Are you wanting to assist athletes/actors/musicians with performance work with the use of Brainspotting?

If you responded ‘yes’ to these questions, I encourage you to contact me. I am certified in Brainspotting, and I am a Brainspotting Consultant who loves to teach other like-minded therapists about what Brainspotting has to offer their current and potential clients. Through our work together you will gain remarkable confidence in your knowledge of the techniques, theories, and set-ups that make Brainspotting such a unique and powerful healing modality.

I serve as a proud board member of the Rocky Mountain Brainspotting Institute, which was started by lead trainer, Dr. Pie Frey, to promote Brainspotting education, build community among Brainspotting therapists, plan and host the International Brainspotting Conference, and raise funds for scholarships to help provide Brainspotting therapy to the underserved.

I have taken and completed various Brainspotting-related courses and certifications:

Phase 1-4

Master Class with Dr. David Grand

3-Day Intensive with Dr. Pie Frey

I welcome the opportunity to help you develop into the Brainspotting therapist you wish to become. Some of my therapeutic specialties are sports/music performance, grief, anxiety, and trauma. I think you'll find my style of collaboration to be encouraging, thoughtful, and fun. Please don't hesitate to contact me when you are ready to start this part of your Brainspotting journey.

What is the certification process with Thad like?

“Thad is an exceptionally compassionate and knowledgeable consultant. My decision to work with Thad was influenced by his extensive background in Sports Performance, which aligns closely with my own practice in Eating Disorder therapy which can include Sports. Thad was clear to voice his scope of practice throughout our process regarding Sports and excluding Eating Disorder Therapy.

Despite managing a full caseload and commitments, Thad consistently accommodated our meetings across different time zones, demonstrating his commitment and flexibility. His consulting approach is a true reflection of his therapeutic stance: incredibly client-centered and nonjudgmental.

Throughout our collaboration, Thad challenged me to enhance my skills, practice various BSP setups, and deepen my client conceptualization and theoretical implementation. He provided a supportive environment for any consultation questions and guided me towards further certifications and training opportunities to expand my expertise.

Under Thad's guidance, I have grown significantly in confidence as a new brainspotter. This growth is evident in the marked improvement and symptom reduction seen in my clients, achieving results that talk therapy alone had not accomplished.

Even though I have completed my certification consultation meetings, I intend to continue working with Thad for consulting services, which is a testament to the value he provides. I am incredibly grateful for Thad's oversight and wholeheartedly endorse him to anyone seeking consulting or counseling services.”
