Brainspotting

“Where you look affects how you feel.”
— Dr. David Grand, Founder of Brainspotting

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that helps people process and release trauma, emotional pain, and deeply held negative beliefs. It works by accessing the parts of the brain where distress is stored—often beyond our conscious awareness—so true healing can begin.

How Does Brainspotting Help?

Brainspotting can be especially effective for:

Trauma and PTSD
Grief and complicated loss
Childhood neglect or abuse
Anxiety and panic
Depression
Chronic pain or tension
Performance blocks (creative, academic, athletic)
Attachment wounds

Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting works from the bottom up—engaging the body and subcortical brain. This allows for a deeper, more integrative healing experience that can create lasting change. Because Brainspotting accesses the part of the brain that holds trauma, it bypasses traditional talk therapy routes and helps you process at a deeper, more somatic level. Many clients report feeling lighter, more connected to themselves, and able to move forward in areas where they once felt stuck.

A Gentle Yet Powerful Approach

Brainspotting is client-centered, meaning you set the pace. Sessions are grounded in safety, mindfulness, and attunement to your nervous system. Whether you're new to therapy or have been in the healing process for a while, Brainspotting offers a unique opportunity to connect with yourself on a deeper level—emotionally, physically, and neurologically.

Why Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is especially useful when:

You’ve tried talk therapy but still feel stuck
You experience strong emotional or physical reactions you don’t understand
You want to address trauma without reliving the full memory
You feel disconnected from your body or emotions
You’re ready for deeper, more integrative healing

Because it works with the subcortical brain (the part responsible for trauma storage, emotions, and body regulation), Brainspotting creates a pathway to healing from the inside out.

Is Brainspotting Right for Me?

If you’re curious about a body-based, trauma-informed therapy that doesn’t require over-explaining your story, Brainspotting may be a powerful tool in your healing journey. Whether you’re addressing recent stress or lifelong trauma, Brainspotting offers a compassionate and neurologically-attuned approach to growth and recovery.
