What's included

Everything required for EMDRIA Certification in one fee.

Component 1
40hours

Didactic + Practicum

Live online instruction from EMDRIA-approved trainers, plus supervised practicum where you actively participate in EMDR Therapy as both clinician and client, so you'll know precisely what your clients will experience.

Component 2
10hours

Group Consultation

The 10 hours of consultation EMDRIA requires for full certification, included in tuition. Pre-scheduled, paired with your cohort, same EMDRIA-approved consultant for all 10 hours.

Component 3
40CE

APA CE Credit

Approved for 40 APA continuing education credits, counts toward your renewal cycle as well as toward EMDRIA certification. Documentation handled and issued at completion.

Why this program

What sets the Triad EMDR Basic Training apart.

Cohort consistency

Same EMDRIA-approved consultant throughout all 10 consultation hours. You're not handed off mid-process or matched with a new consultant after Part II ends, the relationship and the case continuity stay intact.

Experiential by design

You actively participate in EMDR Therapy as a client during the practicum, so you'll know precisely what your clients will experience when you start your own EMDR work post-certification.

Bundled pricing

Most EMDR programs sell didactic and consultation separately, leaving clinicians to source, and pay for, a consultant after Part II. Triad bundles the 10 required hours into the registration fee.

Upcoming Cohorts

Cohorts run roughly quarterly. All sessions delivered live via Zoom in Central Time. Email emdr@triadhq.com if you need a date that isn't listed.

Triad EMDR vs other programs

Why bundled wins.

The 10 hours of consultation aren't optional, they're an EMDRIA-required step on the path to certification. Most programs treat that as your problem to solve.

Evidence Base

EMDR is a first-line, evidence-based treatment for PTSD.

The American Psychological Association's Clinical Practice Guideline identifies trauma-focused therapies, including EMDR, as having the strongest evidence base for adult PTSD, recommended as first-line treatments. Subsequent meta-analyses continue to validate EMDR's efficacy across trauma populations.

For a current overview of the literature, EMDRIA maintains a living bibliography of recent EMDR research at emdria.org/about-emdr-therapy/recent-research-about-emdr.

Foundational evidence: Chen et al. (2014), Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, meta-analysis of EMDR efficacy in adult PTSD treatment.
