Deepen Your Healing Journey with Adjunct EMDR in NJ & PA
When keeping your primary therapist is important.
You already have a therapist that you feel comfortable with and even though you’re feeling stuck in certain areas you don’t want to stop seeing them. Let’s face it, rapport is everything and finding a good fit can be difficult. This is where I come in…literally. You keep working with your trusted primary therapist AND work with me in the recommended intensive format.
I enjoy collaborating with other therapists, not only supporting you but honoring the journey and work you’ve already been doing together. Working in concert with your therapist by briefly adding adjunct EMDR for specific traumatic experiences can help the healing process continue moving forward. Since they know your history and present symptoms and goals, speak with your therapist to see if adjunct EMDR intensives might be a good fit.
With a targeted plan we all work together!
Adjunct EMDR Therapy allows clients to work towards their goals with the support of a specialized treatment team.
-
I will collaborate with the client and the primary therapist to target specific situations, beliefs, or blocks that are impacting their therapeutic work. There is power in numbers and each part of our treatment team will play a special role in helping the client heal.
-
The primary therapist has a specific role in their client’s journey that shouldn’t be replaced. My work with the client can focus on healing those deep wounds that are negatively impacting their life, relationships, and the work with their primary therapist. This allows a client and their primary therapist to continue their work together simply by adding adjunct therapy.
-
Neither one of you has to feel pressured to choose between the restorative relationship you have already established and being able to dig deeper with EMDR Therapy. As the primary therapist you are able to confidently treat concerns within your scope of genius; while a client can truly have the best of both worlds when it comes to transforming their life and relationships.
