Traditional Neurofeedback
Traditional Neurofeedback uses EEG technology to train brainwave patterns through operant conditioning. This non-invasive treatment helps the brain learn self-regulation by reinforcing healthy electrical activity patterns. Patients experience improved cognitive function and symptom reduction for conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and sleep disorders through repeated sessions that promote lasting neural pathway changes.
Live LORETA Neurofeedback
Live LORETA Neurofeedback employs 3D neuroimaging to target deep brain structures with precision. This advanced technology identifies abnormal brain activity patterns correlated with psychological conditions. By providing real-time feedback on 2394 cortical voxels, it enables comprehensive treatment of complex disorders like PTSD and traumatic brain injuries while optimizing cognitive performance in healthy individuals.
QEEG Brain Mapping
QEEG Brain Mapping creates detailed assessments by comparing EEG recordings to FDA-approved normative databases. This diagnostic tool identifies dysfunctional brainwave patterns associated with mental health conditions. The 19-channel EEG cap measures electrical activity during eyes-open and eyes-closed states, producing statistical maps that guide personalized neurofeedback treatment protocols with scientific precision.
Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical Hypnosis utilizes guided relaxation techniques to access subconscious mental processes. This complementary therapy enhances neurofeedback outcomes by addressing emotional blocks and reinforcing positive behavioral changes. Patients benefit from targeted interventions for anxiety, phobias, and habit disorders through heightened suggestibility during hypnotic states, facilitating deeper therapeutic breakthroughs.
Psychological Evaluations
Comprehensive psychological evaluations assess cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning across age groups. These assessments combine traditional psychotherapy methods with neuroimaging data to create holistic treatment plans. By integrating quantitative EEG findings with clinical observations, we develop targeted interventions for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing developmental, learning, or mental health challenges.

Questions
What conditions does neurofeedback treat?
Neurofeedback effectively addresses ADD/ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sleep disorders, traumatic brain injuries, and neurological conditions like fibromyalgia through brainwave retraining.
Is neurofeedback scientifically supported?
Yes, over 30 years of peer-reviewed research and clinical studies validate neurofeedback's efficacy for various psychological and neurological disorders.
How does QEEG brain mapping work?
QEEG brain mapping compares your EEG patterns to normative databases, identifying dysfunctional brainwave activity that guides personalized treatment protocols.
What makes LORETA different from traditional neurofeedback?
LORETA provides 3D imaging of deep brain structures, allowing more precise targeting of abnormal activity patterns compared to surface-level traditional neurofeedback.
Are sessions covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by provider - we recommend checking with your insurance company about neurofeedback therapy benefits and potential reimbursement options.
How many sessions are typically needed?
Treatment plans vary, but most patients see significant improvement after 20-40 sessions, with LORETA often requiring fewer sessions due to its precision targeting.
