Adjunct EMDR Therapy in Delray Beach: Is It Right for You?

If you’re already working with a therapist but feel stuck in certain areas—like trauma, anxiety, or emotional regulation—you may benefit from a short-term, focused addition to your care. That’s where adjunct EMDR therapy comes in.

At Bedrock Counseling, we offer adjunct EMDR therapy in Delray Beach to support clients who are already engaged in ongoing talk therapy but need targeted trauma reprocessing. This collaborative model allows you to stay with your current therapist while working with an EMDR specialist to address specific stuck points—so you can move forward with greater ease and momentum.

What Is Adjunct EMDR Therapy?

Adjunct EMDR therapy is a short-term, supplemental form of EMDR treatment provided by an EMDR-trained clinician outside your regular therapy. The goal isn’t to replace your primary therapist—it’s to work alongside them.

In this model, your adjunct EMDR therapist and your primary therapist coordinate care to:

• Identify specific trauma-related targets

• Address nervous system dysregulation

• Process unresolved memories or beliefs

• Support you in returning to your regular therapy with renewed capacity

  
  

It’s ideal for clients who are otherwise making progress but hit emotional blocks that talk therapy alone can’t fully resolve.

Signs You May Benefit from Adjunct EMDR Work

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from this approach. Many high-functioning adults—especially those in Delray Beach's fast-paced, high-achieving culture—do well in therapy but carry hidden emotional burdens that aren’t easily accessed through traditional conversation.

Adjunct EMDR might be right for you if:

• You’re doing well in therapy but keep hitting the same emotional wall

• You want to process trauma that feels too heavy for weekly sessions

• Your therapist has recommended EMDR but doesn’t offer it

• You’re dealing with body-based symptoms of trauma (e.g., shutdown, panic, numbness)

• You need faster results due to an upcoming life transition or stressor

  
  

This format is also a great fit for clients who want to focus on one specific issue—like grief, a childhood memory, or a recent event—without shifting away from the broader work already happening with their primary therapist.

How Adjunct EMDR Therapy Works at Bedrock Counseling

At Bedrock Counseling, our adjunct EMDR model is collaborative, respectful, and personalized. We’re here to support your existing therapy—not compete with it.

Here’s what to expect:

• Initial consult: We meet with you to assess your goals, needs, and readiness for EMDR

• Optional coordination: With your permission, we collaborate with your current therapist

• Customized plan: We create a brief EMDR treatment plan (often 3–10 sessions) based on your goals

• Focused sessions: You’ll attend structured EMDR sessions, either weekly or in an intensive format

• Integration: After treatment, you return to your therapist with updated capacity and emotional clarity

We also offer virtual adjunct EMDR sessions for clients across Florida, and in-person sessions in Delray Beach, depending on your preference and clinical fit.

Why EMDR Adds Value to Ongoing Therapy

Talk therapy builds insight, emotional safety, and coping tools. EMDR works deeper—targeting the unprocessed roots of pain that your nervous system may still be holding onto.

By combining both, you gain the benefits of:

• Relational support with your therapist

• Nervous system reprocessing with a trauma-informed EMDR specialist

• Greater emotional freedom, clarity, and regulation

• A sense of momentum when therapy has stalled

  
  

Adjunct EMDR doesn’t disrupt your current work—it enhances it. And it can create just enough movement to unlock the next phase of healing.

Supporting Your Healing, Not Replacing It

Adjunct EMDR therapy is built on the belief that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Sometimes, healing requires multiple layers of support. At Bedrock Counseling, we offer short-term EMDR therapy in Delray Beach that honors your existing work while helping you move through stuck trauma more efficiently.
