I took EMDR training because I felt my formal education had left me very underprepared to treat trauma and I was tired of going to conferences and leaving without any new tangible skills. EMDR training with Barb absolutely helped meet both of those goals. I walked away with so much more knowledge about healing trauma and I had actual, tangible skills I could use immediately with clients. I’ve taken the skills I learned in person and transitioned them to working remotely through COVID with good success, as well. EMDR has been the closest to magic I’ve come in the therapy room AND it’s a modality that empowers me to take care of my own nervous system and reduce burnout. Win-win!

I just finished the second 3day seminar with the instructor Barb Maiberger. Several months ago we did the first 3 days. In those 3 days, we were taught enough skills to begin working with and preparing our clients to work on their trauma. My clients are thrilled. Barb is a master at doing and teaching EMDR. Taking this course was one of the best decisions I’ve made as a licensed therapist.

I attended my basic EMDR training through the Maiberger Institute. Barb and her team did an excellent job in preparing me to begin my EMDR journey. One of the finest trainings that I have ever participated in during my career as a therapist. Thank you.

Barb and her team thought of everything when the training shifted to online. The online course for EMDR training was on point; nothing was forgotten, everything went smooth, and it felt like we were all in the same room together learning. I feel like I learned everything and then some when it came to the training with Maiberger Institute. I am confident in delivering the EMDR skills in person as well as telemed options as we see our profession shift in more online options for therapy. The online training became more feasible for therapists to take. 10/10 recommend!

Training at the Maiberger Institute was the best decision I’ve made since I got my MA. EMDR has helped me be a better therapist who has options when emotions seem “stuck” and aren’t responding to traditional CBT therapy and also allows me to treat trauma head on and effectively. The results I’ve seen are incredible! I have also experienced EMDR as a client for my own trauma and it was really helpful and life changing! After attending the Maiberger Institute and doing the supervision group that goes with it, I was ready to start using EMDR with my clients right away! I highly recommend it to all therapists!

The Maiberger Institute is a pillar of professionalism, which fully prepares one to be an EMDR therapist. I can’t explain truly how much this excellent training has transformed my clinical work in just under one year. I took this training last October with Barb and wish I had done it so much sooner! I work primarily with substance use and trauma and the transformations have been remarkable. Being able to desensitize triggers for use in early recovery has been vital. As an added vote of my confidence in the institute, I am currently on the website registering two of my staff members to take the same training this October. I wouldn’t want them to be trained my anyone other Barb. She is an excellent teacher. However, beyond that she is thoughtful and always puts the client first and explores all potential ethical dilemmas we may face as clinicians. I highly recommend this training. You’ll wonder why you didn’t take it sooner!!

It’s so empowering to know that our brains and bodies want healing. Through the Maiberger Institute Remote EMDR Training, Barb and her colleagues effectively taught, modeled and encouraged me as a clinician to use EMDR therapy in my practice as a LMSW therapist and I am forever grateful. Barb is so warm, knowledgeable and helpful. This training has been a catalyst for the growth and healing process for, not only the clients I serve, but also myself. I highly recommend it!

This was one of the most valuable trainings I have ever done in my clinical journey thus far. Barb is so professional and beyond organized (literally starts sessions right on the dot!!!) that helps contribute to a sense of structure and safety in the training. Furthermore, shes so knowledgeable about broad clinical matters, and of course, trauma. This training has really helped me feel confident not just working with clients struggling with PTSD dx, but all clients in general. I was worried about the virtual format, but I took away just as much as I think I would have if it was an in-person training. Thank you Barb and the Maiberger Institute!

Such an incredible training. It was invaluable to my practice and has changed my work as a therapist in many ways. It is a wonderful modality and Barb and her team do an incredible job of teaching very subtle and complex material. Highly recommended.

This training was a wonderful experience. Id been wanting to learn EMDR for a while, and am SO happy I found the Maiberger Institute to do my training with. I was a little nervous about it being online, but attending virtually was super easy and actually helped me see how EMDR can be very effective with virtual clients as well as those you see in person. The training is very time and cost effective, and split between education and practice/experience well.What really makes this training stand out is its Somatic focus and its emphasis on the positive implications of the possibilities of EMDR to address client issues. From SAT prep, to improving sports performance, increasing one self-esteem and reducing fear of or nervousness about upcoming events, EMDR has such promise beyond just the amazing effects its already demonstrated on relieving and treating trauma symptoms. So happy I have taken the time to learn this modality that adds to my effectiveness as a therapist in innumerable ways.

