EMDRIA-Approved Basic Training

EMDR Basic Training

In order to provide personalized support in integrating EMDR therapy into clinical practice, we strictly limit Basic Training class and Consultation group size to a 6-to1 ratio, significantly smaller than the 10-to-1 EMDRIA standard.

You'll learn Shapiro's original model with special focus on Complex PTSD and Attachment. Our Facilitators have advanced training and expertise in treating Complex Developmental Trauma and Dissociation with EMDR therapy.

We teach using extensive visual illustrations and video examples with real-life complexity - making a theory and method that can often feel convoluted and confusing to become accessible and clear.

Our team is comprised of specialists in expertise in treating specific populations with EMDR therapy, allowing you the opportunity to choose a consultant experienced in a treatment area of interest to you.

Come in your comfy clothes! Our virtual trainings allow you to learn and practice online from your own home or office. For in person trainings, we have chosen a warm, restorative setting that is ideal for learning and practicing EMDR therapy skills for the first time – or as a refresher course.

Student Testimonials

Susie, your style of teaching really resonates with my format of learning. I really appreciated that you took the time to help me understand the material in ways that made sense to me, because "Complex Trauma" by it's nature can be very complex to understand.

I like the visuals of the trees that you utilized to help us understand how the Memory Network works and the way it stores memories and the importance of understanding how to create a treatment plan for Complex Trauma.

I also enjoyed you sharing with us some of the raw videos where you go step by step describing what was going on in the session and why you chose certain interventions to help client move along in the desired phase of treatment.

~ LMFT in Tustin, CA

The presentation was wonderful, and wish I had been trained this way originally.

Conceptualizing the AIP and Maladaptive storage through the tree image and its representation of various aspects of identifying stored trauma is so beneficial. The visual facilitates a greater understanding of key concepts that otherwise can be difficult to explain.

Susie Morgan is an amazing trainer with a profound EMDR acumen. Thank you.

~ LMFT in San Diego, CA
EMDRIA Certified Therapist & Consultant

I have not gone to all the conferences or taken part in all the advanced supervision that Ms. Morgan had attended. But I get the benefit as she has distilled many of the main points of years of conferences and then has spoon fed the “pearls of wisdom” that we usually come away with.

She has also added some of her own techniques that add depth to the more traditional “resourcing” and target identification I was taught. So, without reservation I highly recommend this course.

~ Psychiatrist in Scottsdale, AZ
EMDRIA Certified Therapist

Thank you for all of this thoughtful, incredibly valuable sharing of knowledge! I feel like you addressed a missing piece for me, how to map and shift the maladaptive negative and positive strategies we see in complex developmental trauma.

I also really appreciated your in depth explanation of the tree analogy. I have been using this but this training really solidified the concept for me, especially your focus on the importance of identifying and connecting to the "white tree" and how essential it is to resource/strengthen this throughout EMDR therapy.

~ Psychologist in San Diego, CA

The presenter has created a robust model for effective EMDR case conceptualization for working with complex trauma.

Synthesizing from experts within the field, this training allows for precision targeting, allowing providers to see the forest and the trees, and to confidently engage in a systematic approach to treatment planning.

This new learning will aid in my treatment planning and effectively evaluating and treating complex trauma.
