own schedule.
Includes: Our EMDR Forms & Scripts to guide you through every phase of a real client session — yours to keep.
Format: 8 on-demand hours · EMDRIA credit & NBCC CE-eligible (8) · $250 · Complete all 8 hours for credit
For: Mental health providers who have completed an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training.
Ethics & EMDR Training ($40 · 1 CE)
The ethics CE you actually need — built for EMDR therapists.
Knock out a required ethics credit with one focused hour that’s genuinely relevant to your work. We walk through how the APA and Social Work Board codes of ethics apply to EMDR specifically, why ongoing consultation matters, and how to facilitate all 8 phases ethically — phase by phase. On-demand, so you can earn it tonight.
Format: On-demand · 1 hour · 1 NBCC CE + 1 EMDRIA credit · $40
Dissociation & EMDR Training ($75 · 2 CE)
When your client dissociates, would you know what to do next?
Dissociation is where many therapists feel least sure — and where EMDR most needs a steady hand. This two-part, on-demand training traces where dissociation comes from (including early attachment trauma) and shows you how to recognize and work with it safely through the EMDR Adaptive Information Processing lens. You’ll leave more confident treating the complex, dysregulated clients who need you most.
Format: On-demand · 2 hours · 2 NBCC CE + 2 EMDRIA credits · $75
For: Licensed providers who’ve completed an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Basic Training.
Documenting EMDR Sessions With Confidence ($40 · 1 CE)
Write EMDR notes that hold up — to supervisors, auditors, and insurers.
EMDR sessions don’t document like talk therapy, and unclear notes are a real liability. In one focused hour, you’ll learn to write clear, defensible notes across all 8 phases — capturing treatment-plan objectives, your client’s subjective experience, and your own clinical interventions — in a way that meets insurance and billing standards. Less second-guessing, fewer headaches at audit time.
Format: On-demand · 1 hour · 1 EMDRIA credit + 1 NBCC CE · $40
