Brainspotting therapy in houston

Hi, I’m Kristin, a brainspotting therapist!

If you’ve been carrying invisible weight for years—stress, anxiety, trauma, or just the constant emotional load of motherhood—you may feel like you’re stuck in patterns you can’t think or talk your way out of.

Maybe you’ve tried traditional talk therapy. Maybe you’re exhausted from doing all the things and still feeling like you’re on edge.

Brainspotting therapy offers a new path.
It’s a body-based, brain-focused method that helps you access and release what’s been stored deep in your nervous system—without needing to explain it all.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, burnout, or emotional triggers that seem to come out of nowhere, Brainspotting can help you finally move forward.

What Can Brainspotting help?

Brainspotting is a highly effective, neuroscience-informed therapy that helps identify, process, and release emotional pain that’s been stuck in the body.

It’s especially powerful for moms who feel emotionally overwhelmed but can’t always pinpoint why—and for those who feel like they’ve hit a wall in traditional therapy.

Brainspotting therapy may help you if:

  • You experience anxiety, panic, or chronic worry

  • You feel emotionally reactive or overstimulated on a daily basis

  • You’ve been through trauma—whether obvious or subtle

  • You feel numb, disconnected, or burned out

  • You carry perfectionism, people-pleasing, or hyper-independence

  • You’ve done talk therapy but still feel stuck in old emotional loops

  • You want to feel more calm, grounded, and present in motherhood

Brainspotting is also a powerful complement to EMDR and other trauma therapies. It allows us to work with the body’s memory of an experience, even if your brain doesn’t have all the words.

My approach to Brainspotting therapy

You don’t have to have all the answers—or even know where to begin.
You bring what feels heavy, and we go from there.

In our work together, we’ll identify something you’d like to shift—an emotion, a body sensation, a triggering situation, or a memory that won’t seem to let go. Then, I’ll guide you through a process of locating your “brainspot,” which is an eye position connected to that stored experience.

From there, the magic happens.

While you hold your gaze on that spot, your brain and body begin to process, unwind, and release what’s been stuck—without you needing to talk through every detail.

Every session looks a little different. Some clients speak a lot. Others are quiet. Some cry, some laugh, some feel a deep sense of calm. All of it is valid.

Here’s what Brainspotting therapy looks like in session:

  • We explore a current emotional struggle or area of stuckness

  • I help you identify a related eye position that connects to it

  • You focus your gaze while staying attuned to thoughts, sensations, or feelings that arise

  • I hold space and guide you gently while your nervous system does the healing work

This process is client-led and trauma-informed. You’re always in control, and we go at your pace.

Over time, Brainspotting can help you:

  • Release stored trauma and chronic tension

  • Shift emotional reactivity and feel more grounded

  • Stop snapping at your kids and start responding with more patience

  • Break free from perfectionism and inner pressure

  • Sleep better, think more clearly, and finally exhale

  • Reconnect with who you are—not just who everyone needs you to be

If you’ve felt like your nervous system is constantly in fight, flight, or freeze mode, Brainspotting can help bring you back into balance—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

  • Brainspotting is effective for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, chronic pain, and even performance enhancement for athletes and artists.

  • In a session, you’ll sit with your therapist as they help you identify a "brainspot" by guiding your gaze while you focus on specific emotions or memories. The therapist may also use bilateral sound to help facilitate processing.
