Testimonials
Julie J, LCSW
I am very happy I took EMDR training with Wayne King. He was informative and gentle in encouraging us while we practiced the technique in our small groups, giving feedback and answering all of our questions. I have been pleased with all of the extra support I have gotten while doing the 10 consultation hours with his colleague, Michelle Dunn. I highly recommend doing the EMDR training with them and expanding your modalities for helping clients!
Sarah P, Psychologist
I took the training with Wayne and found him to be an engaging trainer. The training itself was comprehensive and well-structured, providing me with a solid theoretical foundation combined with practical hands-on experience. I appreciated how the training integrated both the scientific research behind EMDR and the compassionate, client-centered approach that is essential to its effectiveness. I would highly recommend Wayne for your EMDR needs!
Madlin L, LGSW
As someone who was initially nervous to take the week-long intensive EMDR training, I left my training with Wayne feeling prepared and empowered to use this intervention with my clients! Wayne does a fantastic job of presenting the material in a way that is easy to understand and keeps you engaged. He is also there to answer any questions you may have, and he shared a variety of useful examples from his years of EMDR experience. Having his input during practice was also extremely helpful, and I definitely left his training feeling confident in my ability to use EMDR with my clients. Overall I highly recommend Wayne as an EMDR trainer, and would certainly send a friend his way!

Wayne’s teaching style incorporates case examples that bring the material to life making all the information stick. I found the training to include a good balance of supervised hands-on practice and lecture. The training was fun and instilled a sense of competence!
