Brainspotting makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the Brainspotting therapist locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. Brainspotting is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship. We believe that Brainspotting taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability. When a Brainspot is stimulated, the deep brain appears to reflexively signal the therapist that the source of the problem has been found. Brainspotting can also be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience. Brainspotting is designed as a therapeutic tool that can be integrated into many of the healing modalities.

Has it been a while since you’ve felt like yourself? Does it feel like something is stuck and you can’t quite figure out how to shift it. You’re struggling to just “move on,” to be happy and feel whole again.
There are these thoughts that seem to come up automatically; past experiences, old programming, and negative self-talk. You suspect they are getting in the way of your well-being, relationships, and the life you truly want to live. They bring grief, anxiety, and numbness, and are wreaking havoc on how you feel about yourself.
Do have old behavior patterns that you can’t shake like shutting down, numbing out, or busts of anger. Does it feel like not matter what you do to change nothing helps?
If traditional talk therapy, self care, meditation … have not seemed to shift your sense of feeling stuck, maybe a Brainspotting Intensive can help.
Brainspotting, a potent form of therapy, taps into your brain and body's natural healing abilities. By focusing on specific eye spots, it targets core issues, guiding you through obstacles to uncover hidden truths. Embarking on a Brainspotting Intensive offers a unique chance to delve deep into your concerns without time constraints. Learn more about Brainspotting therapy .

While the upfront cost may seem high, the efficiency of Intensives saves you time and money compared to prolonged therapy.
Enhance your overall therapy experience by processing more at once, providing a quicker path to transformative results.
In a brainspotting session, we work together to focus on a specific thought, feeling, or behavior that you want to address. We find a brain spot, or eye position, that connects you to a reaction in your mind or body. I'll also look for signs like blinking, swallowing, jaw tightness, or changes in breathing that you might not be aware of.
Once we find the spot, you pay attention to your thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. Some people talk about it, while others stay quiet. People often connect to other memories, feel different sensations, see images, or have changes in how they feel. It's normal to feel some discomfort because we have to "feel it to heal it." I'll be aware of your emotions and guide you through it. Most people feel less stressed by the end.
In brainspotting, unlike regular talk therapy, I won't give as many directions or point out connections you might not see. This helps your brain make its own connections with less interference. After brainspotting, we'll talk about the session and ways to integrate what came up during the Intensives. We’ll then schedule your post-intensive session to further explore your experiences.
-Consultation Call A free 20 minute call where we will talk about what you’re coming in for, what you’re hoping to gain from the intensive, answer any questions you have, and determine if this is a good fit for you.
-Pre-Intensive Session We’ll spend some time getting to know each other and building trust. We’ll gather background information on what you want to work on, clarify your goals, and practice some effective coping skills together. This will occur 1-2 weeks before your intensive.
-Intensive Session On session day, we’ll check in and answering any last minute questions. We’ll then spend 3-4.5 hours processing your concern through Brainspotting and some talk therapy. There will be time for breaks and post session prossessing.
-Post-Intensive Session We’ll schedule a 60-minute follow-up session 1-3 weeks later. During this session, we'll reflect on the shifts and changes you've experienced, identify any remaining work, and discuss strategies to integrate new insights into your life. Together, we'll create a personalized plan to guide your ongoing journey towards healing goals.
