Introducing Adjunct EMDR Therapy

by Valentina Dragicevic

As a psychologist, have you ever encountered challenges in addressing persistent trauma symptoms while working with a client? If these issues extend outside your typical area of focus but you know there is still so much you have to offer, I can team with you to provide adjunct EMDR Therapy.

What is Adjunct EMDR Therapy?

At times, psychologists not trained in EMDR Therapy may see clients with trauma-related issues. When this happens, a psychologist can refer their client to an EMDR therapist if they believe EMDR would be beneficial.

Clients, however, may have established a good relationship with their psychologist. They may not want to part ways to receive EMDR therapy from a new practitioner. Something similar can happen to the psychologist. They know their client could benefit from trauma work, but they also realise they have much more to offer to help them in other areas.

To address these challenges, psychologists can refer patients to an EMDR therapist while maintaining their role as the patient’s primary psychologist. Often, clients also feel safer and more comfortable if they can receive EMDR therapy from a new psychologist while continuing to work with their primary psychologist. This process is called Adjunctive EMDR Therapy.

Discover the Power of Adjunct EMDR Therapy

I believe in a dynamic therapeutic collaboration. Picture yourself, the primary therapist, and me joining you to deliver unparalleled care. Your client, already under your guidance, gains the advantage of addressing specific concerns with the additional skills of an EMDR therapist. Sessions can seamlessly occur concurrently or involve a brief pause in your care while they delve into the focused EMDR intervention.

“I believe when therapists join forces, clients receive the absolute best care. Let’s enhance the way we serve our clients by working together”.

How does Adjunct EMDR Therapy work?

You and I collaborate to craft a personalised treatment plan for your client. With your client’s consent, you can coordinate schedules that suit their needs and preferences. Once the agreed-upon Adjunct EMDR Therapy timeframe concludes, the client returns exclusively to your care.

Why is Adjunct EMDR helpful to clients and clinicians?

Adjunct EMDR Therapy creates a treatment team based on multiple strengths and areas of expertise and experience. While I can offer trauma therapy, I have not developed extensive knowledge in certain areas such as eating disorders. Partnering with other therapists can be very valuable to both psychologists and their clients to get the very best care for all the complexities they are dealing with. We can serve our clients better when we work together.

My name is Valentina. I am a Clinical Psychologist who is passionate about utilising the powerful benefits of EMDR Therapy and Schema Therapy with clients who are ready to feel better faster. I also team up with other psychologists to provide Adjunct EMDR Therapy to their clients.
