Where you look changes what you feel.
Brainspotting is a focused mindfulness approach that helps your brain process what talking alone hasn’t reached. We offer it virtually, one session at a time.
The Method
A brain-based way to process what words can’t fully reach.
Brainspotting was developed by Dr. David Grand to work with the brain more directly than talk therapy alone can. Rather than asking you to explain or re-explain a painful experience, it uses specific eye positions — called Brainspots — that correspond to where emotional and physical pain is held in the brain.
When we help you locate and hold gently on one of these spots, your brain’s own processing system takes over. Many people describe it as healing that happens underneath language, without needing to retell the story in detail to move through it.
Because it reaches the subcortical brain — the region responsible for emotion, memory, and survival responses — Brainspotting is especially suited to trauma, anxiety, and patterns that have felt stuck no matter how much they’ve been talked through.
Developed by Dr. David Grand, LCSW · practiced by Lisa in a virtual, one-on-one setting.
A Brainspot is a fixed eye position that correlates with an unresolved emotional or somatic experience. Holding attention there, gently and without effort, is often enough to let the brain begin its own release.
How a Brainspotting Session Unfolds
Every session is guided at your pace. There’s nothing to perform and nothing you’re required to disclose in detail.
Find where it lives
We help you notice where an emotion or memory shows up in your body, then locate the eye position — the Brainspot — connected to it.
Hold, don’t push
You rest your gaze gently on that spot while staying present with whatever arises. We stay attuned throughout, without directing the content.
Let it settle
Your brain does the processing. Most people leave sessions feeling lighter, calmer, and clearer — often without needing to say much at all.
Who It Is For
Especially effective for what’s felt hard to shift.
Trauma & PTSD — Processing distressing memories without needing to relive them in detail.
Anxiety — Working with the survival-level patterns that keep the nervous system on alert.
Stuck patterns — Longstanding reactions or beliefs that talk therapy alone hasn’t fully resolved.
Grief & loss — Making room for emotion to move rather than stay held in the body.
Performance & creative blocks — Clearing the internal noise that gets in the way of focus and flow.
Chronic stress — Supporting a nervous system that’s been running in a heightened state.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to talk about the details of what happened?
No. Brainspotting doesn’t require you to retell a painful experience in detail. Your brain can process the material while you focus on the physical sensation and the Brainspot itself.
Is Brainspotting only for trauma?
Trauma is where it’s most researched, but we also use it for anxiety, grief, chronic stress, and patterns that have felt resistant to change.
Does virtual Brainspotting work as well as in-person?
Yes. Because the method centers on eye position and focused attention, it adapts well to video sessions, and it’s the only format we currently offer for this work.
Ready to let your brain do what talking alone couldn’t?
Virtual Brainspotting sessions are now open for adult clients.
