Our Specialties
Neurofeedback (Brain Wave Training)
Sometimes, talk therapy isn't enough. That's because the brain's biology plays a critical role in how we think, feel, and function. In many mental health conditions, brainwave activity can become stuck in unhealthy patterns, often contributing to symptoms such as brain fog, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep dysregulation.
Neurofeedback therapy is an innovative, evidence-based treatment that helps the brain retrain itself to support healthier brainwave patterns. By using the brain's own language, neurofeedback therapy promotes natural biological change, improved mental clarity, and better overall brain function.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Many people spend years in therapy without experiencing the relief they’re seeking. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process distressing memories and emotional challenges more efficiently.
Using guided eye movements and imagery, Accelerated Resolution Therapy enables the brain to reframe challenging experiences without requiring a detailed retelling. This approach often leads to reduced symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress, helping people move forward with greater emotional balance and well-being.
Why Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback: A Complement to Talk Therapy
When neurofeedback therapy is used alongside talk therapy, it supports healing on both a brain and emotional level. Talk therapy helps you explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. While neurofeedback works behind the scenes by training the brain to regulate itself more effectively.
Neurofeedback gently guides the brain toward healthier patterns, which can improve focus, emotional stability, and reduce your stress response. Psychotherapy helps you understand what you’re experiencing by identifying the root causes of emotional distress. It also equips you with effective coping strategies and practical tools that support personal growth and long-term mental well-being.
Together, neurofeedback and psychotherapy create a balanced approach so that change is more natural, lasting, and sustainable.
How Does Neurofeedback Enhance Psychotherapy?
Stabilization
By calming an over-aroused nervous system, neurofeedback can reduce distracting symptoms like severe anxiety or emotional dysregulation, which often interferes with talk therapy.
Engagement
Neurofeedback can improve a client’s ability to be present and focused during therapy sessions. As the brain self-regulates and symptoms like distractibility or brain fog lesson, the client becomes more receptive to the insights, techniques, and emotional processing central to psychotherapy. This makes them better able to absorb and apply the lessons learned in the therapeutic environment.
Deepening & Generalization
Neurofeedback may accelerate the therapeutic process. Once the brain is more stable and engaged, clients can more effectively access and work through trauma, deeply held beliefs, or cognitive patterns that the therapist is targeting. The brain’s new ability to maintain a calmer, more optimal state can also help the client generalize the emotional and cognitive gains from the therapy room into their everyday life.
