Adjunct EMDR Services
For Clients

Advanced EMDR Support for Your Clients

You're doing meaningful work with your clients. But sometimes, clients get stuck in ways that talk therapy alone can't reach. Whether it's unprocessed trauma, dissociation, or chronic pain with emotional roots, EMDR can help unlock healing and momentum.

I offer adjunct EMDR services for therapists who want to support their clients with targeted trauma work while continuing the core therapy relationship. As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I bring advanced training and deep clinical experience to support complex cases safely and effectively.

Why Adjunct EMDR?

Adjunct EMDR is a collaborative, short-term arrangement designed to:

  • Support clients who are "stuck" or looping in therapy

  • Process a specific trauma or memory that's holding them back

  • Work with somatic symptoms like chronic pelvic pain, migraines, or autoimmune flare-ups that may be linked to unresolved trauma

  • Gently address dissociation or early attachment trauma using EMDR-informed parts work and resourcing

This is not a transfer of care—it's a clinical partnership. Clients return to their primary therapist after the adjunct EMDR work is complete.

When Adjunct EMDR Is A Good Fit

Adjunct EMDR thrives on strong collaboration. For clients with complex trauma or significant dissociation, this often means I take a more integrated role to ensure safe, paced processing that honors the client’s internal parts and developmental needs.

This approach works best when I am closely connected to the primary therapy relationship, helping maintain continuity and safety without fragmenting care.

What I Offer

  • Certified EMDR Therapy: I’ve completed extensive consultation, advanced training, and hundreds of hours of direct EMDR work beyond basic training.

  • Safe Trauma Processing: I specialize in complex PTSD, dissociation, and chronic pain with emotional roots.

  • Collaborative Approach: I’ll stay in communication with you throughout the process, so your client continues to feel supported by their primary therapy relationship.

  • Flexible Structure: Options include 4–8 EMDR sessions focused on a specific target, or ongoing collaboration as needed.

The Process

  1. Referral Conversation – You and I connect briefly to discuss your client’s needs and how adjunct EMDR might help.

  2. Intake Session – I meet with the client to assess readiness and set goals.

  3. Resourcing & Preparation – If needed, I help the client build internal safety and regulation skills before trauma processing.

  4. Targeted EMDR Sessions – We process the agreed-upon target(s) using EMDR, parts work, and attachment-informed tools.

  5. Transition Back – Once the adjunct work is complete, the client returns to your care.

Who It's For

Clients with single-incident traumas (car accidents, medical trauma, assault, etc.)

  • Clients with early attachment wounds who are stuck in relational patterns

  • Clients with chronic health conditions that haven’t improved with medical treatment alone

  • Clients experiencing mild to moderate dissociation, freeze responses, or emotional numbing—who have sufficient stabilization and internal resources to engage safely in trauma processing

For clients with complex PTSD or significant dissociation, adjunct EMDR works best when integrated closely with the primary therapy relationship. This ensures continuity, safety, and careful pacing tailored to the client’s unique needs.

What Does Certified Mean?

EMDR-trained therapists have completed a foundational training in the model. Certified EMDR Therapists, like myself, have gone further—completing:

  • At least 20 hours of consultation with an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant

  • Over 50 EMDR sessions with clients

  • Ongoing education and advanced training in complex trauma, dissociation, and more

This level of training ensures that I can work skillfully and ethically with more complex presentations.

Additionally, as a Certified EMDR Therapist experienced in complex PTSD and dissociation, I prioritize careful assessment and preparation. I collaborate closely with therapists to determine when adjunct EMDR fits best, always keeping client safety and therapeutic continuity at the forefront.


FAQs

How do I introduce adjunct EMDR to my client? You might explain it as a short-term collaboration focused on a specific goal or trauma, with the intention of strengthening the work you're already doing together.

Will EMDR open up more than my client is ready for? Not if we pace it right. I prioritize preparation and safety, especially when working with complex trauma or dissociation. If your client isn’t ready for processing, I’ll focus on resourcing and stabilization.

Will I still be the primary therapist? Yes. This is a time-limited adjunct—not a transfer of care. I’ll stay in contact with you and your client will return to your ongoing work together.

How do we begin? Just reach out using the contact form below, and we’ll set up a quick call to see if this is the right fit.
