Neurofeedback
Board Certified in Neurofeedback by the BCIA, we train brains for many issues ranging from ADHD to PTSD. We optimize brains for peak performance. Whatever your brain-related goals, by optimizing your brain health we optimize your quality of life.
What Is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback is a therapeutic technique that is used to monitor and change brain wave patterns in an attempt to modify behaviors and improve mental health. Many disorders are caused by poorly functioning patterns in the brain. Research has shown the brain can correct itself and learn more adaptive patterns when new patterns are discovered, trained, and reinforced.
Neurofeedback is able to change imbalances and alter brain pathways–no specific disorder or diagnosis needed! Neurofeedback encourages the brain to learn more effective ways to self-regulate and ultimately produce more healthful brainwave patterns which leads to more helpful thinking and behavior patterns. The human brain inherently knows what it needs and naturally self-corrects, self-organizes, and self-rewards. Neurofeedback technology unlocks the brain’s ability to function optimally.

What will Neurofeedback do for me?
Neurofeedback regulates brain wave patterns that have become disrupted, which often leads to us having maladaptive behaviors or distressing symptoms. Patients report better sleep, feeling safer, calmer, happier, and more present in their day to day lives.
What is it exactly & who needs it?
The focus of neurofeedback is the central nervous system and it works to enhance neurological regulation. Most of us have brain wave patterns that have become dysregulated. By directly targeting specific sites in the brain and changing the brain’s physiology, neurofeedback helps to modulate these dysregulated brain wave patterns and create a more efficient brain.
Neurofeecback is great for those looking for a holistic, non-medication approach to reducing symptoms of brain-based conditions like ADHD, PTSD, ASD, insomnia, poor stress response, depression, anxiety, mood fluctuations, chronic pain and fatigue.
Getting Started
EVALUATION
A comprehensive assessment is where neurofeedback starts. Depending on your goals, a qEEG can provide you with an overview of how your brain wave patterns could be impacting your performance and behavior.
TREATMENT PLAN
The assessment provides the framework to neurofeedback training protocols. These protocols and unique client goals are designed to retrain the brainwave patterns towards optimal performance.
BRAIN TRAINING
Once the goals for treatment are identified training begins. Training can occur at home or in our clinic. Client progression is unique to the individual and desired functioning. Many clients conduct 24 - 48 sessions for lasting change.
By optimizing your brain health, The Collective uses Neurofeedback to optimize your quality of life.
Neurofeedback Training Options
Protocol Based Neurofeedback is the original approach in the field and still the most widely used. It focuses on the amplitude of the brainwaves and shifting the output of these waves.

The NeurOptimal approach does not require a diagnosis or evaluation and does not reward the brain for specific behavior which helps bring the brain to its own version of its best self.