I am so thoroughly pleased with the professionalism, presentation, support, and enthusiasm for EMDR that I received while training with Barb and others at the Maiberger Institute. We started in person before the pandemic, and thanks to the hard work at the Maiberger Institute, we were able to complete our training online. I felt apprehensive about the online experience, but Barb is such a knowledgeable and engaging presenter that I felt that my learning experience was just as good online. I highly recommend the Maiberger Institute if you want a quality and supportive learning experience.

Introduced to EMDR in grad school, I had some reservations. But after obtaining a degree in psychology with a concentration in trauma and working with a clientele with PTSD and Complex PTSD, I encountered situations traditional modalities did not arrest. I chose Maiberger Institute for my EMDR training because it was EMDRIA supported. Then, I wondered how instruction would be compromised when I learned our in personal learning would be virtual due to the onset of the pandemic. My EMDR training with Maiberger Institute proved exceptional, first-rate. The instruction was informative and thorough—line upon line and precept upon precept. The course included teaching but also repetitive training opportunities accompanied with ample support and team camaraderie. My EMDR training with Maiberger Institute gave my practice the lift it needed to bring people to healing and wholeness, non-intrusively. Professional colleagues trained in EMDR often inquire about the depth, precision, excellence, and origin of my training. Maiberger Institute, thank you for making the difference!Sharie L. Neal, M.A.Exton, PA

The training and follow up consultation were absolutely superb in the way the information was presented and processed. It was done in a manner that it immediately had an impact on my practice. Having EMDR as a powerful tool gives me the ability to successfully work with clients who have struggled to make changes through talk therapies. Barb is the best trainer and subject matter expert that I have ever had the pleasure of learning from, and for two decades all I did was provided professional development and training. From my “hard to impress” posture, Barb managed to quickly establish credibility. I would recommend Barb’s services to any therapist who sincerely wants to learn an incredibly effective modality. It has made me a more effective therapist.

WOW! Amazing training! When the training switched from in-person to remote, I was skeptical. Would I be able to focus that long? Would I get as much out of it?I was blown away. Barb was INCREDIBLY organized with her online curriculum. Shes a master at ZOOM and the tools it has to offer. It was clear that she was well-versed and nothing about this training (or her zoom skills) felt clunky or disorganized.Overall, I was surprised how much I enjoyed doing this training online. I still felt like I was able to get individual attention and all my questions (and I have a lot) answered. I will say that literally EVERY sentence that comes out of Barbs mouth is useful! Theres NO extraneous information. So, needless to say, the training is packed. I left each day feeling invigorated and also exhausted....so it was nice to be home.Knowing what I know now, would I choose virtual over in person again? Probably. Im an extrovert, but really loved being comfy in my own home. I dont think the online experience changed the training in any way....if anything, I felt comfortable on my couch in a training that does require some vulnerability.

I attended Barb’s initial EMDR training back in 2016. It immediately made a positive impact on my practice. Clients that I would hit brick walls with in Talk Therapy, found relief and new freedom from intrusive thoughts due to past traumatic experiences as we worked through these events with EMDR processing. The training properly prepared me for a range of client presentations including children and adults. The tools Barb teaches are great for resourcing clients even if there is not a need for EMDR processing. You leave the training with a rich inventory of new interventions to use with your clients.Although direct application of the protocols Barb taught in the initial class worked wonderfully, I realized after a few years of applying EMDR methodology that there were aspects of EMDR I was still unsure about that affected by confidence and treatment efficiency. For the past year I’ve been consulting with Barb monthly working toward EMDR Certification. It has been an incredible, enriching journey that has allowed me to grow as an EMDR therapist significantly. Barb has wonderful insights and guidance as we work together on unexpected client responses and questions I have. Barb has honed my EMDR skills helping me develop the “art” of EMDR therapy beyond simply practicing the protocols. I’m able to adjust to unique client responses and presentations which have helped me to be confident and work efficiently with my clients.

