About Dr. Armands Brants

Physician • Psychotherapy Specialist • Supervisor

Dr. Armands Brants is a physician and psychotherapist trained in body-oriented approaches. His work focuses on the connections between physical and psychological health — how the body holds and expresses psychological issues, and how both need to be addressed together.

Psycho-Organic Analysis (POA)

Dr. Brants specializes in Psycho-Organic Analysis (POA), a psychotherapeutic method that works with movement, bodily processes, and the dynamics of the psyche. The approach is based on the idea that psychological issues are often expressed through the body and need to be addressed on both levels.

POA is used for conditions such as chronic stress, psychosomatic conditions, trauma, and emotional regulation difficulties.

Training

He trained at the French School of Psycho-Organic Analysis (EFAPO) from 1993 to 1998. He later completed EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training at the Berlin Institute for Trauma Therapy, adding a second method for working with trauma and PTSD.

Supervision

Dr. Brants also works as a supervisor, providing guidance and mentorship to other psychotherapists in their professional development.
