(a) Eligibility Criteria

Licensed Mental Health Professionals

• Qualifying Medical Doctors must be licensed to practice in their state or province.
• Qualifying Advanced Practice Registered Nurses must have a Master of Science in Nursing (or higher) with a specialization in psychiatric mental health nursing and must be licensed to practice through their state board or province.
• Qualifying Mental Health Clinicians must have a Master’s Degree in the mental health field (Counseling, Marriage Family Therapy, Psychology, Psychiatry, Social Work) or related mental health discipline and be licensed to practice through their state board or province.

Pre-Licensed Mental Health Professionals

• These are clinicians who are actively pursuing a mental health license through their state board (or province) while working under a licensed supervisor. Some of these license types may include: associate, intern, limited, provisional, temporary, and pre-license.
• Qualifying Pre-Licensed Mental Health Clinicians must have a Master’s Degree in the mental health field (Counseling, Marriage Family Therapy, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, Social Work) or related mental health discipline and must be actively pursuing a full license through their state board (or province) while working under a licensed supervisor.

Graduate Students

• Qualifying graduate students must be enrolled in a Master’s or Doctoral program in the mental health field (Counseling, Marriage Family Therapy, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Psychiatry, Psychiatric Nursing, Social Work) or related mental health discipline. Students must have completed their core graduate academic coursework and must be in the practicum/ internship portion of their graduate program. First year graduate students are not eligible. Graduate students must be on a licensing track and working under the supervision of a fully licensed mental health clinician.
• Graduate students who would like to take an EMDR Training will need to submit a letter of recommendation from their supervisor, which must include the supervisor’s license information and number in order to verify their eligibility. This letter of recommendation needs to be submitted directly to LK Institute either prior to or during the training registration process.

I understand and acknowledge that:

• I have read and understood the Eligibility Criteria for the EMDR Basic Training, and that I meet the eligibility requirements.
• I am permitted to practice counseling/ psychotherapy according to the state regulatory bodies where I intend to practice EMDR Therapy.
• I am responsible for knowing the practice requirements as dictated by the state in which I intent to practice counseling/psychotherapy, and that I have fulfilled all of those requirements (e.g. graduate student under supervision, non-licensed professional under supervision, independently licensed mental health professional).
• I cannot practice EMDR Therapy, and thus cannot participate in this EMDR Basic Training, if I am not currently eligible to practice counseling/ psychotherapy.
• Failure to provide written documentation to the LK Institute indicating that I am under any required supervision will forfeit my opportunity to participate in EMDR Basic Training and I will not receive a refund.
• All fees are non-refundable, though in the event that I must cancel my scheduled registration participation, I will have one calendar year from the date of payment to participate in a different EMDR Basic Training offered by the LK Institute.
• Per EMDRIA requirements, I must complete the EMDR Basic Training, including all consultations, evaluations and post-test within 12 months of the initial start date to receive my certificate of completion.
• I must provide written intention to participate in alternative training dates with at least 30 days’ notice of the scheduled training. I further understand that my ability to participate in the alternative training dates will be subject to availability.
• Training Dates cannot be separated in the event that I request to schedule a different training than originally registered for.

(b) Participation in Training

A significant component of the training involves clinicians practicing EMDR and related procedures in small groups under the consultation of the instructor or a qualified staff member. These practice experiences are for training purposes only and not for personal therapy. All participants should be prepared to address disturbing real-life experiences as part of this training program in order to appreciate the subjective experience of EMDR Therapy as a client would, and to provide valid training experiences for other participants. It is not unusual for a target memory to be linked to other unexpected, disturbing memories or material, which might surface during or after the practice session. Trauma-related case material presented didactically, in consultation sessions, or on video may be disturbing to those with unresolved personal issues. In submitting their application for training, participants affirm that they have developed appropriate self- soothing and affect/arousal management skills to cope with exposure to this type of material and will be able to employ these skills as necessary during and following EMDR training, practice, and consultation sessions. The trainer reserves the right to withhold or dismiss from training any participant that they deem unable to successfully complete the training for any reason.

By submitting your registration and payment, you acknowledge and agree to all terms outlined in this agreement and the full LK Institute Training Policies.