I took Maiberger Institutes EMDR basic training two years ago. I was so impressed with her skills, knowledge, and her passion for EMDR that I decided to continue with my EMDRIA certification as well as additional trainings through Maiberger Institute. Best investment I made. I HIGHLY recommend you take your EMDR training(s) through Maiberger Institute.

This is the best training Ive attended in my 20 years of clinical work. My only regret is not having done it sooner. It has changed the way I practice. I see such rapid change in my clients who have been suffering from years of unresolved trauma.

I got my Masters over 20 years ago and getting EMDR training was a bucket-list kind of thing for me. I am so thankful I got my training with Maiberger Institute. The training was phenomenal. Barb provided lots of time for practice and incorporated somatic elements. She was a very supportive teacher and her demonstrations were extraordinary. This training has changed the way I practice. I have a whole new way to help people heal now. Dont wait as long as I did, take the training!

The Mailberger Institute training was clear, thorough, easy to follow and included experiential learning and consultation which is so critical for developing new skills. Barbs experience and knowledge shine through. I especially appreciated the incorporation of somatic techniques into the protocol. Very helpful!

I was blown away by the Maiberger Institute. From start to finish, this was the most intentional and helpful training I have ever received. Barb is an exceptional human being that brings immense passion into each day and is able to ignite excitement and growth in all trainees. The training provided tangible skills and structure that I was able to implement immediately with clients. I not only saw immediate positive impacts with my clients, but I also felt confident and supported in using EMDR therapy thanks to the detailed training and consultation throughout. I was inspired to grow into a better therapist each minute of this experience. I feel that this is the only place to get EMDR trained, and I cannot say enough about how much I appreciate the Maiberger Institute.

This training and follow-up consultation was skillfully presented and incredibly helpful to my practice. Barb was very knowledgeable and found an excellent balance between providing a wealth of information with making sure participants understood core tenets and EMDR protocols. She was very responsive to the individual questions and needs of her audience. My clients have quickly benefited from my integration of EMDR into our work, and the training itself provided renewed energy into my clinical practice. The ongoing consultation in between trainings was also well done and made it much easier for the wealth of material to feel applicable and useful. I have attended many trainings in which I came away thinking they were interesting, but I did not have enough knowledge to apply the material as thoroughly as I would like. That is not the case with this training! I have been able to utilize my learning quickly, and feel encouraged to continue to build on my initial training with additional resources and future trainings. I would highly recommend Barb and her trainings to those interested in getting both the basics and more advanced EMDR training.

I just completed the second weekend of EMDR training with Barb Maiberger. What an amazing experience! Barb has incredible knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend training with the Maiberger Institute. You will expand your knowledge base and grow as a counselor.

The Maiberger Institute EMDR training EXCEEDED my expectations. Not only did the training deliver an amazing amount of content and resources, it did so in an effective and organized fashion. Barb kept the space beautifully contained, which is super important when teaching trauma work. Also, the training pulled together and helped me gain clarity on my therapeutic understanding of how to facilitate healing for clients. This EMDR training was to missing piece for my offerings as a clinician. Definitely looking forward to taking another training through Maiberger! Such a quality training, completely worth the investment.

I have attended three different trainings with Barb Maiberger. She is an excellent trainer. She truly cares about the people she is training about EMDR and is passionate in the work she does. I would recommend Barb for any trainings regarding EMDR Therapy. I am doing consultation with her and she is a true blessing to me and my practice. Her ability to see things and give information about cases is amazing.

I started the EMDR Basics training through the Maiberger Institute in person (on the precipice of COVID closures) and completed the second weekend online due to the necessity of avoiding large group gatherings. I was nervous that something would be lost in moving online, but that was not my experience at all. Barb created a supportive setting and cultivated a strong sense of group cohesion and connection in the virtual space. The material was just as organized and clear as when we were in person, and the demonstrations were even more compelling than in person in some ways as Barb modeled the ability to connect and attune so completely through a screen. The small groups in the breakout rooms were wonderful and were easier to connect with group members than in the in person training as this provided a quieter setting. Barb and Sarah provided lots of individualized feedback as they observed us and moved in and out of the breakout rooms. I so appreciated having the opportunity to do this training online, because it has left me feeling confident about working with clients through telehealth. I am grateful for this experience and would recommend this training to any therapists who are interested in learning in EMDR!

