Training Pathway Planner

Find your next training step.

EMDR training, EMDRIA certification, and the consultant path are related. Align’s IFS-Informed EMDR programs can support the journey, but the credentials belong to EMDRIA.

Answer eight quick questions and get a clear next step in about a minute.

First, the language

Three milestones. Three different meanings.

EMDR trained clinician
You completed an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training. This prepares you to use EMDR; it does not make you EMDRIA certified.
EMDRIA Certified Therapist™
A separate credential conferred by EMDRIA after it reviews your application, experience, consultation, education, recommendations, and license.
EMDRIA Approved Consultant™ path
An advanced EMDRIA pathway that begins only after you hold the current EMDRIA Certified Therapist credential and declare CIT status with EMDRIA.
