In simple terms, neurofeedback is a type of therapy that helps people learn to control and improve their own brain activity. It does this by using special sensors on the head to measure the electrical activity in the brain. This process is non-invasive and done at the scalp level. EEG technology allows trained clinicians to see in real-time the activity of an individual's brainwaves and whether certain brain regions are too active or not active enough, causing dysregulation. By training brainwaves for optimal functioning, clients can see significant reductions in anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, sleep disorders and many more mental health conditions.
NFB is biofeedback that measures the electrical activity of the brain from the scalp level. It is a non-invasive treatment that helps train the brain to operate more efficiently. It's like helping you connect the puzzle pieces that just don't seem to fit together.
Individuals will meet with the therapist to provide a history and discuss symptoms and goals. This session takes approximately two hours.
Training the brain takes time, and the recommended number of sessions needed is between 30 – 40, depending on the conditions being addressed and the client's goals. Ideally, training would occur twice per week.
Evidence-backed and safe, neurofeedback addresses numerous conditions. It's known to uplift cognitive abilities, lessen anxiety and depression, promote restful sleep, alleviate pain, boost mood, mitigate stress, heighten self-awareness, and refine emotional stability.
