Most likely, but it’s important to reach out to your provider to make sure they will be working within their scope of practice with what you would like to work on. In some cases, we may need to refer you to another provider.
Brainspotting locates points in your visual field to help to access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. Where you look affects how you feel. Depending on your eye position, your body will show us where it’s activated and that is where the trauma is stored in the body. In brainspotting, we are discharging the trauma out of the central nervous system. For more information, click here
Many providers charge a no show or late cancel fee when a session is missed. Usually it’s the same cost as a self-pay session. Therapy is different from many other industries in the sense that one hour is held and reserved specifically for you, and only you. When the client doesn’t show up, that’s an hour that the provider has lost. Usually there are clients on a waiting list to be seen, and when there is a no show, it’s too late to offer that time slot to someone else. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact your provider.
You can prepare for your first session by completing the intake paperwork provided upon scheduling. You will receive an email with login instructions to your secure client portal. Please complete the intake paperwork within 48 hours of scheduling your first appointment. This will help you reflect on what you’d like to work on and it also allows us to get to know each other in session, instead of time spent answering questions.
