Foundational
EMDR Training
Learn EMDR with attention to case formulation, preparation, and the clinical decisions involved in treatment. Develop your understanding of the method and the responsibilities that come with using it.
For clinicians
In-person or live virtual training, consultation, and integrative clinical mentorship.
Study the method. Keep the person in view.

New mentorship In development

We will look at the whole clinical situation: the person’s history and present circumstances, what happens in the therapeutic relationship, and the reasoning behind your treatment choices.
EMDR will be part of that conversation, alongside Gestalt-informed, somatic, and relational perspectives. Across four months, we will return to your learning goals through case formulation, rehearsal, and feedback.
History, present context, strengths, safety, and the first formulation.
Presence, contact, power, and the therapist’s own responses.
The reasoning behind timing, further assessment, and referral.
Purpose, consent, and attending to the client’s response.
Clinical decisions in the context of the broader formulation.
Somatic, relational, and parts-oriented lenses, with attention to limits.
Ruptures, assumptions, and reconsidering the treatment plan.
A revised formulation and a realistic plan for continued learning.
Proposed professional-development program. Not presented as basic training, formal supervision, or certification consultation. Final eligibility and any credit status require confirmation.
In-person or live virtual training
Understand the method and examine the clinical reasoning behind it. Choose the training appropriate to your stage of EMDR practice.
Learn EMDR with attention to case formulation, preparation, and the clinical decisions involved in treatment. Develop your understanding of the method and the responsibilities that come with using it.
For EMDR-trained clinicians who want to examine their clinical reasoning more closely. Consider the purpose of an intervention, its evidence and limits, and the rationale for any adaptation.
Current dates, tuition, prerequisites, and course-specific approvals will appear here when confirmed. “Foundational” is a descriptive working title, not an accreditation claim.
Clinical consultation
Examine your formulation, identify what you may be overlooking, and consider your options within your training and scope of practice.
Focused time for your clinical questions and learning needs. Examine a difficult formulation, think through a treatment decision, or arrange ongoing consultation.
For clinicians newer to EMDR. You may have years of therapy experience and still need room to ask foundational questions about this method.
For EMDR-trained clinicians working with complex presentations and difficult treatment decisions. Bring your reasoning, including what hasn’t worked and what you’re unsure about.
Individual and group consultation remain separate from mentorship. Schedules, fees, and any credential-related consultation arrangements are not yet confirmed.

Linda A. Curran
BCPC, LPC, CAADC, CCDPD
I’m a trauma therapist, consultant, author, and trainer. My work brings Gestalt and EMDR into conversation with somatic and relational approaches.
I teach clinicians to examine what they are doing and why. That includes understanding a method, recognizing its limits, and remaining responsive to the person in front of them.
My current work centers on training, consultation, writing, and resources clinicians can use in practice.

Consultation provides space for clinical questions and cases. Mentorship follows a clinician’s development over time, with agreed learning goals, repeated feedback, and a closing development plan. It does not replace the individual, beginner, or advanced consultation options.
Foundational training is the starting point for learning the method. Advanced EMDR Deconstructed training is intended for clinicians already trained in EMDR. Each actual course needs its own confirmed prerequisites and eligibility information.
No credit is being promised in this prototype. Basic training, continuing education, certification, and consultation hours are distinct. Course-specific approvals and any eligible consultation arrangements must be confirmed before enrollment.
