We understand the importance of cultural sensitivity in EMDR therapy. That’s why, as the first African American EMDRIA-approved independent training program, we’ve focused our EMDR training on the critical importance of cultural awareness and sensitivity in every phase of EMDR therapy. From the history-taking phase to the reprocessing phase, we emphasize the importance of being mindful of cultural nuances—both in preparation and throughout the journey toward emotional healing.

At Mosaic Training Institute, we believe everyone’s story matters. We honor the lived experiences of all people, past present, and future. Our core principle is that everyone, regardless of background, contributes to the richness of the human experience.

Our goal? To empower you! We warmly invite you to bring your clinical knowledge, wisdom, and judgment — the foundation of your practice — and watch them flourish through EMDR Basic Training. Elevate your skills from offering trauma-informed care to delivering powerful, trauma-specific psychotherapy that transforms lives.

Here’s what makes us special:

• Culturally responsive training approach:
  

  As we deepen our attunement to the needs of culturally diverse populations, we remain committed to responding with sensitivity and respect. At the same time, we invite each of our EMDR trainees to honor, embrace, and share their own cultural richness and lived experiences. We believe that through this mutual exchange, every participant has the opportunity to grow, connect, and learn from one another in profound ways.

  .

• Inclusive and respectful environment:

  In our training environment, we want people to feel seen, heard, and respected for who they are, it creates a deep sense of belonging. In environments where inclusion is a priority, individuals feel psychologically safe, allowing them to express themselves authentically without fear of rejection or judgment. This leads to stronger engagement, deeper trust, and greater personal and professional satisfaction.

• Enhance your skills: Gain the confidence to effectively utilize the evidence-based therapy of EMDR therapy in your practice.
