Types of Therapy Services Offered

---

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a gentle yet powerful neurobiological treatment for trauma and attachment wounds. Unlike cognitive therapies that rely on thought-based insight, DBR works directly with the brainstem — the area of the brain involved in early emotional responses, relational defense systems, and survival instincts.

At Grace and Healing Psychotherapy, we offer DBR to clients who have experienced early developmental trauma, chronic relational wounds, or complex PTSD that hasn’t fully responded to traditional therapy methods.

DBR helps clients:

• Access the body’s initial orienting response to emotional threat (often unconscious)
• Reduce deep-rooted fear, shutdown, and overwhelm without re-traumatizing the nervous system
• Process the emotional pain and grief held at the core of attachment injuries
• Restore a sense of emotional safety, presence, and embodied connection

DBR is especially well-suited for clients who have experienced preverbal trauma, early abandonment, betrayal trauma, or emotional neglect — including individuals in caregiving, leadership, or performance roles who must remain “on” even when emotionally exhausted.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful, skills-based approach to help clients manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and build stronger, more meaningful relationships. At Grace and Healing Psychotherapy, we use DBT to support clients who feel overwhelmed by emotion or stuck in recurring patterns of distress — often due to unresolved trauma, relational conflict, or a high-pressure lifestyle.

Originally developed for individuals with chronic emotion dysregulation, DBT combines cognitive restructuring with mindfulness and acceptance strategies. Clients learn to:

• Navigate emotional storms with calm and clarity
• Communicate more effectively in relationships
• Set and maintain boundaries
• Reduce self-defeating behaviors like avoidance or emotional reactivity
• Increase resilience and distress tolerance

DBT can be especially helpful for adolescents, adults, and high-profile individuals who struggle to maintain emotional balance while managing significant external demands. We offer individual DBT-informed therapy and can integrate core DBT skills into broader treatment plans.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a clinically proven, brain-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences, emotional wounds, or deeply rooted negative beliefs.

At Grace and Healing Psychotherapy, our trauma-informed clinicians use EMDR to support clients in unlocking stuck memories and reprocessing them in a way that brings resolution and relief. EMDR does not require clients to retell or re-live trauma in detail. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help the brain integrate distressing experiences and reduce their emotional intensity.

EMDR is widely used for:

• PTSD and complex trauma
• Childhood abuse and neglect
• Panic attacks and anxiety
• Grief and loss
• Performance trauma or creative blocks
• Medical trauma and accidents

This method is especially powerful for clients — including public figures and high achievers — who have successfully “pushed through” past pain but still carry its emotional residue.

Brainspotting is a cutting-edge, somatic-based therapy that helps clients access and process trauma, emotional blocks, and performance issues stored deep within the brain and body. It is particularly effective for issues that feel “stuck” even after talk therapy — offering a neurobiological path to deeper healing.

Using eye position and mindful attunement, Brainspotting helps locate and release the physiological roots of emotional pain, often without needing to verbalize traumatic memories. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or integrated with EMDR and other modalities.

Brainspotting is ideal for:

• Trauma and early attachment wounds
• Anxiety and nervous system dysregulation
• Chronic stress, burnout, and somatic symptoms
• Performance enhancement for athletes, artists, and executives
• Creative blocks and perfectionism

At Grace and Healing, Brainspotting is part of our commitment to whole-person healing — combining body-based methods with relational therapy and emotional integration to support lasting transformation.

At Grace and Healing Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the foundational, evidence-based modalities we offer to support clients in reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, managing emotional distress, and making sustainable changes in their daily lives. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients of all ages improve clarity, reduce suffering, and move forward with greater intention and resilience.

CBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply interconnected. When our thinking becomes distorted or negative — often without our awareness — it can quietly shape how we feel and act, keeping us stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or overwhelm.

Using CBT, we help clients identify these automatic, often critical or fear-based thoughts, assess their accuracy, and learn strategies to reframe them in healthier, more realistic ways. This process empowers clients to:

• Develop emotional insight and self-awareness
• Improve emotional regulation and stress management
• Shift limiting beliefs and break unhelpful behavioral cycles
• Build confidence, focus, and decision-making skills

CBT is solution-focused, practical, and typically involves meaningful reflection and structured practices outside of session — making it an appealing option for individuals who value efficient, results-driven therapy.

CBT is highly effective for a wide range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and panic disorders
• Depression and mood disorders
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Eating disorders and body image concerns
• Burnout, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome
• Executive functioning struggles and performance blocks

It’s also a powerful tool for high-achieving and high-profile clients who are navigating intense career pressures, media scrutiny, or demanding performance environments. CBT helps optimize mental clarity, resilience, and presence — whether on a stage, in the boardroom, or in everyday life.

CBT can be delivered effectively in both in-person and secure virtual sessions, and is often integrated into broader treatment plans alongside other modalities such as DBT, EMDR, Brainspotting, and attachment-based work — depending on each client’s unique goals and needs.

At Grace and Healing, we tailor every therapeutic approach to honor your personal story, cultural context, and stage of life. Whether you're seeking relief, growth, or greater emotional mastery, CBT is one of the many powerful tools we offer to support your journey forward.
