EMDR therapy is a comprehensive psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of pathologies and self-esteem issues related to disturbing events and present life conditions. This interactional, standardized approach has been empirically tested in over 20 randomized controlled studies with trauma patients, and hundreds of published case reports evaluating a considerable range of presenting complaints, including depression, anxiety, phobias, excessive grief, somatic conditions and addictions. EMDR therapy is guided by the Adaptive Information Processing model which addresses the unprocessed memories that appear to set the basis for a wide range of dysfunction. A number of neurophysiological studies have documented the rapid post treatment EMDR therapy effects.

Limited Scholarships are available for students and those working in not-for-profit agencies.  In addition, the Sue Evans scholarship is available for single mothers seeking EMDR training.  Please contact Parker Sternbergh for more information on scholarships, criteria and process.  She may be reached by email at psternbe@tulane.edu. 

*The training fee does not include case consultation, but non-profit employees and students can often get free or low cost consultation from independent consultants. 5 hours of consultation will be required after Part Two to receive the EMDR Basic Training Certificate of Completion (A list of EMDRIA Approved Consultants (or Consultants-in-training) consultants will be provided to participants.)