All trainings are not created equal and thats where Maiberger Institute comes in! Barbs breadth of clinical knowledge, therapy experience and teaching expertise will leave you feeling heard, supported and solidly ready to integrate EMDR into your practice when training is completed. The small in-person days gave me a confident foundation to start practicing EMDR and the following multiple group consultations (virtual) deepened my understanding by answering more specific questions I encountered in practice in a timely manner. Time and money extremely well spent!

Highly skilled, professional, and thorough! I am so glad I received my training with Barb and her team. The approach of incorporating somatic techniques takes EMDR to a whole other level. My clients and I thank you!

The EMDR training at Maiberger is professional and well organized. Ive recommended this institute to many colleagues and they seem to agree.

Training with Maiberger Institute was a professional and personal growth experience. EMDR has provided my clients with another avenue for treatment of trauma and substance use disorders. Maiberger training was relational, comprehensive, and has added to business growth.

I am an LPC and this completely changed the way I counsel. It taught me to focus on the somatic part. I have decided to move on to the certification process! Barb is so knowledgeable!!

Thank you so much for an incredible training! Barb is a gifted teacher on top of her incredible clinical skills. She does a great job reminding us we are learners and mistakes are okay! I very much enjoyed every aspect of this training. Barb and her training are thorough, and its worth every penny!

Barbs EMDR trainings have transformed me as a clinician. She has an unbelievable ability to break down EMDR in a way that is easy to immediately apply, understand, and implement into your practice. Her trainings also help you grow both personally and professionally. I would highly recommend any of Barbs trainings.

EMDR training at the Maiberger Institute was amazing! Taking the training with Barb provided me the skills to add a beneficial service to clients and gave me the skills to succeed as an EMDR counselor. Super grateful to the Maiberger Institute for providing this quality training! Thank you!

I have been treating trauma for about 15 years. EMDR provided an entirely new perspective on treatment. I approach my practice with new energy. Barb is excellent. She expertly presents a LOT of information in a manner that is understandable and applicable in practice almost immediately. As a trainer, Barb conveys her excitement and appreciation for EMDR in such a way that makes learning enjoyable. Im so glad I did this!

An excellent training for EMDR. EMDR was completely new to me but I felt something was missing from my work with clients. There were clients still struggling after years of therapy and traditional methods just werent helping them. Luckily, I found Barbs training which taught me so much about trauma work and was exactly what my clients needed to get unstuck. The size of the group was perfect and it was such a safe environment. Other colleagues trained elsewhere were jealous of my experience. It has been a literal lifesaver.

This training has been THE BEST investment I have made in my career as a psychotherapist. Barb is an expert and is clearly passionate about this work. If you have the opportunity to take part in this training, itll be one of the best decisions you will have made. Guaranteed.

I highly recommend EMDR training through the Maiberger Institute. Barbs small class size allowed for personalized attention and one-on-one coaching, which helped cultivate my understanding of the techniques and my confidence in using them. While I have attended other trainings throughout my career, my experience with EMDR training through Maiberger Institute has had a profound impact on me both professionally and personally. I look forward to attending additional trainings with Barb.

The Maiberger Institute provided a comprehensive EMDR training. Barb and Sarah are very experienced practitioners. Following the training I felt confident in my skills and training not only in EMDR, but in trauma as a whole. I highly recommend the Maiberger Institute to anyone interested in an EMDR certification program.

I loved this training and learned so many more tools to incorporate into my practice besides just EMDR therapy! Barb is intelligent, dynamic, and is a proven leader in the EMDR field. I would highly recommend Barb and the Maiberger Institute for any Clinician considering EMDR training.

“I found the Maiberger Institute training in EMDR to be both engaging and comprehensive, proving me all the tools to utilize EMDR effectively in my work with clients struggling with complex PTSD. I walked away from Barb’s training feeling equipped help clients at a deeper and more holistic level.”

I can’t recommend training with Barb enough. I learned so much in an extremely supportive atmosphere. It has added so much to my practice already. I will definitely attend more of Barb’s trainings in the future.

This workshop was so humbling, personally and professionally. Barb is highly experienced, patient and a wonderful educator. I highly recommend this training for any therapist looking to grow their clinical skills in the trauma realm!!

This training is truly amazing and will only add value to your practice. Becoming trained in EMDR is the best decision I have ever made professionally and I recommend this training to anyone who wants to increase your therapy skills and have the experience of a supportive and encouraging learning environment. EMDR will be the missing piece of your therapeutic puzzle that you didnt even realize was missing!!

