What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a powerful, brain and body-based therapy that helps people process trauma, grief, anxiety, and other overwhelming emotions and experiences at a deeper level than traditional talk therapy. It works by identifying and working with brainspots, eye positions that correlate with unresolved emotional experiences, allowing your brain and body to process what’s been stored beneath the surface. We often find that people are unfamiliar with Brainspotting, but it’s actually been around for over 20 years now! Brainspotting can be especially effective for:

  • Unresolved trauma that still impacts your daily life

  • Significant grief and loss that feels too big to move through

  • Anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm that won’t seem to ease

  • Chronic pain or somatic symptoms linked to emotional experiences

  • Creative and performance blocks that are holding you back

  • Work-related injuries that create continued distress or inability to return to work such as on-the-job assaults, driving accidents, witnessing others being injured or harmed, or vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue. For this reason, our Brainspotting services are popular with teachers, nurses, therapists, and first responders.

Our Brainspotting Therapy Options

We know that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why we offer several in-person Brainspotting options to meet your needs:

Weekly Brainspotting Therapy
(Covered by Insurance, 53-60 minutes)

If you’re looking for ongoing Brainspotting therapy to work through challenges at a steady pace, weekly sessions may be a great fit. These sessions are covered by insurance, making them an accessible option for those looking to integrate Brainspotting into their regular mental health care.

Extended Brainspotting Sessions (Private Pay, 2 Hours)

Sometimes, one hour just isn’t enough. Our extended two-hour Brainspotting sessions give you the time and space to go deeper, making them ideal for those who want to make more progress in fewer sessions. These are private pay sessions and are perfect for individuals ready for a more intensive processing experience.

Brainspotting Intensives (Private Pay, 1-3 Days)

For those facing significant trauma, grief, or a life event that requires deeper attention, a Brainspotting Intensive offers focused, accelerated processing to work through specific issues and give them the attention they deserve (and sometimes demand). These one to three-day intensives allow you to do deep, focused work with the full support of an experienced Certified Brainspotting Consultant. Melissa Wesner, LCPC is not only a Certified Brainspotter but also a Brainspotting Consultant with years of experience helping clients experience profound transformation through Brainspotting work.
