This EMDR training program, originally established in 1999, has an excellent track record for producing confident EMDR clinicians. Under the direction of Barbara Horne MASc, RP, RMFT & EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, the Niagara Stress & Trauma Clinic offers regularly-scheduled and private on-site courses in Eastern and Central Canada. NSTC offers the only French-language EMDR training program in North America, under the direction of Philippe Gauvreau PsyD & EMDRIA-Approved Consultant.

These small-group trainings (maximum 30) are well recognized in the Canadian EMDR community for their effectiveness in enabling clinicians to immediately incorporate EMDR into their work with clients. In fact, enthusiastic previous course participants are our biggest source of referrals to the program.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The program is divided into three parts:

• Part 2 offers techniques and protocols for working with complex PTSD and special populations, and
• Consultation Hours (10 hours) give you the support you need to successfully integrate EMDR into your practice.

During both parts 1 & 2, you will do personal EMDR work in groups of 2 or 3, closely supervised by EMDRIA-Approved Consultants (on a 10:1 ratio). There are 20 hours of these practicums included in the program.

Following each of our training weekends, you will have what you need to immediately begin using EMDR with your clients. Our training groups often go on to form peer-support networks or consultation groups for continued clinical support.