I highly recommend training with Barb and The Maiberger Institute. I have taken multiple trainings over many years of practice and I can whole-heartedly say that this training is of the highest quality. It has felt very natural and authentic to incorporate EMDR into my practice from this perspective. Im not sure if it would have felt this way if I trained elsewhere. Barb and her staff are top notch!

As a therapist within the framework of EAP brief, solution-focused work, I was told EMDR was not an option for clients with trauma histories. I have found the opposite to be true, thanks to the EMDR resourcing and somatic interventions presented during Barb’s trainings. My time with clients may be brief, but because of skills learned during the EMDR trainings, I am now able to safely help clients find immediate relief from trauma-related triggers before providing long-term treatment referrals. Thanks to the quality training and support offered by Barb and the EMDR supervisors, I have been able to carve out a successful niche within a system that was off-limits. And for that I am grateful!Jennifer Adams, LMFT

I went to my first training a few days ago, in Greenwood Village. Wow, is Barb great. Not only is she sharp and knowledgeable, but shes pragmatic AND dynamic in her approach. She includes mnemonics to help remember concepts and repetition of layering protocol so that the information is fully integrated. The practice was incredibly helpful, and the small group size felt supportive. This training and Barbs encouragement specifically, made me confident to go and begin my journey as an EMDR practitioner right away! I havent been this jazzed about clinical practice in a long time :)

Ive just completed the basic training, and am amazed at the wealth of knowledge and skills I was able to begin using with clients beginning after that first weekend. My clients have benefited and theres been healing and progress that I believe would not have occurred without EMDR. Barb is a dynamic, empathic and inspiring trainer- I have gained so much professionally and also on a personal level. Trust the process. I highly recommend Barbs trainings. Thank you Barb!

I took Barbs EMDR training--six full days of training and 5 group consultation sessions for an amazingly affordable price.The training days (two 3-day weekends) were outstanding. Barb is a skilled clinician, a knowledgeable expert, and an excellent teacher/presenter/facilitator. I worked in education and consulting before coming into counseling and have facilitated or taught many classes, courses, work sessions, meetings, etc. and honestly, it doesnt get any better than this.The material and her process were highly organized and extremely clear, yet fully responsive to questions and concerns of participants. There was a good balance among lecture, Q&A and practice.The group consultation sessions showed off the same skills--careful listening, expert analysis, depth of clinical experience and expertise.Altogether a wonderful, helpful learning experience.My best suggestion: If you want to learn EMDR, learn it here.

I am incredibly grateful for the expert training of Barb and the Maiberger Institute. I went through the basic EMDR training a few years ago and just completed the advanced grief training this weekend. I continue to value Barbs insight and the additional resources she brings to the important field of trauma work. I highly recommend it for any therapist looking to grow their skills!

I looked into a lot of EMDR trainings before I chose Barb and the Maiberger Institute. I am so glad I chose her! She is truly an expert in the field, has a great teaching style and is incredibly encouraging. I plan to take more trainings with her later and would recommend her trainings to anyone who is interested, without hesitation!

From the start of training Barb sets a comfortable and passionate setting where its easy to learn and practice. Her passion is evident and contagious! Im so glad I got my initial EMDR Training from Barb and am excited to continue my journey using this wonderful modality in my practice! Thanks Barb!

This was the worst experience I have ever had trying to register for a training!!! They were NOT helpful and I felt I got the run around! They thought I was ineligible because I was not on the website as a EMDR trained therapist even though I provided ALL of my HARD copies of my eligibility, ALL of my certificates. They then cancelled my registration and told me if I fixed the problem of not being on the website (which I opted out of being listed because Im not providing private practice) I could be reinstated. So I did this!! Only to be told that the training was sold out! This was a nightmare, and not worth the hassle. There are other EMDR institutes that never would treat someone this way.

Barb Maiberger is a true master at implementing and teaching EMDR therapy! This was more than just a review for me though I had taken a previous version of the training many years ago. After experiencing my own traumatic health crisis and taking a break from therapy for a few years I knew I wanted to resume my work as a trauma therapist. I needed to re-learn everything and am so glad I chose the Maiberger Institute to do so. The training was packed with information, lots of practice and plenty of Barbs humor. The ongoing consultation groups with Barb and other therapists were an important boost to the learning process. Im absolutely looking forward to future trainings with Barb and the Maiberger team.

