You’re Not Seeing “Simple” Cases Anymore
Most clinicians don’t struggle because they lack care or skill.
They struggle because their clients are more layered than what traditional approaches fully prepare them for.
You may be working with:
Clients who understand their patterns, but can’t shift them
Trauma that isn’t tied to a single event, but years of lived experience
Attachment wounds, dissociation, or nervous system dysregulation
And at some point, it starts to feel like:
“I know what I’m doing… but something’s still missing.”
That’s where EMDR, when taught well, changes everything.
About NextPhase EMDR
Training Built by a Therapist Who Understands the Work
Statement from our founder, Ginger Pilarski, LPC-MHSP:
Today's clients are showing up with complexity and bringing.... I quickly realized I wasn't equipped to treat the level of trauma I was seeing.
Today’s clients are more complex than ever, bringing layers of trauma that require unique forms of treatment. I developed these trainings with that in mind and love sharing that passion and knowledge with therapists at different stages of their careers.
Whether you are learning EMDR for the first time or refining your expertise, NextPhase EMDR has you covered!
A Different Way to Learn EMDR
NextPhase EMDR doesn’t just teach the model, you learn how to use it with real clients.
This training was built for clinicians who want more than a step-by-step protocol.
It’s for those who want to feel grounded, flexible, and confident in the room, especially when cases get complex.
Here, you’ll learn how to:
Apply EMDR beyond textbook scenarios
1
Most EMDR trainings focus on ideal cases but real clients rarely present that way. You’ll learn how to move beyond rigid scripts and apply EMDR when sessions feel unpredictable, layered, or stuck. This means understanding not just what to do, but why, so you can respond with intention when the work doesn’t follow a straight line.
Adapt the model to different client needs while staying clinically sound
2
Adapt the EMDR model to meet the unique developmental, cultural, cognitive, and clinical needs of each client while maintaining fidelity to EMDR therapy principles and protocols.
Build confidence through practice, not just theory
3
Confidence doesn’t come from understanding concepts, it comes from using them. Through guided practicum, real-time feedback, and supported repetition, you’ll develop the kind of confidence that carries into your sessions. By the end of training, you won’t just know EMDR, you’ll feel more prepared to actually use it.
Strengthen your clinical voice instead of replacing it
4
Develop greater confidence and fluency in using EMDR therapy in a way that complements and enhances your existing therapeutic strengths.
Because EMDR is not meant to make you rigid.
It’s meant to make you more effective.
Helping You Do the Work That Changes Lives
NextPhase EMDR is built on the belief that when therapists feel confident, supported, and well-trained, their clients benefit.
