Could Neurofeedback Help You?

Neurofeedback is worth exploring if you are struggling with:

Anxiety that will not switch off, even when you know you are safe

Depression that has not fully lifted with therapy or medication

ADHD and attention challenges in adults who struggle to focus or sit still

Trauma and PTSD, especially a nervous system stuck on high alert

Sleep problems, trouble falling asleep or staying asleep

Emotional dysregulation, feelings that hit harder and faster than you can manage

Addiction recovery, where a dysregulated nervous system fuels cravings and relapse

What Is Neurofeedback?

Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that trains your brain using its own electrical activity. Sensors placed on your scalp read your brain waves in real time, and that information is fed back to you through a screen or sound, so your brain can gradually learn to shift toward healthier, more regulated patterns.

The idea is actually simple: the brain learns what it can see. When you give it real-time information about what it is doing, it starts adjusting on its own, the same way a mirror helps you correct your posture without being told.

What neurofeedback is not:

Not medication. Nothing enters your body. No side effects, no dependency.

Not painful or invasive. Sensors only read activity. Nothing is sent to your brain.

Not a quick fix. It works through repetition over time, like training any other capacity.

How Our Neurofeedback Therapy Works

Neurofeedback works at the source, retraining the brain wave patterns underlying your reactions to stress, rather than only managing surface-level symptoms.

Step 1:

qEEG Brain Map

Treatment starts with a qEEG, a quantitative EEG brain map. This identifies which areas of your brain are over- or under-active and which patterns are driving your symptoms.

This step matters because no two brains are the same. The brain map of someone with anxiety looks different from the map of someone with ADHD or trauma. Your training is built from your map, not a template.

Step 2:

A Personalized Training Plan

Using your brain map, we design a training program targeted to your specific patterns and goals.

Step 3:

Training Sessions

During a session, sensors track your brain activity while you engage with something you enjoy, a game, a movie, or music. When your brain moves toward a healthier pattern, the feedback responds. When it drifts, the feedback dims.

Your brain notices and, over time, learns to maintain the healthier pattern on its own. You are not consciously doing anything. Your brain is learning through feedback, below the level of effort.

Step 4:

Lasting Change

Because neurofeedback trains the brain rather than masking symptoms, the goal is durable change. As the patterns hold, many people find their symptoms ease and stay eased.

Benefits of Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback Covered as Part of Your Program

Neurofeedback is included in our PHP and IOP programs and billed as part of that program’s care, not as a separate service. That means coverage generally follows your plan’s coverage for PHP or IOP rather than being authorized on its own.

Our admissions team verifies your specific benefits before you begin, confirms what your plan covers for the program, and gives you a clear breakdown of any out-of-pocket costs.

Neurofeedback Alongside Your Other Care

Neurofeedback is rarely a standalone answer, and it is not meant to be. It works best as part of a coordinated plan.

With therapy:

Neurofeedback can calm a dysregulated nervous system enough for talk therapy to land. When your brain is stuck in fight-or-flight, insight is hard to hold onto. Regulate the system first, and the therapy will go further.

With medication:

It can be used alongside medication, and for some people it becomes part of a longer-term plan to work with their prescriber toward lower doses. Any medication changes are made by your provider, never by us on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is neurofeedback safe?

Yes. It is non-invasive and drug-free. Sensors only read your brain activity; nothing is sent into your brain. Side effects are uncommon and mild, such as feeling tired or briefly wired early in training.

Does Neurofeedback hurt?

No. You feel the sensors resting on your scalp and nothing else. Most people find sessions relaxing.

How many sessions will I need?

Neurofeedback works through repetition, so it is a course of sessions rather than a one-time treatment. Your provider will give you an expected range after your brain map, since it depends on what we are training and your goals.

Will I have to do anything during the session?

Not consciously. You watch a screen or listen to audio while your brain learns through feedback. There is nothing to perform.

Can neurofeedback replace my medication?

It is not a replacement, and we will never tell you to stop a medication. For some people, it becomes part of a longer conversation with their prescriber about their overall plan. Any medication decisions are made by your provider.

Who is neurofeedback best for?

People dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, sleep issues, or emotional dysregulation, and people in addiction recovery whose nervous system needs to relearn regulation. It also suits those who want a drug-free option or an additional tool alongside what they are already doing.

Is neurofeedback the same as TMS therapy?

No. Neurofeedback trains your brain to regulate itself using real-time feedback on your brainwave activity. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions involved in mood and is FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression.

They also work differently here. Neurofeedback is included in our IOP and PHP programs as part of your clinical care. TMS is a standalone outpatient service, so you do not need to be enrolled in a program to receive it.

Is neurofeedback covered by insurance?

Neurofeedback is offered as part of our IOP and PHP programs, not as a standalone service. That means it is included in your program’s clinical care rather than billed separately. Coverage depends on your specific plan and diagnosis, and our team verifies your benefits before you start so you know exactly what your program includes and what it costs.
