Choosing the right training is important and can be a difficult decision. What makes us different from the others is that we are seasoned, having been teaching EMDR Therapy to clinicians from across the country and globe for well over a decade.

WHAT SETS EMDR CENTER OF THE ROCKIES APART
While many workshops provide the standard EMDRIA curriculum, our program offers a “builder’s perspective.” Our founder, Tamra Hughes, has spent over 15 years on the training and development side of EMDR Therapy and has refined the EMDR Center of the Rockies curriculum to the highest levels in the industry."

Rich And Inspiring Journey
"It has truly been a rich and inspiring journey that added so much to me - both personally and professionally. Grateful for the learning, the growth, and the opportunity to bring this powerful approach into my work. I'm deeply grateful to the wonderful trainers whose dedication and support made it possible to have this training available in my country""
I've Grown As A Therapist
"I completed my EMDR Basic Training with the EMDR Center of the Rockies in late 2023. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to grow their clinical skills and to help take their clients to the next level. Their professionalism and expertise was invaluable to my process, and I feel like I've grown as both a clinician and a person. "
Instrumental To My Practice
"The EMDR Basic Training through EMDR of the Rockies has been instrumental in enhancing my practice, enabling me to offer evidence-based care to individuals seeking treatment for trauma, addiction, OCD, and relationship/attachment issues. This comprehensive training has not only empowered me to effectively address my clients' needs but has also facilitated better marketing opportunities within the community, leading to a growing client base of individuals currently engaged in or progressing towards EMDR therapy."
Safe, Challenging, And Culturally Attuned
"Tamra and her team at EMDR of the Rockies blend rigor with real warmth. Each session turned complex EMDR material into clear, usable steps I applied the same day with clients. The supervision space felt safe, challenging, and culturally attuned. I’m deeply grateful for how much I’ve grown."
Highly Recommend Their Expertise and Experience
"I would highly recommend this training program! Every trainer and consultant I worked with offered me new knowledge based off of their own expertise and experience and that is something I value greatly. Even though the training was fully online, the trainers did such a great job of making it feel like we were all in the same room with one another. I especially loved working within my 'triad' from mod to mod and getting to know others in the field! The slower pacing of the class allowed me to really consume and take in all of the material in a way that I don't think I would've been able to get from a more quickly paced program. Highly recommend!"
A Pivotal Addition to My Skillset
"The EMDR Basic Training at EMDR Center of the Rockies has significantly enhanced my therapy practice, enabling me to address long-standing trauma with more profound and positive impacts than ever before. Clients have reported marked improvements in their daily functioning and overall quality of life, which is deeply rewarding. The training has broadened my therapeutic approaches, allowing me to offer more targeted and effective interventions for those dealing with complex trauma. It's been a pivotal addition to my skill set, empowering me to better serve my clients with the nuanced and affirming care they deserve."
An Amazing Training
"This was an amazing training and I learned more than I expected and I appreciate the high level of content, organization, and relevancy to my work. I have already had clients complete their treatment successfully during the course of these trainings because of what I learned. I cannot wait to see what else is in the EMDR world. Thank you so much!"
Current, Clear and Helpful
"Tamra and her team are magnificent. Slides and videos were current, clear and helpful and the training was well administered. I will recommend this course to my community."
Worth Every Penny!
"This was a fabulous training and really has brought my overall approach to mental health and counseling to the next level. Tamra was knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful in conveying the material, as well as providing ongoing opportunities to practice and implement the EMDR approach, both during the training as well as between trainings. I also felt the consultation both during and following the training has been extremely helpful as I implement EMDR in my practice. Worth every penny!"
Invaluable Tools
"Participating in the EMDR Basic Training at EMDR Center of the Rockies has been a transformative experience, professionally and for my clients. The blend of morning lectures and afternoon practicums offered a comprehensive understanding and hands-on practice of EMDR, enriched by the diverse teaching styles of various facilitators.
