Upcoming San Diego Regional EMDR Institute Training

Alicia Avila was trained to be an EMDR trainer by Francine Shapiro, PhD.  This San Diego Regional EMDRIA approved is for a small cohort of clinicians to foster a supportive collegial environment using the EMDR Institute training materials with the latest updates.  

This training includes more than the EMDRIA required 50 hours. (EMDRIA requires 20 hours of lecture, 20 hours of practice and 10 hours of consultation all completed within 12 months).  The training is content heavy including time on each day for each of you to have direct practice with each other using your own personal material.  These are not role plays.  You will get to practice some of strategies taught each day and experience them as a client. 

This training is eligible for 40 CEU when requested for licensed clinicians who complete the full training.  Requests must be made at time of enrollment.

You must complete all 6 full training dates, the 5-2-hour consultation meetings (10hours), 3 training videos, 3 evaluations, 3 Quizzes, plus the required reading.   

Training and consultation meetings are spread out to aid in your application of EMDR in your practice.  Please read documents below for more information on the requirements and expectations. Your online application provides an opportunity to give feedback on consultation dates and times. 

If attending the training online your full active attendance and participation in a private setting without interruptions is necessary.
