FAQ
Are neurofeedback and biofeedback appropriate for you?
•Are you having trouble with attention, anxiety, or mood, and are not receiving adequate help from medication and/or therapy?
•Are you willing to commit to a few months of training in order to be less anxious, more motivated, and happier?
•Are you uncomfortable relying on medications or drugs and would like to successfully manage your life with less or without them?
•Have you spent lots of time in talk therapy, yet aren’t experiencing growth-ful change?
•Do you prefer to use methods that are both holistic and scientifically verifiable?
•Are you ready to stop waiting for the right person, treatment, or pill that will ‘fix’ you, and start actively engaging in your own healing with technologies?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you are likely a great candidate for biofeedback or neurofeedback training!
How old do you have to be to do neurofeedback?
We see clients from age four (generally) to adults of any age.
Is there scientific evidence that neurofeedback is effective?
Yes, there are thousands of scientific articles published on the effectiveness of neurofeedback. Many more articles pertaining to neurofeedback and ADD/ADHD, as well as other conditions are available through The International Society for Neurofeedback and Research. Read client testimonials as well as a personal account of what is like to live with an attention deficit and other related conditions by our Director, Langdon Roberts, MA, CMT.
What does a typical session look like?
The first session is a physiological assessment called a Quantitative EEG, or QEEG. The result of QEEG is a detailed map of brain function in 19 different areas of your brain, which will help us to develop a personalized training program. A typical program consists of one to three neurofeedback trainings a week for several months in order to create lasting and substantial change. Programs can also include biofeedback, pyschotherapy, and neuromassage. Sessions are usually 50 or 75 minutes, though appointments can be shorter or longer. While our practitioners guide and support you through the process, neurofeedback requires an on-going commitment and engagement.
Things to know before coming in for the first time:
•We have a very relaxed environment.
•Dress comfortably.
•Limit caffeine intake the day of your first appointment/assessment.
•Be sure that you are not hungry on arrival.
•Arrive 15 minutes early to fill in our intake forms.
•Neurofeedback is best done earlier in the day when the brain is not tired.
