EMDR Basic Training

Become EMDR Trained. Transform Lives. Deepen Your Practice.

You’re already doing meaningful trauma-informed work.

Now imagine offering your clients an evidence-based therapy...delivered with structure, relational attunement, and transformational impact.

This hybrid EMDR Basic Training meets EMDRIA’s requirements for instruction, practicum, and consultation. With one in-person weekend in Austin and a second weekend online, you’ll receive compassionate, high-caliber teaching and consulting from two respected professionals, Jackie and Marshall.

Your Training Environment

The in-person portion of this EMDRIA-approved Basic Training will be held in Marshall’s intentionally designed workshop space in Austin, Texas. The environment invites presence, regulation, and choice. Participants are encouraged to engage in ways that support their nervous systems, whether that means standing, stretching, moving, or taking sensory breaks as needed. Healthy snacks and drinks will be provided. With neurodivergent learners in mind, the space honors many ways of learning and being.

Spots are limited to 20 participants. Registration is first come, first served.

Meet Jackie and Marshall

Jackie Flynn, EdS, LMHC‑S, RPT‑S™ | EMDRIA-Approved Trainer for this Training

As an EMDRIA Approved Trainer and Consultant, I’ve had the honor of training hundreds of therapists across the world in both Basic and Advanced EMDR. My work integrates Play Therapy, Sandtray, and nature based trauma healing, all grounded in a deep respect for the nervous system and the therapeutic relationship.

I teach with clarity, compassion, and a commitment to making EMDR feel both accessible and transformative, never mechanical or rigid. This training reflects that approach every step of the way.

Marshall Lyles, LPC‑S, LMFT‑S, RPT‑S™ | EMDRIA-Approved Consultant Support for this Training

Marshall is an EMDRIA Approved Consultant with decades of experience in attachment focused therapy, Sandtray, and expressive modalities. His presence during our first weekend is more than supportive, it’s deeply grounding.

Marshall brings a rare combination of clinical wisdom, creative insight, and a powerfully, gentle spaciousness that helps participants feel both safe and inspired. His guidance will enrich your learning in ways that stay with you long after the training ends.
