Who are Neurofeedback Consultants and How are We Different from Others Providing This Service?
We are the only full time, full service neurotherapy clinic in Northern Virginia staffed by licensed mental health therapists. No other clinic has this distinction and when you are working with mental health conditions such as ADHD, depression and anxiety, this is very important. Our team of experts includes two Licensed Psychologists, two Licensed Professional Counselors, a Licensed School Psychologist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. We also recognize the role nutrition plays in many of the conditions we treat and have a Registered Dietitian on staff. All of our professionals have training and experience in brain based interventions and Dr. Stokes has additional certification (BCIA-EEG) in EEG biofeedback by the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America.
What is Neurofeedback and how is it done?
Also known as EEG biofeedback, neurofeedback training assists individuals in improving their overall functioning. It is a non-drug, non-invasive and painless method for training the brain. Sensors are attached to the scalp, which feed brainwaves into an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine that is linked to a computer. The brainwaves are converted to audio and video displays, which resemble video games. Individuals with ADD/ADHD, for example, often have a higher percentage of slow brainwaves compared to non-ADD/ADHD individuals.
Watching the video screen and listening to tones give the client immediate feedback on whether his/her brain is making faster or slower brainwaves. By practicing the making of brainwaves that are normally present when they are calm and focused, clients learn, over time, to maintain the desired state. There are neurofeedback protocols for a variety of presenting conditions.
