Therapy Specialty FAQs

Quick answers about brainspotting therapy, biofeedback therapy, trauma therapy, and nutritional counseling.

Brainspotting is a trauma therapy that uses where you look to locate points in your visual field linked to unprocessed experiences. With a therapist guiding you, your brain can process trauma below conscious thought, without retelling the story again and again. Learn more about brainspotting therapy.

Biofeedback therapy gives you real-time feedback on your body, such as heart rhythm and stress responses, so you can learn to regulate them. We offer Quantum Biofeedback (SCIO) and HeartMath training. Learn more about biofeedback therapy.

HeartMath uses guided, heart-focused breathing with heart rhythm feedback to help you practice a calmer, steadier state. It is often used alongside counseling for stress and anxiety. Explore HeartMath.

Brainspotting is our core trauma therapy, and it can be paired with biofeedback to calm the nervous system. Book with Debra Nelson or request an appointment and we will help you choose.

Dr. Gary Johnson, DC, DCBCN, a board-certified clinical nutritionist and certified biofeedback specialist, provides our nutritional counseling. Meet Dr. Johnson.
