Adjunct EMDR Therapy in Cincinnati

Are you currently in therapy but noticing you feel stuck? Do you continue to be affected by your past without seeing much change? You’re doing the work, but the intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, or negative beliefs about yourself still won’t fade. Maybe you already have a therapist you feel comfortable with, and even though you’re not making progress in some areas, you don’t want to stop seeing them. Let’s be honest—finding a therapist you truly connect with is worth its weight in gold.

That’s where we come in. You can keep working with your trusted primary therapist and start EMDR therapy with one of our experienced trauma specialists. We’ll collaborate with your current therapist, ensuring a seamless, supportive experience and the best possible results.

What Is Adjunct EMDR Therapy?

Adjunct EMDR therapy is a goal-specific treatment designed to help you change the way you feel about a past memory or intrusive thought.

Unlike traditional EMDR, where we might work on broader trauma healing, adjunct EMDR focuses on specific blocks or unresolved experiences—the places where your current therapy feels stuck.

Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and use EMDR to help your brain process it safely and effectively, so your ongoing therapy can move forward again.

How Adjunct EMDR Therapy Works

Adjunct EMDR sessions can happen in two ways:

• You can continue meeting with your primary therapist while we focus on EMDR sessions.

• Or, you can take a short break from regular therapy to focus exclusively on EMDR processing.

This approach is short-term and collaborative. We’ll create a focused treatment plan with clear goals, then return you to your primary therapist once the EMDR work is complete.

It’s important to note that adjunct EMDR therapy is not a replacement for your current therapy. It’s an enhancement—a way to help you move past stuck points so your ongoing work with your primary therapist becomes more effective and less overwhelming.

Why Adjunct EMDR Works So Well

Many clients find that EMDR acts like a key that unlocks the part of therapy they’ve been unable to reach. It addresses the root cause of emotional stuckness rather than just the surface symptoms.

Once EMDR helps clear those unresolved memories, clients often notice:

• Faster progress in their ongoing therapy

• Less emotional reactivity

• Fewer intrusive thoughts or nightmares

• Greater clarity and self-compassion

Adjunct EMDR isn’t about starting over—it’s about breaking through.

How We Collaborate with Your Therapist

When you start adjunct EMDR at Therapy Cincinnati, we reach out (with your consent) to your current therapist. Together, we’ll:

• Identify the specific goals for EMDR

• Share progress updates as appropriate

• Ensure both therapies align for your healing

You remain at the center of this process—supported by both therapists working together for your growth.
