Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that 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.

Also known as EEG (electroencephalogram) biofeedback, neurofeedback is a therapeutic tool that offers real-time feedback from a computer-based program that checks out your brainwave activity, then it uses sounds or visual signals to help reorganize or train those brain signals. By doing this, you get to learn how to regulate and improve your brain function, which can help ease symptoms of various neurological and mental health issues. Think of it like giving your brain a little nudge in the right direction to help it heal itself through something called neuroplasticity.

When It’s Used?

Neurofeedback isn’t just for one group—it can be super helpful for children, adolescents, and adults with seizure conditions, behavior disorders, attention deficits, autism, ongoing developmental delays, acquired brain injuries, birth trauma, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, stress-related problems, and insomnia or interrupted sleep patterns, as well as those with age-related cognitive loss! Plus, it can tag along with other forms of therapy to give you that extra boost.

What is Brain Mapping / QEEG?

Brain mapping is getting a snapshot of how your brain works! Instead of the usual EEG you might get at a hospital, brain mapping—also called a QEEG—uses fancy stats and numbers to show you how different parts of your brain chat with each other. Although not solely used for diagnosis, the information can help inform various presentations of disorders. This detailed report provides a “road map” to train your brain to work more effectively, while mitigating aggravating symptoms that prevent you from living your best life. Best of all, brain mapping is non-invasive, painless, and has no side effects.

It is recommended that a QEEG be performed so that your training is individualized.

Why Neurofeedback?

So why choose neurofeedback you ask?

Well, for starters, it’s a gentle way to coax your brain into healthier habits. The goal isn’t just to change how you feel, but to actually change how your brain functions on a biological level. With neurofeedback, your brain gets the chance to learn how to handle emotions better and break free from those pesky negative thoughts. Plus, it’s like a workout for your brain—helping it stay in tip-top shape for whatever life throws your way.

In a nutshell, neurofeedback is like a little boost for your brain health, and who wouldn’t want that?

Neurofeedback can now be delivered:

• As a supplement to psychotherapy
• As a standalone training method
• As an integral part of the psychotherapy process itself
• In-office or remotely- your patients can train at home
