    Tap into the power of your brain

    Neurofeedback is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive, drug-free method for teaching the brain to function in a more focused and efficient way. 

    Neuroplasticity is your brain’s ability to create new neural pathways. Your brain is not hard-wired, it is not limited or fixed. Find out more about how neurofeedback can help you achieve your life goals.

    WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK

    BrainPaint®  Neurofeedback (or EEG-Biofeedback) is a sophisticated and sensitive system that trains neurological responses using immediate auditory and visual feedback. 

     

    When it comes to how we think and feel, the brain can get stuck in three different states.

    • Some brains get stuck in a state that is too sleepy (low motivation, poor cognitive processing, hard time main thing focus, talking and moving slow)

    • Some brains get stuck in a state that is too hyperactive (impulsive, difficulty focusing on one thing as the brain jumps from topic to topic)

    • Some brains can get stuck in loops that play back traumas, fears, and anxieties. Across time more and more things are generalized and pulled into this loop, making the brain react negatively to progressively more experiences. 

     

    Neurofeedback trains the brain to regulate and function in ideal frequency states. Over time, this leads to a decrease of symptoms associated with parts of the brain that are functioning outside of those ideal frequencies.

     

    Neurofeedback is an effective and safe intervention that allows clients to achieve long-term success in managing their symptoms. One of the big advantages of neurofeedback training is that it does not require the use of prescription drugs or any sort of external brain stimulation. Instead, neurofeedback maximizes the brain’s innate capacity to learn new states of functioning with specific, immediate feedback. And because the learning results are self-generated, clients can continue to experience positive results long after therapy has concluded. 

     

    UNIQUE TO BRAINPAINT 

    Alpha-theta training for trauma

    We have selected the BrianPaint® neurofeedback system because of the unique implementation of alpha-theta protocols demonstrated in clinical studies to address the myriad effects of trauma. In our clinic we have witnessed alpha-theta protocols support both adults and children recover from some of the most complex forms of trauma, including early attachment traumas (foster, adoption) and developmental traumas (domestic abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and harsh adversity).  

    Developmental trauma can directly impact the brain structure and function, and those changes can last a lifetime. When you introduce neurofeedback you have the opportunity to retrain brain patterns and teach the brain to work both more efficiently but also more harmoniously. 

    What our clients have to say

    “I’m an adult with ADD symptoms. It wasn’t bad enough that I wanted to go the medication route, but it definitely made me distracted at work and annoyed the heck out of my wife. I did neurofeedback because I wanted to see if it could make things better without drugs – and it did! I stopped losing my keys and wallet all the time, I can finish my work projects on time and I even put my dirty clothes in the hamper. If thats not a miracle I dont know what is.”

    “I had a lot of early childhood neglect and trauma. I tried doing trauma therapy but my body would get so overwhelmed and flooded with feeling unsafe that I had to stop. The alpha-theta protocols help my brain and body remember that I am safe now, and make it possible to keep working through the trauma.”

    “My son was struggling a lot – had a hard time making friends, couldn’t sit still, couldn’t shut his mind off at night, would make a lot of impulsive noised, and would butt-in on other people’s conversations and games. He finished neurofeedback about a year go and he is still maintaining his progress – he’s got great friends now, he can fall asleep easily, and he’s just so much more relaxed and aware of the world around him.

    “I use neurofeedback to keep my mind sharp. I live a high-paced life and it helps me maximize my efficiency and ability to focus.”

    “Our five year old was about to get kicked out of daycare because of her impulsive behavior – hitting other kids, taking their toys away, screaming when she didn’t get her way. All of that slowly melted away during her neurofeedback training.”

    “It used to take me up to two hours to fall asleep because I couldn’t shut my mind off at night. Now I can fall asleep easily – it happens so fast I’m not even sure how long it takes anymore.”

    “My daughter started getting night terrors around age 6. It was the worst feeling as a parent to be powerless to help her – we couldn’t wake her out of her bad dreams. It wasn’t long after starting neurofeedback that the night terrors went away – we woke up one morning realizing we all had a peaceful night of sleep!”

    “Boy, I had a really short fuse  – I would go from 0 to 100 in road rage or when my wife would irritate me. She says I’m doing a lot better now, and I can feel myself able to slow down my reaction.”

    “I would get stuck in these anxious thought loops, catastrophizing, thinking the worst will happen, and getting frozen in that fear. I’m able to look at things more realistically now, which lets me live a little.”
