Brainspotting Consultation.

You want to grow and expand your skills as a brainspotting therapist.

Congratulations on completing your Brainspotting training! This is a major achievement, and you should be proud of taking that important step. But despite all the hours you’ve dedicated to training and practice, it’s natural to still feel a bit unsure or uncomfortable.

Brainspotting is a unique and powerful therapeutic approach, but starting to use it with clients can feel overwhelming. You might find yourself feeling confused or seeking reassurance that you’re “doing it right.” You’re committed to helping your clients heal deeply, and you want the confidence and support to bring Brainspotting from your training into real-life practice.

Hi, I’m Deanna.

I’m a certified Brainspotting therapist and Brainspotting Consultant in Training under the supportive guidance of Mariya Javed-Payne. I'm also a dog lover, yoga enthusiast, nature lover, wife, and spiritual human. I remember the excitement and overwhelm after completing my Brainspotting training—how it challenged everything I knew about being present with clients and the healing process. Seeking consultation and support helped me build my skills, become more comfortable using Brainspotting with clients, and gain confidence. My passion is to support and guide helping professionals in using Brainspotting confidently, through a holistic, empowered, and person-centered lens.

In addition to Brainspotting, I’m also a certified EMDR therapist and Consultant in Training. I enjoy teaching creative ways to integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work, nature-based mindfulness, somatic movement, and meditation, tailored to each client’s unique needs. I’m dedicated to helping therapists discover creative solutions, expand their skills, and meet their clients where they are, holistically. My core value is fostering each therapist’s personal style while keeping our shared humanity at the forefront—ensuring that everyone feels respected and comfortable.

Testimonials

“I was stumped on a tough complex trauma client who was engaging in brainspotting intensive with me, and I reached out to Deanna for consultation. It was the best 30 minutes I could have spent. She was supportive, highlighted where I did well, and provided me with exact brainspotting strategies that helped my client be able to process their complex trauma more effectively in the next intensive. She was very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend her for brainspotting consultation. Thank you Deanna!”

- Kelsey DePue, LMHC

“Deanna is the rare clinician who is authentically kind and can hold a supportive space for her clients, but she is also formidable knowledgeable and sharply intuitive. She is incredibly knowledgeable on various therapeutic modalities, effectively interweaving somatic techniques into her clinical approach. It is my highest priviledge to have met Deanna and I will always know her to be a remarkable person to have a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to work with her.”