Hands down one of the best trainings I have been too! And I am a learning junky!

Despite participants’ differing work environments, trauma reactions are ubiquitous and there’s a dire need for better protocols to promote healing. Barb conducted a first-rate training by overcoming initial skepticism with practical and research –based evidence. There is a lot of new information and experiential demonstrations…don’t get me wrong…you are moving! But the workshop and subsequent supervisions are participant-centered, structured and delivered in a sweet ‘window of tolerance’. I felt well-resourced and well-supported to effectively address client needs and continue my own growth. I came out of it a more hopeful, effective clinician.Donna Hunter, M.A. CMHC

This training was absolutely amazing! It has grown my skills tremendously as a therapist working predominantly with clients that have experienced a lot of trauma. Barbs teaching style is amazing and offered so many hands on opportunities to practice everything I was learning. I used what I learned in the training immediately and noticed a huge shift in my clients’ growth. My clients have also been really happy with the growth they are noticing in themselves and have been very happy with the shift towards utilizing EMDR in my practice. Thank you so much to Barb and Maiberger Institute!

Barb is one of the best workshop presenters I have ever experienced. She knows the material through and through, teaches from the heart, sprinkles humor throughout the weekend and welcomes challenging questions and attitudes. I will be back to take every course she offers.

I have never been so pleased with the thorough and complete process involved in training as I have been with Barb and the Maiberger Institute. The depth of the information and practice supports the professional and provides the professional immense ability to practice and provide superior EMDR services for their populations. I have been involved in peer support, CISM and CIT throughout my thirty years of police work. I have been a licensed professional counselor for twenty years. I have been an adjunct professor teaching masters level counseling programs for the past three years. In all of these experiences, I have never been provided with the myriad of information, experience and practice provided through this training with the Maiberger Institute and with Barb and the other professionals who assist in the training. If you are deciding where to take this training and with whom, I wholeheartedly recommend that you take your training with Barb and her colleagues. This has been the BEST experience I have been involved with in training and continuing education.

I highly recommend training at the Maiberger Institute. Ive completed Part 1 and 2 of the Basic EMDR Training, and have found it to be invaluable to my practice. Barb is truly a master at both EMDR Therapy and teaching. Im amazed how much she is able to teach us in such a short amount of time. She is so thoughtful and skilled in how she structures the program and delivers the information, allowing so many skills to sink in. This program has been well worth the cost and commitment, and Im excited to attend Barbs Advanced Workshops in the future.

I’m a optimistic skeptic about most things, and am not quick to dole out 5 stars, but this training exceeded my expectations. Not only did I gain skills to help my clients, but I experienced personal breakthroughs as well. Barb is a dynamic teacher, EMDR is powerful. I’m excited to bring EMDR to my practice.

I completed Barbs EMDR Level I Training and it was fantastic. It has completely changed the way I view and practice therapy! I would recommend to any clinician interested in body work, trauma, or simply expanding their practice. Using EMDR Therapy with my clients has resulted in extraordinary change for them.

I have learned so much from these trainings and have integrated them into my practice. EMDR therapy has been invaluable to my clients healing. Barb is an excellent teacher and facilitator. I leave her trainings feeling refreshed, inspired, and confident in my abilities to help others.

I recently completed the attachment training with Barb and Arielle - amazing experience! The next day, I was able to immediately apply what I learned to a client who had been struggling. The results were evident right away - so powerful. I took my basic EMDR training from Barb as well as 2 advanced trainings. Each one is better than the last. The next one I want to take is the somatic experiencing!

I just finished the advanced training called EMDR Therapy Tools for Grief and Loss. Both Barb Maiberger and Katie Asmus were AMAZING trainers. They provided such a safe space for the class to be open, vulnerable, and receive the tools needed for our own lives as well as our clients. I always leave Barbs trainings feeling as if Ive grown as a person and as a clinician. Im grateful for the life changing weekend!

