EMDR THERAPY TRAINING
ELIGIBILITY:
In order to take an EMDRIA-approved training program, you must meet one of the following requirements for eligibility:
A masters or doctoral degree in a clinical mental health-related field (e.g., counseling, marriage & family therapy, social work, psychology, etc.) is required. Although it is not required, it is strongly preferred that you are in active clinical practice and working with clients.
Master’s level students may be permitted to take the course if StartAgain Associates receives a letter of recommendation from a faculty member or clinical site supervisor ahead of time. Requests and letters of recommendation can be sent to: support@startagainassociates.com. Your registration is not considered complete / confirmed until approval is granted.
Medical Professionals (e.g., master’s level nurses and physicians) are also eligible to take the course if they possess a clinical master’s or doctorate degree and if their primary specialty is within mental health.
Pastoral / Christian counselors, substance use counselors, and expressive arts therapists may also be eligible if they can show sufficient clinical content on their master’s level transcripts and have a valid license in their state or have pre-licensure status in accordance with the EMDR International Association Requirements. Prior approval is required before registration. In cases of these circumstances, all cases must be made in writing with supporting documentation directly to The Institute for Creative Mindfulness. You can send your request to support@startagainassociates.com. Your registration is not considered complete / confirmed until approval is granted.
