An Expert Says
"Neurofeedback is on the cutting edge of the mind-body revolution. I believe it is one of the treatments that will keep us moving toward an era of new approaches of naturally managing our health. Deborah Stokes is an extremely gifted therapist who is on the forefront of her profession."
Candace B. Pert, Ph.D., former chief of Brain Biochemistry at the National Institute of Mental Health and author of Molecules of Emotion and Your Body is Your Subconscious Mind.
A Word of Caution
Use extreme caution when choosing your neurofeedback provider. You get what you pay for. Due to an explosion of unqualified "practitioners" in this new field, we would like to add a word of caution. Not all providers are equivalent. For instance, there are several PhDs in the Washington area who hold a degree in a non-clinical field and who refer to themselves as "Doctor". If they do not state their type of degree and license on their website or do not prominently display them in their office, chances are they do not have relevant degrees and licenses.
You should always ask to see a copy of a clinical (not business) license before allowing them to make decisions about you or your child's brain. A PhD without a professional license to back it up is meaningless when working with clinical conditions such as ADHD, depression, anxiety or headaches. A BCIA certification without the clinical license and degree is meaningless and does not entitle one to treat clinical conditions. If you are seeking help with a mental health condition such as ADHD, anxiety or depression, you will want to make sure your neurotherapy provider has a LICENSE in a mental health field (psychologist, counselor or social worker).
If these people are rendering evaluations, interpreting test results or setting protocols for a medical or mental health issue, they are operating illegally and unsafely. To check to see if a provider holds a license in Virgina, click here: https://secure01.virginiainteractive.org/dhp/cgi-bin/search_publicdb.cgi , then on the bottom blue box, type in their name and choose the State of Virginia. Leave the Occupation listed as "Any" and the Status as "Any". If their name does not appear, they have no valid license to treat mental health or medical issues. Buyer beware!
