It involves using specialized equipment, such as EEG brain imaging, to monitor and provide feedback on the brain's electrical patterns. Neurofeedback Therapy aims to improve overall brain function and emotional well-being by promoting self-regulation and adaptive changes in brainwave activity.
During neurofeedback sessions, you will relax and watch a movie while we monitor your brain waves. When your brain waves are within the desired range and considered optimal, you are rewarded with uninterrupted movie viewing. However, the movie screen fades if your attention wavers and your brain waves deviate from the optimal range. This prompts your brain to adjust its oscillations toward the desired range.
As soon as your brain successfully achieves this adjustment, you are rewarded with the movie continuing without interruptions or fading. During the course of 25 neurofeedback sessions, your brain "learns" to optimize its brain waves, specifically those associated with a state of calmness and focus.
Additionally, Neurofeedback Therapy is a non-invasive approach that does not require medication and has minimal to no negative side effects. It is a safe and well-tolerated treatment option that can be used in conjunction with other therapeutic interventions or as a standalone treatment.
It has been found effective in alleviating symptoms associated with various conditions, including:
By targeting abnormal brainwave patterns associated with these conditions, Neurofeedback Therapy can help individuals experience symptom reduction and improved quality of life.
Secondly, Neurofeedback Therapy has the potential to enhance performance in various areas of life. Athletes can benefit from improved focus, concentration, and mental resilience, leading to enhanced sports performance. Musicians can experience heightened creativity and musical expression. Business professionals can improve cognitive abilities such as decision-making, problem-solving, and stress management, optimizing productivity and success.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a specialized form of therapy. This therapy focuses on addressing an individual's current difficulties that past memories and emotions may heavily influence. If you often experience feelings of unworthiness without understanding why, it is likely that past situations or emotions are overwhelming you. EMDR therapy can help address this common issue. Our brains create neural pathways that store memory sequences of similar experiences, and EMDR accesses these pathways through rapid eye movement. This allows the brain to reprocess the events along the pathway and helps the individual adapt to newer, updated information related to these memories.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful and evidence-based therapeutic approach focused on understanding and reshaping thought patterns and behaviors. Through CBT, individuals gain insight into how their thoughts influence emotions and behaviors. This therapy aims to identify and modify negative thought patterns that contribute to distress or unhealthy behaviors. By exploring and challenging these patterns, individuals learn practical skills to cope with challenges, manage stress, and shift unhelpful thoughts, ultimately fostering healthier habits and promoting emotional well-being. CBT sessions are tailored to each individual's needs, offering a supportive and collaborative environment to facilitate personal growth and positive change.
Marriage and couples therapy is a therapeutic approach aimed at improving and nurturing relationships. It involves sessions where partners engage in open, guided conversations with a trained therapist. The primary goal is to explore and resolve conflicts, enhance communication, and deepen understanding and intimacy within the relationship. Through structured dialogue and exercises, couples learn effective communication skills, address underlying issues, and work towards mutual goals. This therapy provides a safe space to discuss concerns, rebuild trust, and develop healthier patterns of interaction, fostering stronger connections and resilience within the partnership.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative and supportive process aimed at addressing various mental health challenges, emotional difficulties, and behavioral patterns. It involves conversations between an individual and a trained therapist in a safe and confidential setting. Through psychotherapy, individuals explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to better understand their concerns and develop effective coping strategies. It helps in gaining insight into past experiences, managing stress, improving relationships, and fostering personal growth. Tailored to each person's unique needs, psychotherapy offers a supportive environment for healing, self-discovery, and achieving overall mental well-being.
Administered in a one-on-one setting, Sound Bowl Therapy involves the placement of brass bowls directly on specific parts of the body.
The bowls emit vibrations and frequencies tailored to stimulate relaxation, balance energy, and foster healing on a more targeted, individualized level.
Sound Bath Therapy is done in a group setting, where participants gather around the crystal bowls in the center of the room.
Participants often sit or lie down comfortably, allowing the collective sounds and vibrations to envelop and wash over them, inducing relaxation, deepening meditation, and providing a calming effect on the nervous system.
Neurofeedback Therapy is suitable for a wide range of individuals across different age groups. It can benefit children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing symptoms related to brain dysregulation, such as difficulties with attention, emotional regulation, memory, and cognitive processing.
Moreover, individuals seeking to enhance their cognitive performance or optimize their brain function can also be good candidates for Neurofeedback Therapy. Athletes, musicians, students, and professionals looking to improve their focus, concentration, and overall mental performance can benefit from the targeted brainwave training provided by Neurofeedback Therapy.

No. Neurofeedback does not change personality. Personality is the expression of many genetic factors, along with the environment that shapes it. Many clients are concerned because the drugs prescribed to children and adults sometimes seem to “change their personality.” This falls under the category of a drug side effect which is not permanent but is bothersome. This is not the case with Neurofeedback. In fact, we believe that Neurofeedback helps children and adults become more of who they really are without the interference of troublesome symptoms of brain dis-regulation and drug-related side effects.

Because Neurofeedback Therapy has been developed more recently, many insurance companies are only now beginning to recognize it. We do not offer direct billing, but some of our clients have been able to get partial reimbursements or deductible credits from their insurance companies. To find out if your insurance company will reimburse any of your expenses, contact your insurance company about Neurofeedback Services. Give them the billing code 90901 (EEG Biofeedback) to find out what is covered for your diagnosis. We are approved for Sooner Care for those 18 years old and under. Unfortunately, Medicare does not currently cover our services. We urge clients not to allow this to hinder getting started with Neurofeedback, as it truly pays for itself.
Please join us in helping to educate our lawmakers and insurance companies about Neurofeedback Therapy. There are so many who need our services.
Neurofeedback treatments are recommended at least two to three times per week. Two treatments can be completed in one day as long as we schedule three hours between sessions – this is especially helpful for our out-of-town clients. We offer treatments in 25 session blocks, as Neurofeedback Therapy requires reinforcement training. Positive changes occur over time.
Call or email one of our locations to schedule your no-cost consultation. Here we will answer any questions you may have and explain further how Neurofeedback therapy can help you or your loved one.
Each Neurofeedback session is approximately 30-40 minutes. We generally schedule an hour for each appointment.
When we complete the QEEG in our office, we send the results to our Neuro-Map database and are able to receive immediate analysis results. We will schedule your first Neurofeedback appointment as soon as the analysis is received.
The first step is to schedule your Quantitative EEG. This is a 20-channel recording of total brain wave activity that helps us create what we call a “Brain Map.” Your Brain Map shows us what part of your brain is over or underactive and gives us prescriptions for how to treat with Neurofeedback. The Brain Map will take place here in our office unless otherwise arranged, and your customized Neurofeedback protocols will focus specifically on normalizing abnormal brain wave patterns found in your QEEG.
