Brainspotting Therapy in Northview, Grand Rapids
Some reactions show up in the same places every week in Northview. Maybe your body tenses on East Beltline before you turn onto 4 Mile, or you feel a rush of nerves in a parking lot at Knapp’s Corner. In our work, we use those real moments as anchors so change carries into daily life.
I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner. Sessions are paced to feel safe and steady. We set a clear stop signal, keep check ins brief, and end with simple resets you can use after school pickup, before a commute, or on a quiet evening near 5 Mile.
How Brainspotting Can Help
Calm spikes that show up on familiar routes like East Beltline and 4 Mile
Loosen reactions tied to specific places such as store aisles, lots, or school lines.
Improve sleep and focus with short practices you can repeat at home in Northview.
Pair deeper work with practical routines so gains stick between sessions.
Track progress with small markers you will notice during an ordinary week.
My Approach
We begin with a brief check in, then choose one thing that actually shows up in Northview life, like a spike before turning onto East Beltline or tension in a lot near Knapp’s Corner. I help you find a visual focus that connects with that reaction and we set a clear pause signal.
You notice what your body does while I track pace and keep it tolerable. You can talk a little or stay quiet. We close with a simple grounding you can use right away, for example a short reset before driving or a quick body scan after errands, so progress carries into your week.

Do I need to talk about my trauma in detail for brainspotting to work
No. You can describe as much or as little as you want. We anchor to body cues and a visual focus. Your system processes at a pace that feels safe.
