Adjunct EMDR? How can it help?
What Is Adjunct EMDR Therapy and How Can It Support Your Healing?
Have you been hearing more about EMDR therapy and wondering if it could help you, but don’t want to step away from your current therapist? That’s where adjunct EMDR therapy comes in.
Adjunct EMDR allows you to work with an EMDR-trained therapist on trauma healing while continuing to see your primary therapist for ongoing support, talk therapy, and processing your day-to-day life.
What Is Adjunct EMDR Therapy?
Adjunct EMDR therapy is a short-term, collaborative approach. Instead of replacing your current therapist, you add in sessions with an EMDR provider to focus specifically on trauma, PTSD, or unresolved past experiences that may still be impacting your life.
This model is especially helpful if:
You want to heal trauma but also value having space for talk therapy.
Your therapist doesn’t provide EMDR but supports you exploring it.
You’re looking for a way to accelerate your healing while staying connected to the therapist you trust.
How Adjunct EMDR Therapy Works
When you begin adjunct EMDR, I’ll request a release of information so I can coordinate with your primary therapist. This collaboration ensures you receive seamless, wraparound care.
During adjunct sessions, we will focus exclusively on EMDR, using evidence-based techniques to reprocess and heal the impact of past trauma. Many clients find this concentrated approach allows them to move through stuck points more effectively.
Flexible Options: Weekly Sessions or EMDR Intensives
Adjunct EMDR can be tailored to your needs. Some people prefer weekly sessions, while others choose an EMDR intensive — a condensed 1–3 day experience designed for deeper, accelerated work.
Whether you’re seeking gradual progress or more focused healing, both options are available to fit your goals and schedule.
