Houston, TX 77098
At Home Body Counseling, Sarah Shelton uses somatic-based therapies - EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing - to help clients increase body awareness, capacity to manage distress, and release trauma.
Sarah Shelton created Home Body Counseling for those looking to feel more calm and connected in their body and relationships. Feeling daily anxiety, overwhelm, and grief makes it hard to be present, know ourselves, enjoy our lives, or relate to others. Because our bodies hold onto past experiences, it's important we begin there to help us feel, care, and heal. Being able to slow down, witness, and see all parts of ourselves is how we begin to unburden and release stuck energy from our bodies to become more regulated and whole. This is your invitation to feel at home and at ease in your body, your life. You are welcome here.

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.
