For referring therapists · EMDR + IFS

For what feels stuck.
Focused EMDR + IFS, alongside ongoing therapy.

Focused trauma reprocessing for clients who already have a therapist. Your client keeps seeing you as usual, and works with me separately on one stuck point.

How it works

A specialty referral, not a transfer.

1

You pass it along

You notice a stuck point that seems ready for direct work: a memory, attachment wound, freeze response, or recurring activation. Share my page with your client.

2

They work with me

Your client books a free consult call directly. Then an intake to choose the target, and 90-minute EMDR/IFS sessions at their pace.

3

Your work continues

Your client keeps seeing you as usual. Reprocessing is a separate, time-limited piece of work alongside it.

Length depends on the client. A single incident may move quickly; layered or relational trauma may take longer. We'll talk about what to expect at the consult.

Fit

Who tends to do well here.

Good fit

  • You've built safety and some stabilization together
  • They understand it cognitively but still react as if the danger is present
  • Protectors keep interrupting trauma work in your current frame
  • They'd benefit from longer sessions and a narrow focus

Probably not yet

  • Acute crisis, or needs a higher level of care
  • Needs a new primary therapist
  • Needs substantial stabilization first
  • Active psychosis, mania, or early or unstable substance-use recovery

Not sure? Your client can book a free consult call, and we'll figure out fit together.

Your part

How it works.

  • Your client keeps meeting with you as usual
  • They contact, schedule, and pay me directly
  • No coordination between us is needed unless, with client consent, we decide a tx plan consult would be beneficial.

For your own work

Therapists are welcome as clients, too.

You know the theory. You can map your own patterns in your sleep. And some of them still run the show. Reprocessing is a place to do your own work, with someone who understands both seats.

Same format and fees as above. As with all reprocessing work, you'll want ongoing support in place, like your own therapist.
