EMDR as Brief Adjunct Therapy

We’ve all had those moments in therapy where we feel stuck or loop on issues related to negative life experiences. It can be discouraging for both the client and the therapist. In these times, the primary therapist and client can collaborate with a highly-skilled EMDR therapist to help move treatment forward.

I partner with primary therapists and their clients to relieve specific memories, body sensations, or limiting beliefs standing in the way of progress. By narrowly targeting specific traumatic memories or symptoms, Brief Adjunct EMDR can accelerate progress in traditional therapy. This approach can help the client and the primary therapist to resolve stuck points, and enrich their ongoing work.

Adjunct EMDR therapy does not replace or interrupt ongoing therapy; it is complementary to the primary therapeutic relationship. With Brief Adjunct EMDR therapy, clients continue to receive treatment with their primary therapist. Usually adjunct therapy is time-limited to a prescribed number of Intensive sessions. The success of Adjunct treatment is based on clearly defined goals as agreed upon in collaboration with the primary therapist and client.
