Neurofeedback is a non-invasive technique that helps your brain function more effectively. Using real-time brainwave monitoring, it trains your brain to regulate itself, improving cognitive and emotional health. It’s used to address conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood regulation, sleep issues, and more.

Small sensors are placed on your scalp which monitors your brain electrical activity. The results are fed through an FDA-registered database and users are given real-time feedback to optimize their brain wave patterns. This feedback comes in the form of changes in a video display or sound pattern. By rewarding more healthy brain states, your brain learns to function better long-term. It’s simple and painless. All you need to do is show up and relax!

Absolutely! Neurofeedback is considered safe for most people, including children and adults. It doesn’t involve medications or invasive procedures. Some mild side effects, like headaches or tiredness, may occur but typically subside quickly. Please always communicate with your technician so they can make adjustments quickly. Most side effects can be reversed with a session or two.

In some cases you may be eligible to use out-of-network insurance benefits. You will be responsible for paying for each session in full at time of appointment. ​ We do not directly accept insurance however most PPO insurance plans may reimburse you up to 80% and we will happily provide you a superbill. Please feel free to check your insurance benefits by clicking the insurance button above. We work with Mentaya, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. If you have out-of-network benefits, Mentaya will file claims and handle the insurance paperwork to make sure you get reimbursed. This service will be provided at no cost to you. Note: Mentaya's goal is to save you time and money. It's completely optional, and as your therapist we do not benefit in any way from your participation.

The frequency of sessions depends on your condition. Most people start with two to three sessions per week, and the overall number of sessions varies. Your neurofeedback provider will work with you to create a personalized plan. People usually start to notice exciting results within 5-10 sessions. Life changing results have been seen by some in as few as 30 sessions. Many need 40. Some need more than 100 for very serious, ongoing conditions (serious seizure disorders or stroke recovery).

Yes, neurofeedback is generally safe for children, and in many cases, it can be an effective tool for improving focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance. Since neurofeedback is non-invasive and drug-free, it is considered a low-risk approach to addressing issues like ADHD, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and emotional dysregulation in kids. Why Neurofeedback for Children? ADHD & Focus Issues – Neurofeedback has been studied extensively for ADHD, with research suggesting it helps improve attention, impulse control, and executive function. Anxiety & Emotional Regulation – It can help kids develop better self-regulation, reducing anxiety and mood swings. Sleep & Relaxation – Neurofeedback can promote better sleep patterns, which are crucial for growing brains. Sensory Processing & Autism Spectrum Disorders – Some children on the spectrum have benefited from neurofeedback in areas like emotional regulation and sensory integration. Is it Safe? Minimal to No Side Effects – Unlike medication, which can have side effects like appetite suppression or mood swings, neurofeedback simply trains the brain and does not introduce foreign substances. Mild Fatigue or Temporary Emotional Fluctuations – Some children may feel slightly tired after sessions, or experience temporary mood shifts as their brain adjusts. This is typically short-lived. No Lasting Negative Effects – Neurofeedback does not force the brain to function in any specific way but rather encourages self-regulation.
