Brainspotting at our practice is provided by Jamie E. Mills, LCSW, our Clinical Director and a certified trauma specialist, who often weaves it together with somatic work and EMDR. Jamie has limited openings. If her schedule is full, our team can connect you with EMDR or trauma therapy with a clinician who has immediate availability.
Brainspotting typically functions as one part of a comprehensive plan that may also include EMDR, mindfulness, cognitive strategies, or somatic techniques — combined according to what you respond to.
Brainspotting with Jamie is available in person in Raleigh or by telehealth anywhere in North Carolina. Openings are limited, so call or book and our admin team will check her availability.
