About Me & My Approach to EMDR Training
I love training!
But what I love most is what happens after the theory—when clinicians step into practicum and EMDR Training comes alive.
There’s nothing quite like watching someone use a new modality for the very first time. In those moments, EMDR shifts from something you’ve learned to something you embody. My greatest joy as a trainer is being right there with you during that transition—helping you bridge knowledge and practice, refining skills in real time, and supporting you as you begin to trust both the protocol and yourself.
My training style is experiential, collaborative, and deeply respectful of each clinician’s individuality.
Yes, EMDR Training has a structure—but within that structure is room for curiosity, creativity, and authenticity. I don’t believe in turning therapists into carbon copies of a protocol. Instead, I focus on helping you find your own voice as you integrate EMDR into your clinical work.
During practicum, I’m especially attentive to the subtle moments:
the questions that arise mid-session,
the uncertainty about pacing or language,
the instinct to “get it right.”
Those moments are where real learning happens. Together, we slow things down, fine-tune clinical decision-making, and build confidence so that EMDR begins to feel not just effective—but natural.
Whether you’re new to EMDR or expanding your skills, my goal is the same: to offer training that is supportive, grounded, and practical—so you leave not only knowing how to do EMDR, but feeling equipped to use it in a way that fits who you are as a clinician.
Because EMDR isn’t just something you practice.
It’s something you grow into.
Training Feedback about Kelly
Feedback from Training Participant:
"Great instructor, I would love to work with her for consultation because she was very gentle, but direct."
What is included with your EMDR Therapy Basic Training?
The good news is that EMDR Therapy is a well researched, Evidence Based Protocol for the healing of PTSD as well as other diagnoses. Both SAMSHA and the WHO highly recommend EMDR Therapy as a primary treatment of PTSD as well as Complex PTSD.
The great news is that I can describe why our training is going to give you the best preparation to be about to go back to your office and start using EMDR Therapy. And it will give you great questions so you can check other training programs against this one to make sure this is the best EMDR Therapy Basic Training for you!

How to know if this training will work for me with all the options out there?
Other trainings are 5 day “Intensives” - You get all the training & practice in 5 days and you're done.
The choice between a 5-day intensive EMDR therapy training or spreading it over a few weekends depends on several factors, including your learning style, schedule, and preferences.
The 5-day intensive might sound great at first, however, you will have very little time to digest all the learning you will do in 5 days. You will have no time between the sessions to reflect and integrate your learning—like our trainings provide. You will have no time to practice the therapy on clients and bring back questions or insights to the next session of the training.
Supervisors have given me the feedback that those trained in this manner are unsure where to start, they feel super overwhelmed by all the scripts & phases and lack confidence that they can do this therapy – even with a Consultant to check in with.
And, I don’t know about you, but sitting and trying to absorb new information for 8 hours a day for 5 days feels exhausting and overwhelming.
If you benefit from a paced-approach with time to absorb, practice and reflect, our training option is for you!
BEWARE: Some training courses are even less than 5 days – and are NOT approved by EMDRIA. It is vital that you choose a training program that has been vetted by EMDRIA. These trainings (that are fewer than 5 days) don’t offer any practice or support during training to be able to help you effectively and ethically apply EMDR Therapy to all your clients.
The good news about working with me as your trainer—our training group will be small and intimate. You’ll have plenty of time for questions and practice. You’ll have the assistance you need to try something new, make mistakes and get gentle, supportive correction to encourage your use of EMDR Therapy.
