Frequently Asked Questions

Our brain therapy, commonly known as neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback, is a non-invasive, drug-free method for training the brain to function more efficiently. We use advanced technology to monitor your brainwaves in real-time and guide them toward more optimal patterns, effectively helping you strengthen cognitive control and regulate attention.

The process begins with a comprehensive brain map (QEEG) to identify any irregular brainwave patterns. Based on this map, we create a personalized training protocol. During sessions, you'll watch a movie or play a simple game while sensors monitor your brain activity. The screen brightens or the game progresses when your brain produces desired patterns, providing positive reinforcement that trains your brain over time.

Yes, it is exceptionally safe. The process is completely non-invasive, meaning nothing is put into your brain. The sensors only read your brainwave activity. It's a learning process, not a medical procedure. Side effects are rare and typically mild, such as temporary fatigue as the brain works in a new way, similar to how muscles feel after exercise.

Our therapy is suitable for people of all ages, from young children (typically 6 and up) to adolescents and adults. It is particularly effective for individuals dealing with symptoms of ADHD and ADD, including inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It can also benefit those looking to improve general cognitive performance, focus, and mental clarity.

Medication can be very effective for managing symptoms, but it only works while it is active in the body. Our brain therapy is a form of learning that aims to create lasting changes in brain function. The goal is for the brain to learn to regulate itself permanently, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for medication under the guidance of your prescribing doctor.

A typical session lasts about 30-45 minutes. The total number of sessions varies depending on the individual's needs, as revealed by the brain map. Most clients attend 1-2 sessions per week. While some improvements may be noticed early on, a full course often ranges from 20 to 40 sessions to ensure the new brain patterns are stable and lasting.

This varies for each person. Some individuals report feeling calmer or more focused after just a few sessions. More significant and stable improvements in areas like attention, mood regulation, and academic/work performance typically become noticeable after 10-15 sessions. Consistency is key to achieving the best outcomes.

For most people, yes. Because neurofeedback is a learning process, the brain incorporates the new, more efficient patterns as its default way of operating. Once the training is complete and the patterns are stable, the results are typically long-lasting. Follow-up studies have shown that the benefits of neurofeedback are maintained years after treatment ends.

Insurance coverage for neurofeedback can vary widely between providers and plans. Some plans may cover it under "biofeedback" or mental health services. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to inquire about your specific coverage. We can provide you with the necessary billing codes and documentation to assist with your claim.

A session is a relaxing and often enjoyable experience. You will be seated in a comfortable chair while watching a screen. There is no pain or discomfort involved. Most clients, including children, find the process engaging and look forward to their sessions. The primary feeling is one of focused relaxation.
