What is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive, medication-free approach for treating a variety of different conditions. Neurofeedback encourages the brain to develop healthier patterns of activity. The goal of treatment is not only to change how you think and feel, but also to change your brain on a biological level for better functioning.

Recent research has shown that when given the proper support, the brain has the ability to change and adapt, a property known as neuroplasticity. Neurofeedback can encourage and speed up this process of neuroplasticity. Words alone are often not enough. Simply telling someone to calm down or focus doesn’t solve the underlying issues of conditions like anxiety or ADHD.

​

Neurofeedback is a process of optimizing your brain, whether through making various brainwaves less overpowering or more powerful. All of our brainwaves have a function that serves us however, when they are too powerful or underpowered, they can correlate with symptoms that cause impairment in our lives. Neurofeedback allows the brain to see what it is doing and then adjust, just as you might adjust an out-of-place hair or crooked collar when looking at yourself in a mirror. At its core, neurofeedback is a process of learning, much like learning to read or ride a bike. With repetition, the brain learns the skill

Neurofeedback allows us to speak to the brain with its own language: brain waves. An individual’s brain can be mapped by the use on non-invasive electrodes. From here, it provides the practitioner an exact roadmap to how and why the brain is functioning and a treatment protocol can be assessed and implemented.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, lost, inability to focus, low motivation, or stuck?

Do any of the following resonate with you?

• You feel like you lack motivation to do anything.

• Your quality of sleep feels disrupted.

• Defaulting to maladaptive coping mechanisms, such as drinking or over-eating. 

• Inability to initiate tasks.

• You feel anxious about day-to-day activities

• Inability to stay focused on tasks?

• You feel lonely, even when you are with others.

• Lack of zest and lust for life?

• Feelings of overwhelm. 

• Feeling stuck. 

• Unhappy in life or your relationships. 

• You feel unable to do your day-to-day responsibilities.

• You wake up every morning feeling overwhelmed and depressed.

• You feel like you are wandering through life, feeling like something is missing or your balance is "off."

If this sounds true for you, I want you to know that what you are experiencing is common and treatable. Reaching out for help can provide you with the support, encouragement and tools you need to live high quality, high functioning life. I have found that when you put your own joy and happiness first, everything else tends to fall into place.

How Neurofeedback Services Works

Here’s how it will work step-by-step:

​

1. All new clients start with a private consultation which includes a preliminary discussion about  your needs and what we can offer. This time together is extremely valuable, to learn as much as possible what it means to be you. During this time, a detailed description of the Neurotherapy  process will be explained and full extent of your expectations will be discussed in order to fully  meet them. 

2. The next step is scheduling an appointment for a Quantitative Electroencepaholgram (qEEG).  This appointment sets the tone for your treatment strategy, allowing us to visualize the baseline  activity of your brain, and to evaluate the appropriate treatment protocols based on the results.  The duration of this appointment is ~60 minutes. 

3. Once the QEEG has been processed, a follow up appointment is scheduled to go over the results  and to discuss treatment strategies. 

4. Neurofeedback training is similar to the process of becoming physically fit. It takes many  repetitions for behavioral change to become conditioned behavior. Just as a muscle builds new  fibers to support heavier lifting, the brain builds new, functional neural connections through  neurofeedback therapy sessions to support brain based behavioral change. 

5. The client has the option of participating in either 45 minutes sessions or 60 minute sessions,  depending on their goals and if the individual would like to incorporate psychotherapy. During  each session, the client will have electrodes placed on their scalp and relax while the form of  biofeedback occurs (visual, audio, tactical and/or sometimes both). Each session is conducted in  the comfort of a private, quiet and therapeutic space. 

6. In order to ensure that these neuroplastic changes steadily occur, a once to twice-per-week  schedule initially is the standard mandatory minimum for neurofeedback therapy. This frequency  of training keeps the brain in an active state of learning and growth, allowing each session to  progressively build on the last. We highly encourage a minimum commitment of 10 sessions, with optimal sessions between 30-40. Regardless of training frequency, all clients are consistently evaluated throughout their training  in order to track shifts in symptom presentations and overall client experience.