My experience with EMDR training at the Maiberger Institute was truly exceptional!! Barb and other staff have such an authentic manner of delivering this amazing content while supportively providing challenging experiential opportunities to participants. I am so thankful for such a focused, in-depth foundational knowledge and the many tools with which I was given to aid me in my ongoing quest of providing the best, most up to date care for my clients. I intend to pursue additional trainings at the Maiberger Institute as I know now the quality, care and detail put into trainee preparation. Much gratitude!

I highly recommend the Maiberger Institute for EMDR trainings; basic and advanced courses. Barb Maiberger is constantly updating her material and making sure her participants have the most up to date information in the field. She includes on-going consultation meetings in the basic training to offer additional support as well as a live-demo and demonstrates an interest in her participants becoming solid EMDR therapists. I look forward to being a continued part of the Maiberger Institute.

Barb is an extraordinarily competent and passionate teacher and therapist. As a client, I had so-so experiences and results with EMDR in the past; consequently, I was not really enthusiastic about getting the training for EMDR therapy as a clinician, although I did recognize the respect it has gained over the years. Because of Barb’s expert teaching skills, guidance, and follow up consultation, my previous so-so experience has been transformed. I, too, have gained tremendous respect and enthusiasm for the powerful healing experience EMDR therapy can be. It was really exciting and gratifying to witness all of us students grow in confidence and competence as well! Thank you Barb for your leadership!

The Maiberger Institute provides an amazing and integrated experience into the practice of EMDR therapy. I am a currently completing my own training. I highly recommend this exceptional training and consultation series.Update 10/29/19: Looking back I still feel the same way, and I am still extremely satisfied. EMDR is an amazing tool of treatment, and Barb is an exceptional teacher of that craft!Update 7/23/20: I am now in the certification process for EMDR, and have chosen to work with Barb once again. Through my individual consultations, I am actively identifying areas that I can enhance my skills and improve my treatment effectiveness. I am building from my training and creating opportunities for professional growth. It is the best decision I have made in my career.

This training is the best! After 12 years working as a counselor, I finally decided to be trained in EMDR. After much research of various EMDR trainers I chose this institute and just finished taking Barbs EMDR Basic Training and cannot say enough positive comments about this training. She deserves more than 5 stars for this outstanding training. Barb is a fantastic trainer who is very knowledgeable and experienced in EMDR and combines this with much humor, patience and encouragement during the course of this training experience. This training is packed with information, opportunities to witness Barb do the work, and lots of practical exercises to learn the modality. It is already impacting my work for the better. Anyone who is considering this course will not be disappointed. One of the best investments you will ever make. Thank you for a great training experience!

I recently completed EMDR Basic Training with Barb at the Maiberger Institute and it has dramatically changed the way I conceptualize and work with trauma! The training is eye-opening - the presentations are amazing, client care is at the forefront of what Barb teaches, and I was able to immediately implement what I learned in my work with clients struggling with trauma. I highly recommend this training!

Barb is a truely gifted therapist and trainer. I have done tons of trainings over the years and what Barb offers is the most comprehenive, well organzied and supportive thing available! Really, she is rated so highly for a reason!

Barb was an incredible instructor and her knowledge regarding EMDR and trauma treatment is also above my expectations. The training I engaged in was very personal and filled with support, it seemed that my success in this area of practice was truly important to Barb. I highly recommend Barb and the Mailberger Institute for training....

I had a great training experience with Barb at the Maiberger Institute. She has the unique combination of being a truly knowledgeable and skilled provider of EMDR therapy, while also being an effective and engaging teacher. The basic EMDR training was digestible and relatable. It has been inspiring and revitalizing for my practice. I will definitely be going back for further training!

I truly believe that a large part of why I am comfortable using EMDR and it has been so beneficial for my clients is because I learned from Barb! - Sara Peterson

Comparably priced to other programs, the Maiberger Institute gave me much more than just a foundation in EMDR. Barb Maiberger generously and thoughtfully shares her wisdom that she gained through trying many things until she found what works. My journey as an EMDR therapist is made so much easier thanks to Barbs insights and perseverance. I didnt just get a great education about EMDR. Barb inspired me to connect with why I do therapy and who I am as a therapist. I have so much more confidence working with complex trauma. If you want to learn how to do EMDR, there might be lots of options, but if you want to be transformed, I would recommend the Maiberger Institute.

