Brainspotting is a powerful therapy that integrates mind and body to help identify, process, and release emotional stress, psychological distress, and trauma. Rooted in the idea that “where you look affects how you feel,” Brainspotting uses specific eye positions, called brain spots, to access unprocessed trauma, emotional pain, and deeply stored memories in the brain and nervous system.

This somatic and neurologically-informed therapy can be effective for a wide range of mental health concerns, including:

• Anxiety and panic attacks

• Depression and mood disorders

• Post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and complex trauma

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Grief and loss

• Addictions and compulsions

• Phobias and fears

• Chronic stress and burnout

• Performance anxiety and creative blocks

Brainspotting is similar to EMDR in that it supports the brain’s natural ability to heal, rewire neural pathways, and restore emotional regulation. It’s particularly helpful for clients who feel “stuck,” overwhelmed, or disconnected from talk therapy alone.
