Brainspotting Therapy for Therapists
Yoko Hisano, MA, MSW, LICSW
A space for therapists to regulate their nervous systems and show up fully with their clients.
Think more clearly. Work more sustainably.
Brainspotting therapy for therapists offers a supportive space to slow down and regulate—especially when clinical work feels stuck, complex, or emotionally heavy.
By working directly with your nervous system, this approach helps ease cumulative stress and burnout, so you can return to your work with greater clarity, steadiness, and presence.
A Somatic, Relational Approach That Supports You From the Inside Out
Brainspotting therapy offers therapists a direct way to regulate their own nervous systems while holding complex clinical work. Drawing from somatic psychotherapy, an intersectional lens, psychodynamic theory, and my training as a Certified Brainspotting Therapist, this work supports you in noticing how pacing, attunement, countertransference, and ethical decision-making live in your body—not just in your thinking.
Rather than rushing toward solutions, we slow the process down so your system can settle. From this place, clinical intuition, clarity, and confidence can emerge naturally, without forcing or overriding yourself.
This approach is especially supportive for therapists who feel depleted or burned out and want to continue working with trauma and complexity in a way that is sustainable, embodied, and aligned with their values.
A BIPOC-informed, Intersectional Lens
As an Asian American therapist, I hold this work with care for how culture, race, power, and lived experience shape both our nervous systems and our clinical relationships.
My background in International Education and intercultural facilitation informs a stance of humility, curiosity, and respect for complexity—rather than cultural expertise. In this therapeutic space, personal and professional material is held within cultural and systemic context, without pathologizing identity or bypassing lived realities.
This space may feel especially supportive for BIPOC therapists and clinicians working across cultural differences who want a place to tend to themselves—so they can continue their work with clarity, integrity, and care.
Who This Brainspotting Therapy is For
This is designed for:
Therapists seeking Brainspotting therapy or curious about experiencing it as a client
Therapists working with trauma, attachment, or relational complexity
Therapists feeling burned out, emotionally taxed, or stretched thin
Clinicians wanting a reflective, non-evaluative space to support themselves and their work
Why I Offer Brainspotting Therapy for Therapists
I deeply value creating dedicated therapeutic spaces for those who hold care for others. Supporting therapists in tending to their own nervous systems is one of the ways I contribute to the wellbeing of the larger community.
When therapists have a place to slow down, process, and restore, they are better able to show up with presence, integrity, and care — not by pushing through, but by being supported themselves.

Experiencing Brainspotting from the Client’s Side
Sessions may also include your own experiential exploration of Brainspotting as a modality. For therapists who are trained in—or curious about—Brainspotting, this offers an opportunity to experience the work from the client’s side, supporting both personal regulation and a deeper, embodied understanding of the model.
As a participant in the Brainspotting Consultant-in-Training process, I am deeply aware of how strongly this modality emphasizes therapists receiving their own Brainspotting therapy. This work reflects that value—honoring the belief that sustainable, ethical practice grows from lived experience, nervous system regulation, and being held in the process.
An invitation
If you’re a therapist looking for a place to think more deeply, strengthen your clinical presence, and work with trauma in a way that honors both your clients and yourself, you’re warmly invited.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
