Brainspotting for Richmond Residents
Richmond's vibrant community has access to experienced brainspotting therapists throughout the East Bay. Brainspotting is a powerful, body-centered therapy that helps process trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, and life challenges at their neurological root.
This therapy doesn't require you to extensively talk about painful experiences. Instead, through specific eye positions and focused mindfulness, your brain naturally processes and releases stored trauma.
