What Is Neurofeedack Therapy?
Neurofeedback (also known as neurotherapy or EEG-biofeedback) is a non-invasive tool to retrain your brain. Think of it like physical therapy for your brain. You can learn tools to increase the control, flexibility and resiliency of your mind and mental performance.
Neurofeedback therapy is a non-invasive tool to help you teach your brain how to enhance its performance. It has been scientifically shown to help people with a range of symptoms and medical problems. Thanks to advances in this technology, you can also now train in the comfort of your own home.
The Science Behind EEG-Biofeedback
Neurofeedback uses positive reinforcement to enhance performance. In other words, every time your brain is showing improvement, you are rewarded.
Raise your right arm. Good. How did you do you that? How do you know that you successfully did it? Most people will say their brain sent a signal to their arm, and they know they did it because they could feel it and see it. Now, increase the relaxation in your brain. Decrease mental fog. You cannot see that or easily understand what it would feel like to make those changes. That is why neurofeedback is so powerful. I can teach you how to change those brainwave patterns while showing them to you on a screen.
There are two kind of Neurofeedback systems: passive and active. Passive systems send a signal to your brain to help jump start it. This is a gentle process, and is NOT shock therapy. Active Neurofeedback requires you to be engaged in the process. A machine reads your brainwaves, and you are rewarded when you show improvement. There are several reasons you might choose passive or active neurofeedback. Active generally provides more permanent change and leaves the client in control.
Passive can create faster change and puts the machine in control more than the client. You can learn more about Neurofeedback research by visiting The International Society for Neuroregulation and Research.
The Benefits Of Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback when combined with other traditional psychotherapy practices can help with a wide variety of conditions.
Anxiety
Whether you experience a racing mind, stuck thoughts, or constant worry, it is possible to regain a sense peace and control.
ADHD
For those struggling with ADHD, it can be immensely frustrating and self-defeating. A simple task feels like climbing the highest mountain, and you can start to question your own abilities as you watch those around you perform effortlessly. It's time to take back control.
Insomnia
Sleep is supposed to be a natural part of our daily lives. However, for many people sleep is a deeply frustrating cycle of disappointment and longing. If you have been struggling to wake up well rested, or you rely on caffeine to keep you going every day, then it's time to find a real solution.

Most people with OCD feel out of control and exhausted by their condition. Like most issues that we face as humans, learning how to control your brain function can create profound relief and peace.
Concussions
Post concussion syndrome can leave you in a daze for months or years. If you want to lift yourself out of your brain fog, it's time to learn how to wake up your brain and take back your life.

If you feel helpless, hopeless, or like you have lost all energy and drive, you're not alone. Depression affects millions of people, and unfortunately it can cause a vicious cycle in your life. It's time to take back control.

NeuroMeditation & In-Home Neurofeedback Training
Get The Most Benefit From Neurofeedback Therapy Training
Most people want fast results, so I offer two options to maximizing your training and decrease how long you will have to practice neurofeedback.
In-Home Neurofeedback
Remote neurofeedback training allows you to access unlimited sessions for a set monthly fee. You also have the convenience of training at any time instead of waiting for a session with a doctor, which also saves you time commuting for appointment.
NeuroMeditation
NeuroMeditation allows me to watch someone’s brainwaves as they meditate. It can save years of struggle and not only enhance your meditation practice, but give you a lifelong skill that will cut your neurofeedback therapy sessions by about 50%.
What To Expect
Most clients train their brain 1 to 3 times per week for about 3 to 6 months. All training is currently offered remotely or in person, and you must have a brain map before starting your therapy.
Goals
It's important to have a clear destination in mind before starting any journey. Understanding what you want to achieve with neurofeedback will create better results.
Brain Map & History
There is rarely ever one cause of a person's symptoms. That is why I take a full health history and conduct a brain map analysis on every person before they begin treatment.
Neurofeedback Training
After the evaluation is complete, you can begin learning how to train your brain. I will coach you while monitoring your brainwave activity so that you can learn how to achieve your desired mental state.
Aftercare
My job is prepare you for life outside my office so that you don't require ongoing care. After you have completed neurofeedback training, we will discuss specific steps you can take to maximize your results for the years to come.
Curious About Brain Mapping?
A Brain map is like a multi-point inspection of your brain’s performance, and it is a required step before beginning neurofeedback training.

The general fee for office visits is $300 per session, however we also offer packages of 5 or 10 sessions that bring the cost down to as low as $200 per visit.
