Neurofeedback

The brain is like a muscle. Neurofeedback is similar to a “workout” which helps your brain reorganize itself to develop patterns which help one feel, think and behave in healthier ways.

Repeated “workouts” develop automatic healthier reactions. Results can be seen after 5-10 sessions as the brain gets stronger and works more efficiently.

What Is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive therapy that uses sensors placed on the scalp to monitor the brain’s electrical activity. The process provides real-time feedback to the individual about their brainwaves, helping them learn to modulate their neural activity. This can often lead to improvements in cognitive abilities, emotional regulation, and overall mental health.

Neurofeedback Helps With…

Neurofeedback can be used to treat symptoms related to:

  • Mood
  • Anxiety
  • Stress (muscle tension, headaches)
  • Attention and Impulsivity
  • Trauma

How is Neurofeedback Performed?

  • Sessions should occur once per week for about 45 minutes, with a commitment to approximately 20 sessions.
  • A trained and professional therapist places sensors on a person’s head which measures the patterns their brain creates.
  • Clients can play a game or watch a video using a special computer which adjusts the audiovisual cues to give the brain feedback on its own functioning – a type of brain “workout.”
  • The brain uses this feedback to improve its own performance.
  • During and after sessions, the neurofeedback therapist will assess the client to ensure they are receiving the best treatment possible.
