In our initial session, we will begin with brief introductions before delving into the specific challenges you are currently facing.

Brainspotting is a powerful, evidence-based therapeutic technique designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. It works by identifying specific "brainspots" — points in the visual field that are connected to distressing memories or emotions. By focusing on these spots while engaging in guided therapy, clients can access deep brain processing to release stored trauma, reduce emotional pain, and promote healing. Brainspotting is often described as a gentle, effective approach that can lead to lasting changes in how clients manage stress, emotions, and past trauma.

Beth is very easy to talk to and I have felt very comfortable in all of my sessions with her. She does a great job of keeping me in a positive and solution-oriented mindset, while also allowing me to vent and share my earnest feelings about the various aspects of my life.