• 
  I understand and acknowledge that all participants are expected to maintain a spirit of cooperation and mutual support for all in the training. I understand and acknowledge that attention seeking and/or conflict- generating behavior is not conducive to group learning. I understand and acknowledge that the training director has the right to dismiss anyone who is disruptive from the training at any time.
  • I understand participants must attend the training in full to receive the continuing education credits. This includes, but is not limited to applicable attendance, learner assessments and evaluations. Participants will not receive partial credit for partial attendance.
  • I understand and acknowledge that in order to assure confidentiality of personal and clinical information, audio/ video recording by participants is not allowed. I understand and acknowledge that it is expected that all participants shall maintain the highest ethical standards of confidentiality regarding all personal and clinical information shared by others in this training. I understand and acknowledge that failure to maintain confidentiality shall be treated as a professional ethics issue and may result in immediate dismissal from the training program.
  • I understand and acknowledge that should I attend the entirety, or a portion, of this training virtually, I am required to keep my camera on at all times, unless indicated otherwise by the trainer. Per EMDRIA requirements and our continuing education provider, virtual trainees must have their cameras turned on so that training faculty can monitor attendance, visual cues, facial expressions, etc. I understand and acknowledge that should I keep my camera off when indicated to keep my camera on, I may not qualify for continuing education credit and may not receive my Certificate of Completion.
  • I understand and acknowledge that the trainer, nor other therapists/ participants, shall be construed as providing supervision to a participant on any specific cases. I understand and acknowledge that while clinical possibilities will be discussed, and ideas will be shared in relation to the clinical situation presented, I am solely responsible for the clinical management of my client(s)/patient(s) and I am expected to exercise my best judgment in all relevant clinical matters.
  • I understand and acknowledge that whatever information is presented in these sessions is to be kept confidential among the participants both during and after my participation in the group. I agree to avoid disclosure of client’s names or other identifying information in making verbal presentations and in sharing written documentation of the client sessions.
  • I understand that I may have the opportunity to volunteer for a live demonstration during this training, and that participation is completely voluntary and not required for completion. If I
  choose to participate, I accept full responsibility for monitoring my own comfort, using personal boundaries, and deciding what to disclose. I understand I can stop at any time, decline to answer questions, or disagree with clinical perspectives without consequence. If I do not feel confident in my ability to self-monitor or assert verbal boundaries, I agree not to volunteer. I acknowledge that the trainer is not acting as a therapist or supervisor and that demonstrations are for educational illustration only—not clinical assessment or supervision.
  By participating, I give informed consent and agree to review the full Training Policies at https://lkinstitute.com/training-policies for additional details on roles, risks, and limitations.
• As part of this training, there may be opportunities to engage in practicum exercises to practice clinical techniques with other training participants in a structured learning environment. Participation is voluntary and is not a requirement for training completion. All participants are expected to uphold professional ethical standards in accordance with their licensure board and the ACA Code of Ethics. Practicum exercises are for educational purposes only and are not a substitute for clinical supervision or therapy. Trainees are responsible for using clinical discretion, maintaining confidentiality, and ensuring that their participation does not compromise their own or others' well-being. For more information related to practicum policies, including consideration of risks, benefits, and limitations, please refer to the LK Institute Training Policies located on our website at https://lkinstitute.com/training-policies.
  • I understand that video, audio, transcript, or case materials related to client demonstrations, participant demonstrations or case presentations may be shared during the training with appropriate ethical safeguards and informed consent from those involved. I agree to maintain strict confidentiality regarding any such content, and will not disclose, distribute, or discuss these materials outside of the training setting.
• I understand that if I am an employee of LK Institute, there are additional ethical, professional, and organizational considerations that may apply to my participation in this training. These may include dual relationships, boundary complexities, or potential conflicts of interest. I agree to carefully review LK Institute’s most current Training Policies, which outline expectations for employees attending training in any capacity, including risks, benefits and limitations. These policies are accessible at: https://lkinstitute.com/training-
  policies.
• I also understand that participation in LK Institute trainings—whether as a learner, observer, or demonstration volunteer—carries potential benefits, such as professional growth, exposure
  to advanced clinical frameworks, and experiential learning. However, risks may include emotional discomfort, vulnerability when engaging in discussion or live demonstration, or challenges related to role navigation if I am also a staff member or amidst professional colleagues, coworkers, referral sources or coworkers. Limitations include that this training is not a substitute for supervision, therapy, or clinical consultation, and that case material discussed is illustrative, not diagnostic or prescriptive. Clinical outcomes cannot be guaranteed in terms of application to techniques and material covered in this course. I accept responsibility for setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries, seeking clarification where needed, and using professional discretion in how I participate. Referrals for mental health providers will be made available upon request from the participant. For more information related to participation policies, including consideration of risks, benefits, and limitations, please refer to the LK Institute Training Policies located on our website at https://lkinstitute.com/training-policies.
• I understand that this training includes experiential and practicum exercises that involve practicing EMDR procedures using real-life personal memories or clinical material in a structured educational setting. These experiences may evoke unexpected or emotionally activating responses. I affirm that I have adequate self-regulation skills and personal support to manage my participation and will seek outside professional care if needed. I understand that LK Institute does not provide therapy, crisis services, or clinical treatment as part of this training, and that participation in all demonstrations and practicum activities is voluntary.
• I understand that I am responsible for being mindful of potential power dynamics or professional implications when choosing to engage in
  discussions or demonstrations. Disclosures made during training may be visible to colleagues, and I understand I should exercise discretion and self-monitoring regarding what I share. Participation offers the benefit of enhanced clinical skills and applied learning; however, it also carries risks—such as emotional activation, professional vulnerability, or unintended disclosures—and limitations, including that insights are educational and not clinical directives, and training participation may not be suitable for those unable to set or express personal boundaries in a group setting. For more information related to employment funded or peer-based participation policies, including consideration of risks, benefits, and limitations, please refer to the LK Institute Training Policies located on our website at https://lkinstitute.com/training-policies.
