Brainspoting Therapy
A brain and body-based approach to healing stress, trauma, and overwhelm. Virtual Brainspotting Therapy Available across Massachusetts
Healing happens from inside out
Sometimes what we carry lives deeper than words.
Brainspotting helps your body process what words can’t reach — gently and at your own pace.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a gentle, brain and body-based therapy that works with your nervous system — not just your thoughts.
By focusing on specific eye positions connected to stored stress or trauma, your brain and body can begin to process what’s been held beneath the surface.
Rather than analyzing the story, we listen to where the experience lives in your body — allowing healing to unfold naturally.
“Where you look affects how you feel”
Dr. David Grand
What happens in a session?
We start by noticing what feels most present for you.
I gently guide your attention to a “brainspot” — an eye position linked to what you’re feeling in your body.
As you hold your gaze, we slow down and observe what unfolds in your body, emotions, or thoughts.
There’s no pressure to perform or explain anything perfectly. Your inner system leads the pace.
Many people leave feeling calmer, more grounded, and lighter.
If you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed, Brainspotting may help your system release what’s been holding.
You may find Brainspotting helpful if you’re ready to:
Release emotional trauma, cultural stress, or life experiences that keep you feeling stuck
Ease physical tension and body-based symptoms connected to past experiences
Feel more grounded, present, and connected to your body, emotions, and inner world
Reduce overwhelming anxiety, perfectionism, or chronic stress held in the nervous system
Process memories, images, or feelings that are difficult to put into words
Reclaim a sense of wholeness and create space for lasting change
Rooted in the neuroexperiential model, Brainspotting invites gentle awareness of the body and brain, allowing healing to unfold without force or analysis.
This evidence-based, nervous-system–focused approach supports regulation, emotional processing, and integration—while honoring your lived experience, cultural context, and whole, intersectional self.
