Neurofeedback
Restoring Health One Brain at a Time
Neurofeedback is a type of therapy that helps people learn to control their brain waves. It involves using sensors placed on the scalp to monitor brain activity, and then providing feedback to help individuals learn how to regulate their brain waves. This process can help improve attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive function by training the brain to function more efficiently.
Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS)
LENS offers an innovative and natural approach to emotional regulation. LENS Neurofeedback aids in the development of new neural pathways in the brain, breaking free from repetitive patterns associated with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions. Specifically targeting suppression in the brain, LENS allows for the lifting of inhibitory brain waves that contribute to Central Nervous System (CNS) issues. This process enables the brain to reorganize itself, promoting optimal function and flexibility. LENS is remarkably effective, and over 85% of people who have used LENS have benefited significantly from it. Results can be seen quickly, often beginning within the first session, and are long lasting. LENS Neurofeedback is effective for addressing various presenting issues, including:
By facilitating self-correction in the brain, Neurofeedback empowers clients to cultivate new ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling, enabling them to thrive in life and foster healthier relationships with others.
Anxiety
ADHD
Sleep Issues
Traumatic Brain Injury
Post-Concussive Syndrome
Mood Issues
Anger/Explosiveness
Chronic Stress
Cognition and Clarity
What to expect when receiving LENS:
LENS is FDA-cleared as a biofeedback device for the intended purpose of relaxation and self-regulation. It is non-invasive and not painful. The electrical current coming from the sensors attached to your scalp is less than the electrical current coming from your watch. During the session, two or more electrodes are placed on the scalp and two electrodes are placed on the earlobes.
Clients need a series of sessions for the brain to “hold on” to the changes in the brain. The recommended number of sessions is 10 with more complicated medical issues requiring longer treatment up to 20 or more. Most people will see shifts in their nervous system and symptoms within the first 4 sessions.
Clients will complete a thorough history of their symptoms and will track changes as they progress with LENS. Click here to view our rates for LENS Neurofeedback.

Alpha-Stim
Alpha-Stim is a non-invasive, non-drug medical device that is FDA cleared to safely and effectively treat anxiety, depression and insomnia.
Alpha-Stim (CES) is a Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation device that clients can use during a therapy session or EMDR session to help reduce Anxiety, Depression and Insomnia. Alpha-Stim applies low level of current across the head. It is FDA cleared.
The Alpha-Stim sends an Alpha wave to the brain. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system to calm the amygdala (the flight, fight freeze) area of our brain. Alpha-Stim is a game changer when used during sessions where emotionally charged content is discussed. It allows the brain to get into the “zone” of being calm, relaxed but also learning. It helps to create more neuroplasticity in the brain allowing for nervous system shifts and lasting changes for clients.
There is no fee for the use of Alpha-Stim in session. Clients report feeling calm, relaxed but alert. They are less anxious and find it easier to sleep.
It has been cleared for Depression and centrally mediated pain syndromes in Europe.
It is a drug free device with no lasting side effects and no risk of addictions.
Alpha-Stim is an evidenced based treatment with over 100 clinical studies.
Alpha-Stim is set to a comfortable current for the client and will run for 20-60 minutes depending upon client needs.
The results are cumulative. Clients are offered Alpha-Stim to use regularly in session or they can rent or order one (a prescription is required by your licensed therapist or medical provider) for use at home.