I completed Maiberger Institutes EMDR basic training in 2015 and the advanced training on attachment trauma in 2016. Both trainings were excellent and have had a tremendous impact on my practice.I came into these trainings with several yearsexperience as a clinician, with a neuro-developmental therapeutic orientation which stresses the impact of early childhood trauma and attachment on the functioning of the nervous system and setting templates for the rest of life. EMDR therapy, and even more significantly the advanced training on attachment trauma, has helped me to integrate that neuro-developmental approach to understanding the why behind peoples emotions and behaviors, with the ability to help facilitate peoples healing from those early life insults.The way Barb and her colleagues teach the trainings is fun, engaging, and very personal. The support and consultation received during and following training was extremely valuable. I cant imagine that EMDR trainings with anyone other than Maiberger Institute would have afforded me the same experience.Thanks Barb!Jason Erickson, M.S., LMLPWichita, KS

I have had the privilege of attending the EMDR course offered by Barb Maiberger. I initially went into the training and the protocol with some reserved skepticism but have found it to be a fantastic modality that enhances my practice. It is clear to me that Barb cares very deeply for the people she mentors and teachers. She has a passion for EMDR and solid clinical care that permeates all levels of the training experience. It doesnt take a person long to see that Barb excels clinically and as a trainer which brings a fantastic dynamic to the process. She brings a wealth of knowledge and many strengths to the table as well as a humble and empowering presence. I am happy to have the privilege to practice EMDR, even happier to have met Barb. May the road you have yet to travel leave a smile on your face. Take Care!

Over the last 15 plus years I have attended EMDR workshops. Barb consistently produces and informative excellent and clear Workshop. I believe including this weekend work Ive attended three of her workshops. Each time I have learned an immeasurable amount of information to help my clients obtain peace and healing. The workshop I just went through on blending EMDR with so Somatics was clear and extremely informative. I highly recommend any of you who want to expand your knowledge to take any one of Barbs workshops

I first attended this training just a little bit skeptical about EMDR therapy. I walked away convinced of its efficacy. Barb is insightful, knowledgeable, and professional in the field of EMDR; her easy-to-read book makes EMDR so much clearer to the new learner. She imparts creativity and hope for handling unique clients. During the hands-on practice portion of the training, Barb was always there ready to give immediate and knowledgeable step-by-step guidance in how to handle difficulties or in answering questions. The level of Barb’s training has far exceeded my expectations of basic EMDR skills. I can definitely say that Barb’s training and expertise has greatly increased my skills as a therapist.

I was familiar with the concepts of EMDR prior to training with Barb, however she is very knowledgable and worked hard to ensure participants understood the material and concepts of EMDR. I felt confident after my training with Barb to utilize EMDR in my therapy practice. I look forward to attending her advance trainings in the future. If you are going to get EMDR trained go straight to Barbs website and register.

I have attended several of Barb Maibergers EMDRs trainings over the last 5 years. I always come away with great information, a feeling of support and a renewed confidence in the application of EMDR with my clients on a wide variety of concerns. Barb is knowledgeable, funny, practical and an engaging trainer. I highly recommend the trainings! In addition, her book EMDR Essentials has been a valuable tool for me and for clients to read as well.

REMARKABLE: IMMEDIATE BENEFIT AND APPLICATION!Ive been a licensed therapist for twenty-four years and have given and attended trainings and conferences around the world. Without question, the clinical training Ive received at Maiberger Institute has been (by far) the most compelling and the most applicable to date.Recently, I completed EMDR training with Barb, and this past weekend completed the Self Care for Therapists training. Both weekends were professionally and personally rewarding, with immediate benefit and application. So much so, that as dates are released for 2016, Im planning on attending Maiberger Institute trainings on Addiction and EMDR, Attachment and EMDR, and Complex Trauma.The Institutes founder and director, Barb Maiberger, is a dynamic instructor who engages and invites trainees to bring their own story, passion, and professional experience to get equipped to handle real life issues with real clients. Barbs depth of knowledge, experience, humor, and authenticity make sitting in her trainings a joy. Though its exhausting to sit through any training, I never cease to take away a sense of being nurtured and filled up, in addition to the cognitive learning that is so prevalent.Finally, if you wonder whether getting trained in EMDR is for you, I GUARANTEE that the information and skills you learn apart from EMDR protocols will make you a better therapist, clinician, and caregiver.Im a huge fan and tell everyone in my professional circles not to miss the next training. Its that good. Really.
