Consultation Services for Therapists
If you’ve made your way to this page, my guess is that you’ve completed Phase 1 Brainspotting Training. If that’s the case, congratulations!
At this point, you might be looking for consultation, so you can begin implementing your new Brainspotting skills with clients, or so you can begin the process of getting Certified in Brainspotting. In either case, I’m glad you’re here, and I’m happy to help!
Meet Melissa Wesner, LCPC, Certified Brainspotter
I’ve been doing Brainspotting for a number of years now, so I’m familiar with the questions that often come up as you begin integrating this new modality like:
“How do I introduce Brainspotting to my clients?”
“Am I doing this right?”
You might also be running into questions now that you’ve done Brainspotting with clients a few times. After all, the things that come up in Brainspotting sessions can be very different from the things that come up in traditional talk therapy sessions.
You might wonder:
“Why is my client moving while Brainspotting?”
“How do I do Brainspotting with a client who is having a hard time focusing or getting activated?”
“How do I make sure my client is good to go at the end of the session?”
“What length of time should my Brainspotting sessions be?”
These questions are quite common, and I’ve got you covered!
If you’re here for Brainspotting consultation for Certification, we’ll make sure you understand the criteria for becoming Certified. During consultation, we’ll do case consultation for your Brainspotting clients, and we’ll make sure that you are familiar with the concepts that you need to know to become a Certified Brainspotter.
Does this sound like what you’re looking for?
