If you need a depression and anxiety therapist to help you cope, be sure to contact Amy D. Byrne, LMFT. As a brainspotting therapist in Sacramento, I can help you access unprocessed trauma to help you heal. The practice of brainspotting was discovered in 2003 and today, over 13,000 therapists use it in the United States, Europe, Asia, and other countries around the world. This method is particularly effective as part of seeing a qualified depression and anxiety therapist as it helps to identify and heal the underlying trauma, which can contribute to increased feelings of anxiety, depression, and a number of other behavioral issues and conditions. The concept of using a brainspotting therapist in Sacramento follows the mantra of “where you look affects how you feel.” This means that brain activity, particularly in the subcortical brain, organizes itself around where the eyes are positioned.

​

BSP utilizes this natural occurrence through relevant eye positions to help me locate, focus, process, and then release a wide range of emotional and mental-health-based conditions. This brain-based tool helps to support a healthy relationship throughout your therapy. Using this method taps into and then harnesses the body’s ability to self-scan and self-heal. Through Brainspot simulation, the deep brain reflexively signals the therapist to the source and the root of the problem. It allows the therapist to then find and strengthen your own natural ability to be more resilient.

​

As a therapeutic tool, BSP can be integrated into a number of different therapies and practices. This can help to treat a wide range of emotional and mental conditions, particularly related to trauma-based issues. It helps to identify and heal issues with underlying trauma that can trigger depression and anxiety.
