Deciding to begin therapy is a courageous step. But finding a brainspotting therapist near you who truly resonates with your needs is deeply personal. Therapy is not one size fits all. The connection that you have with your therapist and what you two will work on co-creating is and important part of therapy. You don’t just need a therapist that’s skilled you both need to foster a relationship in which you can adapt to the needs that you have. This will allow you to get the most out of therapy and make the experience feel personalized to fit you. This is one of the reasons why I love doing brainspotting especially, brainspotting intensives.

The brainspotting intensives that I offer are completely personalized. These intensives are shaped around your goals, your pace, and what you’re hoping to shift or heal. Therapy is personal, and your process should reflect that. So as we dive into how brainspotting might be exactly what you are looking for, let’s also talk about how this intensive is laid out to help you have the most access to the healing you’ve been looking for.

Why Personalized Therapy Matters

When you’re looking for a brainspotting therapist near you, it’s important to go beyond credentials. How a therapist works, how they structure sessions, and how you feel in their presence are all vital.

Personalized therapy means that you’re not just receiving a protocol. You’re receiving attuned care. My Brainspotting intensives are rooted in deep listening and adaptability. We start with a 90-minute intake session where we talk through what you want to get out of your intensive. From there, we build a flexible framework. No two clients are the same and therefore no two intensives are the same. Even if the session lengths are similar, what happens in those sessions is completely unique to you.

When you start your intensive we are not only helping you get clearer on what you want to focus on but also discuss how we can facilitate the pacing to work best for you. The intake is just the start of the journey to help you get lingering questions answered, co-create the framework with my guidance and also if you’re new to brainspotting get to try it out.

What Is Brainspotting and How Can It Help?

Brainspotting is a somatic, body-based therapy that targets where trauma and stress are held in the nervous system. Rather than relying solely on talk therapy, brainspotting helps access and release emotional pain, survival patterns, and negative beliefs stored in the body.

In a Brainspotting intensive, we focus on one or two specific goals over a two-day period. You’ll have two three-hour sessions each day. This format is like a mini mental health retreat. Many clients find this approach helps accelerate healing in ways weekly sessions sometimes cannot. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, panic attacks, or creative or emotional blocks, Brainspotting offers a focused and compassionate path forward.

How Brainspotting Intensives Are Personalized

What makes an intensive truly personal comes down to the details. It begins with goal setting, where we focus on what you want to work on, within the scope of my clinical strengths and tools. This helps us figure out if we’re a good match. Another layer of personalization involves the pace. You set how quickly or slowly we move through the sessions, when we take breaks, and how we structure them to best support your process.

Brainspotting intensives are designed to be flexible. Even with a plan in place, we allow space for in-the-moment shifts. If something we thought would be helpful isn’t, we adjust. Everything we do is to create the best conditions for your healing, and to give you full access to the insight and relief you’re seeking.
