Brainspotting is a brain-based psychotherapy approach that uses the field of vision to find where individuals are holding trauma and negative experiences. Therapists who use brainspotting techniques can access the subcortical part of the brain where trauma is held, enabling clients to heal from traumatic experiences rather than just cope with symptoms.
How does it work?
By utilizing precise eye position and bilateral sound stimulation, brainspotting enables the brain to respond more effectively and willingly to therapy. Brainspotting occurs in a typical one-on-one therapy session and can be modified to suit any individual’s needs.

Neurofeedback is a drug-free approach to training the brain to function at an optimal level. Kaka’s clients pair brainspotting with neurofeedback, a combination that researchers have identified as highly effective for overcoming trauma. Through training specific areas of the brain, neurofeedback helps the brain create new neural pathways. Neurofeedback is a lasting solution for those experiencing sleep issues, attention problems, anxiety, depression, and more.
Tennessee Neurofeedback
Tennessee Neurofeedback is a locally-owned mental health clinic that provides neurotherapy to children and adults. Our Board Certified Neurotherapists have completed BCIA certification, the gold standard credential in neurofeedback therapy. Our brain-based approach to healing ensures that clients train with scientifically proven, personalized treatment methods.
How does it work?
Neurofeedback training uses operant conditioning to enable the brain to self-regulate. Sensors placed on specific areas of the scalp listen in on brainwave activity. When the activity is in an optimal training zone, the client is rewarded with a pleasant feedback tone. This positive reinforcement shapes your brainwaves toward normalization and regulated performance over the course of multiple sessions, leading to lasting changes.
