In-person in Boise and Virtual across Idaho. Private-pay therapy.
The work centers on identifying a “brainspot” and staying with the internal experience as the nervous system processes and integrates.
-
Brainspotting is often chosen when something feels “stuck” even after insight or traditional talk therapy. It can help access and process experiences held beneath conscious awareness, especially when activation lives in the body more than in words. People often seek this work for trauma, anxiety, performance blocks, persistent emotional patterns, or responses that feel disproportionate to the present moment.
-
Brainspotting is for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, or deeply rooted patterns that haven’t shifted through cognitive approaches alone. It may be supportive for those who feel activated without knowing why, carry strong body responses, or want a focused, brain–body method of processing. Sessions are collaborative and paced with attention to safety and regulation.
-
Brainspotting uses eye position, focused attention, and attuned presence to access and process material stored in the nervous system. Sessions may include periods of quiet noticing, body awareness, and guided support while your system processes at its own pace. You remain in control of depth and timing. The goal is not catharsis, but integration and reduced reactivity over time.
-
Offered within therapy sessions in standard or extended formats. Brainspotting may be integrated with talk therapy, somatic awareness, and regulation practices depending on your needs and readiness. In-person and virtual availability depends on appropriateness and clinical judgment.
Extended sessions available. More Information Here.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting therapy supports adults and teens navigating trauma, anxiety, and chronic nervous system activation. Brainspotting supports the processing of stored survival responses and can help restore nervous system regulation over time. It is a focused brain-body therapy that accesses experiences held beneath conscious awareness. By working with eye position and internal sensation, the process supports integration where words alone may not reach. Sessions are grounded in attunement, pacing, and nervous system safety.
How Brainspotting Helps
Over time, Brainspotting can reduce reactivity, soften trauma responses, and increase your capacity to stay present with emotion and sensation. Many people notice less activation, greater clarity, and a stronger sense of internal steadiness. The work unfolds gradually and follows your system’s readiness.
