Neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that uses electrodes to measure brain patterns activity. The data is then displayed in real-time, so the patient can see how their brain activity changes in response to different stimuli. The patient learns to control their brain activity, which can lead to improvements in a variety of areas, including:
Attention and focus are the ability to pay attention to something and to keep your mind on it. Attention and focus are important for many aspects of life, including learning, working, and socializing.
Memory is the ability to store and retrieve information. Memory is important for many aspects of life, including learning, working, and remembering important events.

Learning disabilities are neurologically-based processing problems that can interfere with learning basic skills such as reading, writing, and math. Learning disabilities are not caused by a lack of intelligence or motivation, and they can’t be “cured.” However, with the right help, people with learning disabilities can succeed in school and in life.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or a penetrating head injury (when an object pierces the skull and enters the brain). TBI can also occur from a fall or a blow to another part of the body that causes the head and brain to move quickly back and forth.
ADHD stands for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children and adults. People with ADHD have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, and sitting still.

PTSD stands for post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault. While it is normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this kind of experience, if these symptoms last more than a few weeks, it may be PTSD.
Hard events are events that are difficult or challenging to deal with. These events can be traumatic, such as a car accident or the death of a loved one, or they can be less severe, such as a job loss or a breakup. Hard events can have a significant impact on our lives, both emotionally and physically.
Aspects of life are the different parts of our lives, such as our relationships, our work, our health, and our finances. All of these aspects are interconnected, and they can all affect our overall well-being.
Neurofeedback is a safe and effective treatment plan that has been shown to be helpful for people of all ages. It is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that does not require any medication or surgery.
How the Neurofeedback Process Works
Neurofeedback is an innovative approach that works by teaching the brain to self-regulate. The brain is constantly sending and receiving electrical signals. These signals are what allow us to think, feel, and behave. When the brain is not functioning properly, these signals can become disorganized and chaotic. Neurofeedback helps to restore order to the brain’s electrical activity, which can lead to improvements in a variety of areas.
The Neurofeedback Process
The neurofeedback process typically involves a series of 20-30 sessions. Each session lasts for about 30 minutes. During a session, the patient sits in a comfortable chair and wears a headset with electrodes attached to it. The electrodes measure the patient’s brain activity and display it on a computer screen. The patient learns to control their brain activity by playing games or watching videos. As the patient learns to control their brain activity, the brain waves become more organized and efficient.
Benefits of Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback therapy has been shown to be effective for a variety of mental health disorders, including:
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that affects children and adults. People with ADHD have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, and sitting still.

- Sleep disorders are a group of medical conditions that affect the amount, quality, or timing of sleep. They can cause daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. Some common sleep disorders include insomnia, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy.
- The behavioral health case manager is a healthcare professional who helps people with mental health and substance use disorders. They work with patients to develop and implement treatment plans, coordinate care with other providers, and advocate for patients’ needs. Behavioral health case managers may also provide counseling or therapy services.
- Medication management is an important part of the treatment plan for many people with mental health and substance use disorders. It can help to improve symptoms, reduce the risk of relapse, and improve quality of life.
Neurofeedback therapy has also been shown to be helpful for people with chronic pain, such as headaches, migraines, and back pain.
Side Effects of Neurofeedback Therapy
The Neurofeedback process is a safe and effective treatment with very few side effects even in older adults. Some people may experience mild headaches or fatigue after a session, these side effects are usually short-lived and go away on their own.
