Science of EEG-Biofeedback
Neurofeedback uses positive reinforcement to enhance performance. In other words, every time your brain is showing improvement, you are rewarded.
Raise your right arm. Good. How did you do you that? How do you know that you successfully did it? Most people will say their brain sent a signal to their arm, and they know they did it because they could feel it and see it. Now, increase the relaxation in your brain. Decrease mental fog. You cannot see that or easily understand what it would feel like to make those changes. That is why neurofeedback is so powerful. I can teach you how to change those brainwave patterns while showing them to you on a screen.
There are two kind of Neurofeedback systems: passive and active. Passive systems send a signal to your brain to help jump start it. This is a gentle process, and is NOT shock therapy. Active Neurofeedback requires you to be engaged in the process. A machine reads your brainwaves, and you are rewarded when you show improvement.
There are several reasons you might choose passive or active neurofeedback. Active generally provides more permanent change and leaves the client in control. Passive can create faster change and puts the machine in control more than the client.

Frequently Asked Questions
Assessment, treatment, and private session. Whenever possible, I have clients start with a brain map so we know exactly what areas of their brain need to be trained and how. I also incorporate many skills including meditation, psychotherapy, and yoga to help achieve your goals. Finally, I work 1:1 with clients and do not use technicians, so you are always getting high quality care.
Generally one session per week is enough with in-office training. This also depends on your treatment goals and how quickly you want to achieve them.
The average number of sessions for permanent change in someone’s brain is 30. Many people experience benefits in as little as 5-10. This can vary based on personal traits, number of goals, and regularity of session.
Most clients finish their treatment in 3-6 months, and in most cases they do not need to return for booster sessions unless a significant event has occurred (i.e. trauma, major stress, car accident). Some clients do find that working on a few goals initially is most helpful, and then returning to work on additional goals about a year later continues to improve their performance.
