Welcome to
Rocky Mountain Brainspotting Institute (RMBI)

The Rocky Mountain Brainspotting Institute (RMBI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that was created to promote and advance the use of Brainspotting, a brain-body treatment approach. We are a professional association of mental and physical health professionals who are trained in and use Brainspotting in their practices.  Brainspotting (BSP) uses a Mind/Body approach to psychotherapy that evolved from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and the Somatic Experiencing (SE) Traditions. Upsetting memories are stored deep within the brain and the body.  BSP helps to release these stressors because it works from the deeper level of the autonomic nervous system and within the limbic system in the brain. Brainspotting is an effective and efficient healing modality that can be used with children, adolescents, and adults, and has been beneficial with all types of performance work and spiritual development. Read More or listen to this podcast from Heartseed Health in which Thad Frye, LCSW and RMBI Board Member explains how Brainspotting works, the relationship between Brainspotting and the body, and what kinds of conditions Brainspotting has been proven to be effective in treating.

As part of our mission to increase the use and understanding of Brainspotting and serve the community, RMBI is always open to helping when the community is in need. We have provided many hours of free therapy to people impacted by the shooting at the King Soopers in Boulder and by wildfires and other traumatic events in Colorado and elsewhere. 

Every donation supports our Scholarship Treatment Fund (STF) through which we
match those in need with RMBI member-therapists for up to ten sessions of therapy.
