Brainspotting Clinical Consultation
Deepen your BSP skills, strengthen your clinical confidence, and refine your technique with individualized consultation from a practitioner trained across all five phases and over a dozen specialized BSP trainings.
Individual or Paired Clinical Consultation
Consultation sessions are a space to discuss cases, deepen your theoretical understanding of Brainspotting, and refine your technique. Whether you are newly trained in BSP or have years of experience, consultation offers dedicated support to grow as a practitioner.
Individual Consultation
One-on-one sessions tailored to your clinical needs. Bring specific cases, questions about setups and technique, or areas where you want to strengthen your conceptual framework and clinical intuition.
Paired Consultation
Two clinicians are welcome to share one hour of consultation. This format enhances learning through peer dialogue and diverse case perspectives, while sharing the cost of the session.
Available to all licensed clinicians in the United States via telehealth.
Where Consultation Helps
When You Feel Stuck
Processing stalls, freeze responses you can’t move through, clients who plateau — consultation helps you see the case from new angles, identify what the nervous system may be communicating, and find a way forward.
Deepening the Neuroexperiential Model
The NEM is reshaping how we understand Brainspotting. Consultation is a space to explore how the model informs your setup choices, your attunement, and the way you conceptualize what is happening in session.
Integrating BSP into Your Practice
Whether you are introducing Brainspotting to clients already in talk therapy, weaving it with IFS or EFT, or learning how to explain the process to new clients, consultation helps you build a seamless, confident integration.
Brainspotting Phases 1–5: What Each Phase Entails
I have completed all five phases of Brainspotting training, the full progression developed by Dr. David Grand.
Phase 1 — Foundation
The entry point into BSP. Covers the neurobiological underpinnings of how eye positions activate midbrain processing, introduces four core techniques (Outside Window, Inside Window, Gazespotting, and Resource Brainspotting), and teaches the activation and resource models that form the backbone of all Brainspotting work.
Phase 2 — Expanding the Frame
Deepens Phase 1 skills and introduces advanced spatial techniques: 3-Dimensional Z-Axis processing, Vergence Therapy, One-Eye Brainspotting, and Rolling Brainspotting. Teaches Frame and Focus diagnosis-driven BSP for more targeted treatment of specific trauma and symptoms.
Phase 3 — Advanced Techniques & Performance
A three-day intensive covering cutting-edge methods not taught in earlier phases: Inside/Outside Brainspotting, DoubleSpotting, Advanced Gazespotting, BrainSweeps, Proximity, and PartSpotting. The final day focuses on BSP for performance and creativity expansion, including Dr. Grand’s Sports Trauma Model and 15 Guidelines for Performance and Creativity.
Phase 4 — Clinical Depth & Innovation
An advanced three-day training featuring in-depth video case analysis with Dr. Grand and three specialized techniques: Dreamspotting (processing through dream material), the Expansion Model, and Bodyspotting (deep somatic processing). Each technique is taught through lecture, live demonstration, and experiential practicum.
Phase 5 — The Neuroexperiential Frontier
The most advanced phase, grounded in Dr. Grand’s Neuroexperiential Model (NEM). Covers Advanced Gazespotting for existential trauma, Attachment Eye Contact Spot and Dosing, Double Pointer with Memory Loss from Head Trauma, Advanced PartSpotting, and innovative methods for finding relevant brainspots. This training represents the cutting edge of BSP practice.
My Brainspotting Training
My training in Brainspotting goes well beyond coursework. I have learned directly from Dr. David Grand and multiple BSP trainers worldwide, been personally brainspotted by Dr. Grand and other specialists across a range of setups, and participated in role-play consultation with Dr. Grand and fellow trainers. This depth of experiential learning — not just studying BSP but being deeply processed in it — shapes how I consult: from the inside out.
Core BSP Training
- Phases 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5
- 3 Brainspotting Masterclasses

Specialized BSP Trainings
Pain, Medical & Somatic Trauma
- Freeze to Thaw Fascial anatomy and freeze response; Bodyspotting setups and movement integration for chronic pain and somatic trauma.
- Freeze to Thaw: The Next Level Three new setups including the Story Arc; relational healing through attuned witnessing rooted in the fascial system.
Growth, Performance & Creativity
- Expansion (Athletes, Artists & Performance) Amplifying positive states, flow, and creativity for performers, athletes, and professionals seeking peak performance.
- Hero’s Journey Narrative therapy with multifocal BSP setup; reframing adversity, dissolving shame, and cultivating post-traumatic growth.
Complex Trauma & Addictions
- Going for the Roots (Developmental Trauma) Differentiating developmental trauma from PTSD; systematically treating six forms of dysregulation rooted in early experience.
- Addictive Behaviors (Substances, Eating, etc.) Processing the emotional pain, attachment wounds, and triggers driving substance use, disordered eating, and compulsive behaviors.
- Moviespotting Processing stuck visual images and anticipatory anxiety tied to intrusive mental pictures of past or upcoming events.
Enhancing Clinical Practice
- Improve Your Intake — Improve Your Outcomes Sharpening the BSP intake to identify precise treatment targets from the first session, setting the foundation for faster, more effective results.
- Clearing Limbic Countertransference Identifying and clearing your own nervous system activation in session so it does not interfere with attunement; using the Dual Attunement Frame and Doublespotting for clinician self-care and burnout prevention.
- Group BSP (with Art Therapy & Guided Visualizations) Group setups where participants’ processing attunes with one another, creating a powerful container for collective healing that extends BSP’s reach to more people.
