We also provide individual counseling, nutritional counseling and psychoeducational testing. We are the only full time, full service neurotherapy clinic in Northern Virginia with on-site licensed mental health therapists. No other neurofeedback clinic has this distinction and when you are working with mental health conditions such as ADHD, depression and anxiety, clinical State Licensure is very important. Certification is meaningless unless combined with licensure.

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.
