Frequently Asked Questions

About Neurofeedback

  • Will neurofeedback therapy change my personality?

    No. Neurofeedback training sessions are designed to help your brain’s connections communicate more efficiently and stay balanced. It can make you calmer, more resilient to stress, and clearer-headed. It will not change your hobbies, interests, or who you are.

  • Will I notice a difference right away?

    Some patients have told us that they have noticed differences after the first session. Most patients notice positive changes after 6-8 sessions, customarily done over 3-4 weeks. 

  • Are neurofeedback session results long-lasting?

    Yes. It helps to think of neurofeedback as a type of therapy. Typically, our patients finish their treatment regimen and do not need to return. However, as life happens and changes occur, some people may opt to continue periodically as a “tune-up” or return later on to address new challenges. 

  • Will neurofeedback training sessions interfere with my current medications?

    No. We encourage you to continue taking any medications recommended by your physician. Over time, we will work with you and your prescribing physician to determine if you may reduce or eliminate medications based on your results.

  • Are there any side effects reported for neurofeedback?

    No. In the 40 plus years that neurofeedback training has been available, no side effects have ever been reported.

  • Is biofeedback the same as neurofeedback?

    Neurofeedback is a more specialized type of biofeedback. Biofeedback refers to a training technique where a person learns to regulate certain body functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, or in this case, brain wave patterns. Neurofeedback can also be called Neurotherapy, neurobiofeedback, and EEG biofeedback.

  • What types of people do you treat?

    We treat children ages 6 and older and adults who are seeking relief from ADD/ADHD, anxiety, autism, bipolar disorder, concussion or brain injuries, depression, insomnia, migraines, PTSD or trauma, seizures or epilepsy, and for those wanting to improve their performance or handle stress better. We never allow the severity of symptoms to limit your access to treatment. However, for neurofeedback, individuals must be able to sit relatively still for at least 20 minutes.

  • Do you take insurance?

    We accept payments from Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA), Medical Savings Accounts (MSA), and credit cards. Most health insurance will not cover neurofeedback training, however, we can provide you with a detailed receipt if you would like to submit it to your insurance as an out of network service. We also offer sliding scales and the option to pay over time. We strongly believe that our services are for everyone. Please schedule a consultation and we will do everything we can to work with your financial situation.
