Chelsea Spagnola, MS, LMFT If talk therapy hasn’t worked, Brainspotting may be the breakthrough you need. No need to overanalyze or relive everything. Now is the time to focus on you!

If you’re ready for real, lasting change, I’m here to help! You deserve to feel seen, heard and understood. As a strength-based therapist I offer a gentle, compassionate approach, while at the same time remaining solution-focused and outcome oriented. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to explore the challenges that have interrupted your life and relationships and utilize my training and experience to introduce alternate ways of coping and relating to others. While I enjoy working with a variety of clients, I have extensive experience working with trauma, specifically child and adult survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Going to therapy isn’t embarrassing.
What is embarrassing is spending a lifetime so disconnected from your own wounds that the people around you end up carrying them for you.

Awareness, accountability, and nervous system regulation don’t happen by accident. They require intention—and sometimes a container that allows you to go deep enough to actually shift what’s been stuck.

This is why I offer Brainspotting intensives. They’re designed for focused, trauma-informed work that moves beyond insight and into real, embodied change—without stretching the process out indefinitely.

Healing often starts with the uncomfortable realization that everything wasn’t fine🤍

Not in an obvious, dramatic way—but in the quiet ways it leaks out when you’re holding it together.

It shows up in marriage as snapping at your partner, emotional distance, resentment you can’t quite explain, or feeling lonely while lying next to someone you love.
It shows up in motherhood as overstimulation, rage that feels out of proportion, guilt for needing space, or wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

And sometimes it doesn’t show up emotionally at all—it shows up in the body.

High blood pressure.
A missed or irregular period.
Autoimmune flare-ups.
Chronic inflammation.
Fertility struggles.
Exhaustion that rest doesn’t touch.

These aren’t failures of willpower. They’re signals from a nervous system that learned to survive for a long time and never got the chance to come back to baseline.

This is why talk therapy alone doesn’t always reach it.

Brainspotting intensives work directly with the part of the brain and body where these patterns live—beneath logic, beneath insight, beneath “I know why I’m like this.” Instead of rehashing the story, we follow the nervous system, allowing unresolved stress and trauma to finally move through and release.

Healing often begins when we stop minimizing what our body has been trying to say.

The good news is this 👇
Because C-PTSD is a valid, learned response to surviving traumatic environments,
it can be unlearned.
Your nervous system can heal.

How healing happens (Brainspotting-informed):
✨ Creating safety in the body, not just insight
✨ Bottom-up processing through the brain–body connection
✨ Accessing subcortical trauma without forcing the story
✨ Allowing the nervous system to process at its own pace
✨ Expanding capacity, regulation, and choice over time

You weren’t broken — you adapted.
And what was learned in survival can be relearned in safety.

Healing isn’t about reliving the past.
It’s about helping your nervous system experience that now is different. 🤍
