Training Built by Clinicians Who Understand the Work
Ginger Pilarski, LPC-MHSP
EMDRIA-Approved Trainer and Consultant
I founded NextPhase EMDR to help clinicians develop the skills to offer high-quality EMDR therapy—without losing their own clinical voice.
In my work as a therapist and trainer, I’ve seen how often clinicians leave EMDR trainings still unsure how to apply the model when sessions become complex. Clients aren’t always straightforward, and therapists deserve training that reflects that reality.
That’s why I teach EMDR differently.
My approach is grounded in the belief that EMDR, when taught well, is both structured and accessible. I focus on translating complex theory into clear, practical understanding—so you can use the model with confidence, flexibility, and intention.
In training, I show up authentically and use real-world examples to demonstrate how EMDR works across a wide range of client needs.
You won’t just learn the model.
You’ll learn how to trust yourself using it.

Her approach is collaborative and attuned, creating space for therapists to explore questions, refine case conceptualization, and build clarity in complex cases.
Caleb Baker, LPC
Consultant-in-TrainingCaleb works with clinicians who want more guidance applying EMDR in complex cases, offering practical insight and clear direction that can be immediately translated into client work.
He brings particular focus to attachment wounds, identity-related trauma, and nuanced case conceptualization.
Our Approach to Teaching EMDR
We believe that learning EMDR should feel both structured and human.
The model itself is grounded in clear phases and protocols, but real clinical work requires more than following steps. It requires attunement, flexibility, and the ability to respond to what’s happening in the room.
That’s why our trainings are built around:
Practical application, not just theory
Space for questions, uncertainty, and exploration
A balance of structure and clinical intuition
Respect for each therapist’s unique style and voice
You’re not expected to get it perfect here.
You’re supported in learning how to think, adapt, and grow within the model.
Supporting You as You Support Others
At the heart of NextPhase EMDR is a simple belief:
when therapists feel confident, supported, and well-trained, their clients benefit.
Whether you’re just beginning your EMDR journey or looking to deepen your skills, you’ll be met with a learning environment that values both competence and care.
Because the work you do matters.
And you deserve training that truly prepares you for it.
