Online therapy for overwhelmed moms across Maryland

1:1 Brainspotting Consultation: 

So you completed Phase 1 and you're wondering how to apply Brainspotting in your current practice.  In individual consultation you will develop your brainspotting knowledge and accrue hours toward certification.   I'm passionate about helping Brainspotters of all levels understand the core principles and techniques such that they can intuitively apply them in their own unique ways.  Check the Brainspotting International website for certification criteria and use this form to enroll in consultation. 

​

Putting It All Together:  Hey Newbie! For the self-taught, beginner brainspotter, Pesi* or asynchronous (books, youtube, Brainspotting dvds) learner, Putting It All Together was developed to answer your burning questions and help you implement this powerful modality with your clients.  Offered in group and workshop formats throughout the year. 

*Some clinicians who watched the recording have been left uncertain about whether they can use the material without completing Phase 1 training. I was the assistant at the live recording, where David Grand clarified that both in-person attendees and those watching from home could utilize what he taught. I'm available for individual consultation to help you make sense of the material, strengthen your skills, and apply what you learned to your clinical work.

Brainspotting Supportive Practice:  Many new Brainspotters freeze up because they feel overwhelmed by trying to keep in mind everything they learned (hold the pointer like this, not this.  Which set up do I use? Was that a reflex?  I think I forgot a step.  Oh no—I drifted! I’m not in the tail of the comet.  WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. How long do I wait? ).  You and your client will experience more success if we simplify things.  Let’s focus on one goal, of your choice, for 1 session, and then let’s see what your client gets from that experience.  Contact me to learn when the next practice group will form.

Consultation for Community Organizations:  

Now that your team has learned Brainspotting, consultation can help your agency integrate the model program-wide. You may have varying sites, timed sessions, documentation hurdles, funding requirements, specialty services, or a diverse client population that appear to pose barriers to BSP implementation.  David Grand says "In Brainspotting, nothing is a problem unless we make it a problem."  From virtual calls to site visits, we can create processes that fit your program's unique needs.  ​​​​

About your consultant:

Caroline Artley was a Brainspotting skeptic at first.  After completing Phase 1, she followed the advice of trainers and experienced brainspotting clinicians who encouraged her to trust the inherent wisdom of her clients' brains and stay in the tail of the comet.  What resulted was a conversion of sorts into becoming a Brainspotting Believer, snowballing into a desire to jump into any brainspotting webinar and training she could and to share brainspotting with just about everyone she encountered.  As an approved consultant, she is excited to journey with you into curiosity and uncertainty as you discover the breadth of healing that Brainspotting can bring to your clients and yourself.  Whether you are starting out feeling unsure of your training experience, or you are already hungry for more and eager to use Brainspotting whenever possible (like she is!), Caroline will be honored to be part of your growth.

​

Caroline Artley studied Phase 1 with Sue Pinco, Phase 2 with Cynthia Schwartzburg, Phase 3 with David Grand, mini-Master Class with David Grand and received certification consultation and CIT training with Deb Antinori (2021).  Once the pandemic brought trainings online, she was honored to assist with several phase 1 and 2 virtual trainings.  This provided the opportunity to re-learn the material from various trainers, observing their technique and brainspotting style, and adopting various concepts and practices from each.  In 2022, Caroline was invited to help develop Brainspotting International's High Acuity Care Initiative, bringing specialized training to youth residential care programs, and remains a HAC consultant as the initiative expands.  She attends as many specialty trainings and brown bag webinars in Brainspotting as she possibly can, and often donates her time to support phase-level trainings. Caroline strongly believes in the collective power of learning as experienced in community, which is why she hosts two monthly group consultation meetings (Newbies and Experienced Practitioners) and uses a donation-based fee structure for attending group.
