Services
Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback improves brain self-regulation through real-time monitoring and reinforcement. Sessions target dysfunctional brainwave patterns associated with anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. Clients receive personalized training protocols based on qEEG findings, with progress tracked across 20-40 sessions. This non-invasive treatment promotes long-term neural plasticity and emotional stability.
qEEG Brain Mapping
Quantitative EEG creates detailed brain activity maps by measuring electrical patterns across 16 scalp locations. The two-session process identifies deviations from normative databases, guiding neurofeedback protocols. Results reveal functional imbalances related to anxiety, insomnia, and cognitive challenges, providing a scientific foundation for targeted treatment planning.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one sessions address anxiety, depression, and personal growth challenges using integrative therapeutic approaches. Treatment combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mind-body awareness to improve emotional regulation. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies, enhancing self-esteem, and resolving past traumas through evidence-based counseling methods.
Couples Therapy
Specialized treatment for relationship challenges including communication breakdowns, infidelity recovery, and ADHD-related conflicts. Therapy addresses power struggles and emotional disconnection through structured interventions. Sessions focus on rebuilding trust, improving conflict resolution, and restoring intimacy in both married and non-marital partnerships.
Initial Consultation
Two-hour comprehensive assessment establishes treatment readiness and therapeutic goals. The session includes detailed history-taking, symptom evaluation, and treatment planning. Clients receive immediate coping strategies while determining service fit. This foundational session ensures informed decision-making about continuing care options.
