Work with Lisa to get Evaluated for an Emotional Support Animal

Advanced Trauma Processing Approaches

Lisa is certified in Brainspotting and Progressive Counting, and has completed EMDR Levels 1 and 2. These brain-based trauma therapies are designed to go beyond talk therapy, reaching the deeper parts of the brain and nervous system where trauma is often stored.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a powerful, neuro-experiential therapy that uses fixed eye positions to access trauma held in the subcortical brain. It allows clients to connect directly with the body’s memory networks, making it effective for trauma, anxiety, performance blocks, and even physical symptoms connected to emotional distress.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is one of the most researched trauma treatments in the world. It uses gentle bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to help the brain reprocess and integrate painful memories. This process reduces emotional intensity and supports clients in feeling less “stuck” in the past.

Progressive Counting

Progressive Counting is a structured trauma therapy where clients gradually visualize distressing memories while counting. This method helps the brain resolve painful experiences step by step, creating space for emotional relief, resilience, and clarity.

Why Brain-Based Therapies Work

These approaches are different because they target the brain’s natural healing pathways. Trauma often lingers not because someone is unwilling to heal, but because the nervous system hasn’t been able to fully process the experience. By working with the body and brain together, real change becomes possible.

Coaching Applications of Brainspotting

Beyond therapy, Lisa also uses Brainspotting in a life coaching capacity. In this setting, Brainspotting helps clients move past emotional blocks, gain clarity, and step into greater self-leadership. It’s especially valuable for high-achieving professionals, creatives, and executives who feel “stuck” despite external success.

A Global Option

Because Brainspotting in coaching form is not tied to clinical licensure, Lisa is able to work with individuals anywhere in the world. This opens the door for clients outside her licensed states to still benefit from her expertise in a safe, non-clinical coaching relationship.

Who Benefits from Coaching with Brainspotting

Coaching clients often include entrepreneurs, performers, and leaders who want to improve focus, reduce performance anxiety, or tap into deeper creativity. It’s also helpful for anyone seeking emotional clarity or wanting to feel more aligned with their goals.

Compassionate, Grounded Care

Whether in therapy or coaching, Lisa’s approach is always compassionate and grounded. She believes in creating a safe, steady space where clients can explore, process, and grow without pressure. Every session is guided by both clinical training and genuine care for the person in front of her.

Moving Toward Healing and Growth

Lisa’s specialization in these advanced modalities reflects her commitment to offering clients more than surface-level support. With Brainspotting, EMDR, and Progressive Counting, she helps people move from simply coping to truly healing — opening the door to lasting change, greater resilience, and a fuller sense of self.
