About Brainspotting Services

At Onward Counseling, I provide Brainspotting Therapy as a gentle yet powerful way to process trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. This evidence-based approach works by identifying specific eye positions, or “brain spots,” that connect to deep areas of the brain and body where stress and trauma are stored. By accessing these points in a safe and supportive environment, Brainspotting helps you unlock stuck emotions, release unresolved experiences, and heal from the inside out, even when you do not have the words to explain what is wrong.

Brainspotting can be especially effective for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to move past certain events. It offers a direct path to clarity, resilience, and lasting emotional relief, helping you move forward with greater calm and balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Brainspotting therapy?

Brainspotting is a focused therapy method that helps the brain and body process unresolved trauma, stress, and emotional pain by identifying eye positions linked to stored experiences.

How is Brainspotting different from traditional talk therapy?

While talk therapy focuses on conversation and reflection, Brainspotting works directly with the brain-body connection to access deeper emotional healing, often reaching areas that words alone can’t.

What issues can Brainspotting help with?

Brainspotting can be effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, performance blocks, and other challenges where people feel stuck or emotionally overwhelmed.

What happens during a Brainspotting session?

In a session, your therapist guides you to find a specific eye position, or “brain spot,” connected to your emotional experience. With gentle support, you process and release emotions at your own pace.

How many sessions does it take to notice results?

Every person’s healing journey is unique, but many clients begin to notice positive changes within the first few sessions, with deeper progress continuing over time.
