Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapeutic approach developed by Dr. David Grand, designed to help individuals access and heal the deeper roots of trauma, stress, and emotional pain. It works by identifying specific eye positions—called brainspots—that connect to where experiences and emotions are held in the brain and body. Brainspotting can be effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, attachment wounds, chronic stress, and performance blocks. It is especially helpful for individuals who have experienced complex, developmental, or intergenerational trauma. This approach honors the body’s wisdom and recognizes that healing happens when we feel seen, supported, and empowered. You are always in control of the process, and therapy moves at a pace that feels right for you. What is EMDR? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy developed by Dr. Francine Shapiro to help individuals heal from distressing or traumatic experiences that continue to impact emotional well-being, relationships, and daily life. EMDR is grounded in the understanding that when trauma or overwhelming stress occurs, the brain’s natural ability to process experiences can become disrupted, leaving memories “stuck” in the nervous system. EMDR can be effective for trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, attachment wounds, and other stress-related concerns. It is widely used with children, adolescents, and adults and is recognized by leading mental health organizations as a best-practice treatment for trauma. EMDR honors the brain and body’s innate capacity to heal when provided with the right structure, attunement, and compassionate support.
