Adjunct therapy is treatment provided in addition to the therapy that a client receives from their primary therapist. The client continues working with their primary therapist, and this therapist collaborates with me, so that I am providing just the EMDR treatment (or in some cases just therapeutic/trauma-focused yoga), while the primary therapist supports continued stabilization, and aftercare.
Clients receive intensive EMDR therapy in longer blocks of time than the current traditional model of therapy. Intensives are often scheduled over the course of 1-4 consecutive days of treatment, for 3-6 hours per day. Clients who live locally can schedule intermittent blocks of time if we determine that doing so is clinically appropriate.
Insurance does not currently pay for intensives. People who have a sexual assault history may be able to use VCAP; if the crime occurred in Pennsylvania, you do not need to have reported the crime to be eligible for VCAP funds.

Paula offers in person adjunct EMDR Intensive Treatment in the Charleston, SC area. At this time, Paula travels to Charleston quarterly. Intensive clients can do their preparatory and follow up therapy work with Paula virtually.
In compliance with the "No Surprises Act" intended to inform healthcare recipient of what they will be charged annually for healthcare services, therapists must provide each client with a "Good Faith Estimate." As psychotherapy differs from many medical treatments, in that a client's needs change over time, and insurance coverages differs from person to persion, I am able to provide a very general estimate based on hourly/weekly sessions at my self pay rate. Should you wish for my help in estimating your annual psychotherapy costs based on a different form of service delivery, I will be happy to answer any questions and update your GFE accordingly. Here is the general Good Faith Estimate.
