Healing Tree’s EMDR Therapy Training 2023 Interest List

Thanks to the generosity of Kosair for Kids, we are able to offer a limited number of full scholarship slots for our next EMDR Therapy Training being held in Louisville, KY (Phase I: July 10-12 and Phase II: October 16-18).

Please fill out this form no later than Friday, April 21 5pm EST to be placed on our interest list. You will be notified by Friday, May 5 if you have been selected and you will need to complete another form within a week to be registered. If you have filled out an interest list form for us in the past, please reapply via the form linked above in order to confirm your availability for the 2023 dates. Your application will be prioritized. 

There are also a limited number of self-pay slots available. The cost is $1,900 for the whole 52 hour training (including Parts I and II as well as consultation; not including travel or lodging.) In order to receive in-person, EMDRIA-approved training with trainers, facilitators and consultants of this caliber, an agency would typically have to book a training for a group of at least 12, or therapists would also have to pay for travel and lodging. So for those in Kentuckiana, the self-pay option may still be beneficial to you or your employer. If you or your employer are interested in self-pay, please fill out the form linked above and be sure to check “Yes” or “Yes, but I would like to be considered for a scholarship slot as well” when asked in the last question.

The curriculum has been designed by Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, RMT and trainings are led by Amber Stiles-Bodnar, MSEd, LPCC-S, LCDC III, an affiliate of the Institute for Creative Mindfulness. Our trainers have the only EMDRIA-approved training program that teaches EMDR therapy through the lens of mindfulness. They also uniquely allow trainees to choose consultants that align with the population group they treat (e.g. children, adults, addiction, etc.) This program specifically equips therapists to work with real world clinical presentations from day one, including how to handle complex and developmental trauma, addressing dissociation, and implementing EMDR into their current setting.

Please visit healingtreenonprofit.org/emdr for detailed information about this training, including certification, curriculum, cost, continuing education and eligibility. You can also see testimonials from past trainings.
