Neurofeedback
Neurofeedback is a drug-free, reward-based training system that trains your brain to recognize dissonant brainwave patterns and replace them with balanced, beneficial activity. This can help manage anxiety, addictions, and impulsivity.
Neurofeedback sessions involve wearing sensors that monitor brain activity and transmit this data to a computer. Your therapist then utilizes this feedback to alter your brain waves in order to achieve the desired state.
A therapist may project a positive image onto the computer screen to demonstrate that your brainwaves are in an ideal state. Such reinforcements can help promote the reorganization of these waves and restore optimal functioning.
Neurofeedback is an effective treatment for a variety of disorders and symptoms, such as autism, ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD and learning disabilities. It often works in combination with medication and psychotherapy.
Counseling
Counseling can be a powerful tool to enhance the quality of your life. It can assist with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, grief and trauma issues, relationship troubles and more. Counseling also offers an opportunity to learn new ways of thinking and acting.
