How long are the sessions? Each session is typically 90 minutes long.

How many sessions does it take? It depends on the problem. Generally, Brainspotting works extremely quickly, even though it is gentle. You may experience improvement in your symptoms shortly after we begin working together and continued improvement from additional sessions. The number of sessions is up to you.

What happens during my session? I like to start with a brief history and an understanding of what you would like to change in your life. I will probably ask you to put on headphones so you can hear barely audible soothing sounds. I then guide you through a process individually tailored to the specific issue you want to address.

Will I re-experience past trauma? Brainspotting is a very gentle process that allows healing to take place while you feel extremely supported. While strong emotions sometimes come up, I carefully manage the process so that you do not feel overwhelmed. Clients typically end the session with a feeling of deep peace. You may find it interesting to read the testimonials on this website and note how soothing the process is.

Is insurance accepted? Sat Tara is a licensed psychotherapist and can provide you with a bill to give to your insurance for reimbursement. Please check with them to understand your coverage.

What is the cost? A 90-minute session is $125.
