Are You a Therapist Longing for Transformational Work with your Clients?

Grab My Spot + Save $200

You’ve done the coursework. You know the frameworks.

But when you’re face-to-face with clients holding deep pain - or even those struggling with seemingly simple issues - you realize your cognitive and mindfulness tools just aren’t cutting it.

You’re trying your best, but you’re exhausted.
You’re not sure how to move your clients forward,
and it’s starting to wear on you.

This isn’t what you envisioned when you became a therapist.

What if the next step in your professional growth wasn’t just another CEU...
but a truly transformative experience…for you and your clients?

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

  • You feel stuck with clients who repeat the same stories without real relief.

  • You’re overwhelmed trying to choose the “right” trauma training and want something that actually changes your practice; not just adds another credential.

  • You’ve heard of EMDR but want guidance, mentorship, community, and practice—not just theory.

You're not looking for a cookie-cutter method.

You're looking for a solid, supportive foundation in a therapy that works.

YES, THIS IS WHAT I NEED

Guess What… You're Not Alone

Meet Your Trainer:
Dr. Temperance Cervantes

Dr. Temperance Cervantes is a Licensed Psychologist and Licensed Specialist in School Psychology. She is an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant and the founder of WellMind Training Academy, where therapists are equipped with the tools to get to the root of their client’s struggles.

Dr. Cervantes created this EMDR Basic Training to offer both new and seasoned clinicians a comprehensive, clinically grounded approach they can begin using from day one. As a supervisor of a large group practice serving client with complex needs - including first responders and veterans - she continues to witness firsthand what clinicians truly need to be effective. Whether you’re addressing single incident trauma, entrenched defense patterns, PTSD, or dissociative disorders, this training is built to meet those realities.

With over a decade of experience in trauma treatment, group practice leadership, and clinical consultation, she leads every training with a style that’s warm, structured, and relational - because effective trauma therapy requires more than technique. It calls for presence, skill, and confidence.

Neuro-Informed & Practical by Design

Trauma lives in the nervous system - and this training reflects that.
Dr. Cervantes is not only an experienced trauma psychologist but also:

  • Board Certified in Neurofeedback
  • EEG Diplomate Candidate actively conducting brain maps each week
  • Known for making complex neurobiological concepts digestible and applicable

You’ll leave this training not just knowing the “what” of EMDR, but understanding the “why” beneath your clients’ symptoms and how to target those patterns at the level of the brain and body.

What’s Inside the Training

This isn’t just another lecture on trauma therapy; you’ll walk away with tangible tools you can use immediately with your most complex clients.

You’ll learn EMDR from a trainer who integrates real-world clinical experience with advanced neurobiological insight. Every concept is grounded in practice, so you’ll know exactly how to apply it when you’re in the room and other approaches aren’t working.

Expect clear, practical teaching that bridges EMDR theory with hands-on skills. You’ll see how to incorporate the neurobiology of trauma into your case conceptualization, and you’ll leave confident in using EMDR not only for straightforward cases, but also for first responders, veterans, dissociation, and complex trauma presentations.

This training is built for clinicians who want more than theory...they want a proven, science-informed approach they can rely on in the most challenging sessions.

This training was built for that reality.

You’ll get:

20 hours of live instruction

Where the theory of Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) and the 8 Phases of EMDR become accessible and clinically relevant.

20 hours of guided practicum

Where you’ll rotate through clinician and client roles using real-life material - with direct observation and compassionate feedback.

10 hours of live group consultation

Included in your tuition - held after Weekend 1 and Weekend 2 - to help you integrate theory and practice into real-world casework.

This is more than a continuing education training.

It’s a full therapy designed to help you create a course of treatment with your clients. It’s structured to give you not just information, but real, embodied skill.
