Why train with the EMDR Readiness Academy? We are a boutique training agency dedicated to excellence in preparing clinicians to provide safe and effective EMDR therapy.
In order to provide personalized support in integrating EMDR therapy into clinical practice, we strictly limit Basic Training Consultation to groups of 4 (versus the standard of 10 per group permitted by EMDRIA).
Each member of our team of facilitators/consultants has advanced skills in applying EMDR therapy to developmental/attachment trauma and dissociation, which is essential for navigating the real-world complexity of using EMDR therapy with clients.
Our team is comprised of specialists with expertise in treating specific populations with EMDR therapy, allowing you the opportunity to choose a consultant experienced in a treatment area of interest to you. Come in your comfy clothes! We have chosen a warm, restorative setting that is ideal for learning and practicing EMDR therapy skills for the first time – or as a refresher course.
Why become an EMDR therapist? Trauma-informed treatment is increasingly recognized as essential for addressing the underlying vulnerability caused by Adverse Childhood Events (ACE). Higher ACE scores have been associated with a markedly increased incidence of mental health disorders, addictions, and medical conditions.
Advances in the EMDR therapy field have created an understanding of how “second generation” EMDR therapy can be used to treat the effects of insecure attachment, unmet developmental needs, and the “small t” traumas of adverse life events that can underlie and drive anxiety, depression, and other emotional, behavioral, and relationship difficulties.
EMDR therapy was initially developed to treat trauma in the late 1980’s and has been been researched extensively in the decades since. Over 24 randomized controlled trials – the gold standard of study in the field – have provided empirical validation of its efficacy.
EMDR therapy has been assigned to Category A as “strongly recommended” for the treatment of trauma by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense (2004, 2010). EMDR Therapy has been included in SAMHSA’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (2011) for the reductions of trauma-related stress, anxiety, and depression. Most recently in 2013, the WHO (World Health Organization) has formally approved the recommendation of EMDR Therapy for adults and children with PTSD.
Completing a Basic Training approved by the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) provides the foundation for learning to safely and effectively use EMDR therapy in clinical practice. EMDRIA-Approved Basic Trainings undergo rigorous review to ensure quality standards and are required to provide a minimum of 20 hours of instruction, 20 hours of supervised practicum, and 10 hours of consultation.

Registration Fee: Licensed professionals/others - $200.00; Students/Trainees/Interns - $125.00 (Registration fully refundable by February 15, 2020).
6.5 CE Credits – Conference approved by California Psychological Association– Office of Professional Development to sponsor continuing professional education to California licensed PSY/LMFT/LCSW. (#SOU042) Sothern CA Education & Training maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
Topic Overview:
One of the later concepts added to Bowen Theory’s eight concepts, the concept of “Cut-off,” addresses the emotional distance that develops between generations in a family system. More colloquially the term has been employed to describe the emotional distance that can occur between family members, not just cross-generationally. The loss of emotional contact can occur in many ways marked by intense anger to a gradual slow-drifting loss of contact over time. This conference will review the concept of cut-off, it’s appearance and function for the family unit and the benefits and costs that flow from it. It will also review the clinician’s efforts to address cut-off in a family system. While each clinician may approach it slightly differently, the basic techniques of coaching appear to be universal and will be discussed.

Transgender 101: An Introduction to Treatment and Evaluation of Transgender Clients - 3 CEs
Presenter: Christine Calix, PhD
DATE/TIME:Saturday, March 21, 2020 9:00 am - 12:15 pm
LOCATION: SDPA Office 4699 Murphy Canyon Rd. San Diego, California 92123 (In the United Way Building)
Missteps by the clinician can easily occur in evaluation/treatment with transgender clients. As research, clinical experience, and client feedback in this area have cumulated, “best practices” are being established, such as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care (2011) and the APA Practice Guidelines for Transgender Clients (2015).
This course is designed to give the clinician presented with evaluation and/or treatment of a transgender client the preparation to understand the client’s clinical needs, to create a safe environment for exploration of gender identity, and to be able to assist with making decisions regarding the transition process. Basic competence for providing care will be highlighted, along with some tips and general guidelines for understanding and providing competent care to this population.
This course will cover:
Licensed psychologists, graduate students, and allied mental health professionals
PRESENTER:
Dr. Christine Calix has had extensive experience with treatment and evaluation of the transgender population which has included treatment and evaluation of these clients in several clinical settings, including the military, correctional, and private practice settings. She has been a practicing clinical psychologist in San Diego for 39 years, since obtaining her doctorate in psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) in 1980. She has worked as a clinical psychologist in the US Navy; the County of San Diego Mental Health, Forensic Division; California Department of Corrections; and for the last 17 years, with Psychiatric Centers at San Diego. She has taught at the University of California School of Medicine, San Diego State University, Alliant University, and National University. She has done numerous workshops on gender identity, the treatment and evaluation of transgender and gender nonconforming individuals, and the transitioning process in transgender clients. Dr. Calix transitioned in 2019.
