Brainspotting
Heal at the speed of your nervous system.
Find calm, clarity and lasting relief.
When trauma is stored in the body, talking about it isn’t always enough to create healing. Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that helps you process emotional wounds on a deeper level — without needing to relive the story or retell painful details. At Health Allies Counseling, our Brainspotting-trained therapists help adults gently release trauma, resolve emotional blocks, and reconnect with their authentic self.
How will brainspotting help me?
1
What is brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a neurobiological trauma therapy that uses eye positions to access and heal unprocessed emotional material stored in the brain and body.
Rather than focusing on the narrative of what happened, Brainspotting works with the spot in your visual field that connects to the deeper emotional and somatic experience of the trauma. This allows your brain to naturally process and release what has been stuck.
People often describe Brainspotting sessions as deeply calming, grounding, and transformative.
