Brainspotting Therapy
Meet Kimberly

During a BSP session, we talk briefly about what you want support with that day, then we locate a brainspot using your visual field. You simply look at a specific point while noticing whatever comes up inside your mind and body. I stay attuned and present, guiding you gently and helping your nervous system stay regulated. You do not need to force anything or retell difficult details.

No. You can talk as much or as little as you want. Some clients speak throughout the session, and others stay quiet and process internally. Both styles work well. BSP does not require detailed storytelling or going through every memory.

Yes. BSP is designed with nervous system safety in mind. You set the pace. We focus on stabilization, grounding, and attunement first. You do not have to relive or retell traumatic memories for BSP to be effective.

Yes. BSP works with the body and the nervous system, which hold experiences even when the mind does not have clear memories. This includes early childhood, pre verbal experiences, and in utero stress.

You might feel emotional, calm, quiet, tired, relieved, or lighter. Each client experiences BSP differently. My role is to help you stay regulated and grounded throughout the process.

Preparation is simple. It can help to:

• Wear comfortable clothing

• Bring water

• Plan time for a calm transition after the session when possible

• Bring any concerns or goals to discuss at the start

You do not need to prepare a story or narrative ahead of time.

BSP is used for trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, emotional regulation, grief, performance enhancement, somatic tension, identity work, and early or intergenerational trauma patterns. It can also help clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed in talk therapy alone.

Yes. BSP can be adapted for children and teens using developmentally appropriate tools. It works well for emotional regulation, anxiety, trauma, and school or peer stress. Many teens prefer BSP because it does not require a lot of talking.

• 50 minutes: Great for weekly or biweekly work, trauma processing, and paced sessions.

• 75 minutes: Ideal for complex trauma, deeper processing, and clients who need more time to settle.

• 90 minutes: Best for intensive trauma work, layered processing, or clients who want a spacious, immersive experience.

This is an optional shorter BSP session added to the end of your talk therapy appointment. Talk therapy is billed to insurance, and any copays, deductibles, or coinsurance still apply. The BSP add on is a separate 75 dollar out of pocket fee. This option is especially helpful for kids, teens, maintenance work, and gentle weekly regulation.

BSP itself is not covered by insurance. Insurance only covers the talk therapy portion of a session. All BSP sessions and BSP add ons require insurance waiver forms and are billed as out of pocket services.

Every client is different. Some people use BSP for short term support, while others benefit from ongoing work as part of their healing process. We decide this together based on your goals, needs, and nervous system capacity.

Yes. Many clients choose a combination of both. BSP can deepen the work you already do in talk therapy by addressing the nervous system patterns that talking alone does not always reach.
