** ASK ME ABOUT BRAINSPOTTING **.
Fog, Heavy Rain, Snow and Smoke are all elements that can impair ones visibility. Well how about chaos, emotional instability, anxiety, depression, clutter, stress? While it's true heavy rain and dense fog can cloud our physical vision; environmental, behavioral and chemical stressors can cloud our mental visibility. My name is Mabel (May-Bell) and it is my goal and mission for you to become emotionally and mentally healthy while learning effective tools you can apply to every day life’s challenges as you encounter them.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, two of the best methods for healing trauma and PTSD; talk therapy, mindfulness, sand tray, and dream work.
Pema Chödrön wrote, "Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know." My therapeutic work is Depth Psychology-based, grounded in the knowledge that all emotional pain has a root source, and that to alleviate the symptoms, we must find that source and heal those old wounds. I treat trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, women's issues, codependence, grief & loss, stage of life issues, creativity, and LGBQIA and Transgender/Gender Non-Conforming issues. I work with transgender/NGC adults, and families.

Often times people attempt to build their self esteem on top of shaky foundations with deep painful cracks. The residue of these old hurts can really make us feel like we aren't enough, we don't matter or we aren't in control of our own journey. Finding our way through these foundational issues is so challenging, and having a guide to challenge all the junk (that we may not even see) that goes through our minds on a daily basis is one of the ways I help my clients realign with who they actual are. As we build up their strength to be themselves, I lead them through the steps of how to make their lives the best lives for who they are.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
