Training electrodes are placed on the client’s head and a neurofeedback instrument reads the brainwave frequencies which are displayed on the monitor. The neurofeedback program gives the client a visual and auditory feedback display to help the client increase or decrease the amplitudes of their brain waves. During training, the client learns to maintain their brainwave activity above or below a threshold set by their therapist. With repeated trainings desired improvements are noticed. Progress takes time but is long-lasting even after completion of treatments.

Neurofeedback treatments are routinely used for children to address symptoms of ADHD / ADD, ASD, Anxiety, depression, FASD, headaches, TBI, learning disabilities, sensory processing disorder and to enhance cognitive performance.

Yes. If you are considering the NITI’s treatment approach then, an initial brain map (QEEG / quantative electroencephalogram analysis) is required to understand the primary concerns that may be causing the presenting problems. Brain map / QEEG is not a diagnostic assessment and assists in developing treatment protocols.

It is done by our board-certified licensed clinician in the office. EEG recording takes about an hour and needs some preparation. The QEEG report comes as 30-page report of eyes open and eyes closed assessment. Our

clinician will go over the results and answer any questions before starting the treatments. QEEG is repeated on as needed basis to assess the progress of treatments.

The total duration of training varies from person to person, findings on the brain map, severity of the presenting problems, frequency of treatments and response to treatments. While most of our clients are able to train easily, some may find it more difficult and challenging and could take longer to train & improve. Some conditions like ASD, FASD, Fibromyalgia, MS, and Conversion Disorder may require more treatment sessions than others.

At your first visit, you will meet with our board-certified neurofeedback specialist who will give you an overview of treatments including our unique integrated treatment approaches.

Together, these modalities can create lasting change and recovery. Our integrated approach improves overall brain function so you can better engage in improving your quality of life and make healthy decisions for yourself.

It depends upon the initial assessment / QEEG findings, severity of presenting problems, frequency and consistency of treatments, sensitivity or resilience to treatments. It also depends upon if it is an integrated treatment approach or just neurobiofeedback with counseling.

In fact, we encourage you to not stop taking medications. As treatments progress we will work with you and your physician to assess if you need to reduce dosage, change or taper off some of your meds.

No. If the treatments are done by a board certified (BCN) and licensed clinician based on a QEEG assessment then there should be no side effects to the treatments.
