Therapy Designed for Survivors
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is an evidence-informed therapy that helps individuals access, process, and release deeply held trauma stored in the brain and body. By identifying specific “brainspots” connected to traumatic memories, a trained therapist guides clients in processing these experiences safely and effectively.
Brainspotting & Healing
Integrating Evidence-Based and Culturally Grounded Approaches
For survivors of violence and those with complex trauma histories, Brainspotting can reduce the intensity of painful memories, alleviate anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and support long-term healing.
How it works:
Brainspotting invites you to connect to your body and the memories and sensations of stress, anxiety, depression, and grief that hold you back from living fully. It is powerful approach that helps survivors reconnect with their resilience and inner strengths.
During a session, a trained therapist uses a pointer or specific visual focus to guide the client’s gaze, helping the brain locate “spots” where unresolved trauma is stored. By maintaining awareness of these points, the brain can process and release stuck emotions, regulate the nervous system, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and other trauma-related conditions. Brainspotting works in harmony with other therapies, offering a gentle yet powerful way to support healing, resilience, and overall emotional well-being.
