Life-Changing Neurofeedback Training
A Natural Treatment for ADHD, Anxiety and Autism Symptoms
Neurofeedback is a well-researched, results-driven means of instigating change without the need for medication. This drug-free approach is gaining popularity worldwide as a solution for those grappling with the stress, tension, and sensory issues often associated with anxiety, ADHD, or autism.
While many opt for traditional methods to help these symptoms, an increasing number of people seek a safe, medication-free alternative. That’s where Neurofeedback Training (NFT) comes into the picture. NFT is a natural, effective solution that can help you in altering and retraining your brain functionality.
Substantiated Research & Proven Results
Neurofeedback has gained recognition from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which has rated it as a Level One Intervention for ADHD – the highest endorsement available. Backed by over 35 years of consistent research, neurofeedback therapy stands out as an established and proven approach. For those looking for a holistic approach to ADHD or a non-invasive ADHD treatment, neurofeedback training may be the right approach.
Additionally, NFT has been examined and tested for a broad array of sensory-related complications, spanning from anxiety, stress, non-pharmaceutical ADHD treatment, and focus-related challenges to mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and even autism.
Studies have shown that neurofeedback for traumatic brain injury clients improved motivation and reduced symptoms related to attention, mood, and mindfulness. Neurotherapy for anxiety, while needing more studies, has also shown promising results. At MVP, our clients consistently report the positive results of neurofeedback even when other therapies have not been effective.
Benefits of Neurofeedback Training
Neurofeedback training aims to:
- Enhance focus, clarity, and memory.
- Curb hyperactivity, anxiety, and impulsive decision-making.
- Alleviate symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.
- Minimize distractions due to noise, sound, and textures.
- Offer a non-invasive, medication-free solution.
- Lessen or completely eradicate the need for medication.
Your Neurofeedback Journey Begins with Brain Mapping
At Mountain Vista Psychology (MVP), our first step is to conduct an initial consultation to gain a better understanding of your personal history and symptoms. Subsequently, we perform a Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) to visualize your brain’s functionality. During this non-invasive procedure, which lasts about an hour, you can relax while we collect data on your brain wave activity.
The process involves fitting a cap fitted with 19 sensors onto your scalp. As these sensors are connected, we gather 10 minutes of data with your eyes open and again with your eyes closed. This brain mapping technique lets us read the electrical signals your brain is producing, providing a precise ‘image’ of how we can assist you.
Once we have the map, it is a matter of helping to guide you through methods of mentally adjusting how you think. This is done with interactive games that encourage thinking in ways that reduce symptoms by inducing positive feedback. For example, an ADHD client may be asked to focus on a car that is driving, like in a video game, while sensors on their head collect the electrical activity in their brain. When the client loses focus the car glitches which informs the client that they need to refocus. Through this interactive game, the client learns to think in ways that maximize focus on a task.
Personalized Training & Support
Upon thorough analysis of the data against a normative database, we can accurately demonstrate how your difficulties relate to your brain’s functionality.
Our first meeting will not only educate you about neurofeedback but also assess your suitability for our program. If you decide to proceed with the training, we craft a personalized plan tailored to your brain mapping results and the issues you wish to address.
Typically, the training involves:
- 2-3 visits per week, each lasting 45 minutes
- Placement of scalp sensors on specific brain training areas
- Playing computer games to generate feedback
- Ongoing measurement, analysis, and adjustments
Although the number of sessions may vary based on individual needs and severity of the condition, typically 30 to 40 sessions suffice to manifest enduring change.
